Summary
The Sprint Start Date in plan is showing 1 day prior from the actual start date of the sprint.
Environment
Jira Software cloud
Diagnosis
Check your timezone in Jira. If it is IST timezone and If you have put 12.00 am or 12.30 am IST as your sprint start time.
Considering IST = UTC+ 5.30, the time displayed on plans would be UTC = IST - 5.30 am, which is shown as previous day.
Cause
As for all dates in Advanced Roadmaps, sprint dates are converted to their UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) equivalent.
Solution
In order to overcome this, the workaroundis to select a time for sprint start date as 5.30 am when your timezone is IST hours.
