Adding an Issue to a Sprint

Once you have identified that an issue is due to be actioned, you will need to add it to a sprint. You can either add an issue to a future sprint, or to the sprint that is currently in progress (the active sprint).

Please note:

• This page only applies to Scrum boards.

• Sub-tasks cannot be moved independently of their parents.
• You will need to have the 'Edit Issue' permission in the project to which the issue belongs.
• If you are moving the issue above or below other issues, you will need to have the 'Schedule Issue' permission in the project to which the issue belongs.

To add an issue to a sprint,

1. Log in to JIRA.

2. Click the Agile link's down-arrow in the top navigation bar, then select your preferred board from the resulting dropdown menu.

3. Your board will be displayed. Click 'Plan'.
4. Select the issue(s) (use Shift>Click or Ctrl>Click) and right-click, then select the relevant sprint (see screenshot below).
   Alternatively, you can drag-and-drop individual issues onto the relevant sprint.

Note that adding an issue to an active sprint will be shown as a 'scope change' event on the Burndown Chart for that sprint. Also note that adding an issue to a sprint on one board will affect all other boards which contain that issue.
