Removing an Issue from a Sprint

You can remove an issue from a planned sprint, or from an active sprint that is currently in progress. Note that removing an issue from an active sprint will be shown as a 'scope change' event on the Burndown Chart for that sprint..

Please note:

• This page only applies to Scrum boards.

• 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 remove an issue from 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.
4. Click either Plan or Work.
5. Right-click the issue and select Remove from Sprint (see screenshot below).
   Note that you cannot remove a sub-task from a sprint, as sub-tasks always belong to the same sprint as their parent.
