Use this interactive demo to learn how to rename a sprint directly in your Jira scrum board.

Quick summary

You can edit a sprint name in Jira by navigating to the Backlog, opening More Actions next to the sprint, and updating the name via the Edit Sprint dialog. This quick workflow lets agile teams keep their Jira scrum board organized with accurate, up-to-date sprint labels.


Steps

  1. In your Jira scrum board, go to the top menu bar and click Backlog.
  2. Find the specific sprint you want to rename and click the More Actions button next to it.
  3. Select Edit Sprint from the dropdown list of options.
  4. Click the Sprint Name field and replace the existing name with your new input.
  5. Click Update to apply and save the changes.
  6. The sprint name on your Jira scrum board is now updated based on your input.

📌 Why this matters

Keeping sprint names accurate in Jira is essential for agile teams to maintain clear project tracking and reporting. Renaming a sprint directly from the Jira Backlog takes just seconds, reducing confusion across boards, dashboards, and sprint reports. This feature helps Scrum Masters and project managers ensure that every sprint label reflects the current iteration or goal, improving team alignment. Proper sprint naming also makes Jira velocity charts and release plans easier to interpret for stakeholders.
