Sprint Management
BetterBoard shows sprint state on cards and lets you move work items between sprints directly from the board — without opening each work item individually.
Sprint display on cards
When the Sprint field is enabled in display fields, each card shows its current sprint as a chip. Sprint chips have visual states:
- Active sprint: blue half circle
- Future sprint: grey dashed circle
- Backlog: no icon shown (work item not in any sprint)
- Closed sprint: green circle with a tick
Moving work items to a sprint
Via inline editing: Click the sprint chip on a card, then select a different sprint from the picker.
Via drag: If the board is grouped by Sprint, drag the work item card to the target sprint's column.
Via bulk action: Select multiple work items, then use the bulk action bar → Move to sprint → choose target sprint.
Filtering by sprint
Use the Sprint filter to scope the board to specific sprints:
- Active sprint: shows only work items in the current active sprint
- Named sprint: pick any sprint by name
- Backlog: work items not in any sprint
Combined with the is current user assignee filter, a "My active sprint" view can be created on a shared board that personalizes automatically for each viewer.
Sprint column view
Group the board by Sprint to get one column per sprint:
- Open Settings → Columns → Group by → Sprint
- BetterBoard creates columns for active, future, and recent sprints
- Drag work items between sprint columns to change their sprint assignment
Toggle Show closed sprints in column settings to include or hide completed sprints.
Permissions
Moving work items to sprints requires the Manage sprints permission in Jira. If you don't have this permission, sprint chips are read-only and the sprint picker is disabled.
