How to Close Sprint in Jira with Open Issues
Here's how you can close a sprint in Jira with open issues:
- Select the project that has the active sprint you want to close.
- On the left-hand menu, click on 'Active sprints'. This will display the current sprint and all the issues within it.
- At the top-right corner of the sprint panel, you’ll see a 'Complete Sprint' button. Click on it.
- A dialogue box will appear summarizing the sprint, including both completed and incomplete issues.
- Jira will ask you what you want to do with the open issues. Click the drop-down menu and choose where to move the issues either 'Backlog' or 'New sprint'.
- Once you have chosen where to move the open issues, click 'Complete sprint' to apply the changes.
- That's it! Jira will automatically move the open issues based on your selection and mark the sprint as complete.
