We’re updating our terminology in Jira

The term ‘project’ will soon be replaced with 'space'. You may notice some inconsistencies while we make this change.

What are parallel sprints?

This page is for company-managed spaces

To check whether your space is team-managed or company-managed, select More actions (•••) next to the space name in either the header or the sidebar. At the bottom of the menu that opens, your space details will be shown.

More about the difference between company-managed and team-managed spaces.

 

The Parallel sprints feature lets you enable multiple active sprints that are running in parallel with each other. For example, if you have two teams working from the same backlog, each team can now work on their own active sprint simultaneously.

There are some caveats when using parallel sprints:

  • The Velocity Chart will not show the velocity per team.

  • The current implementation assumes that the teams perform estimation identically, which is unlikely in practice.
