Managing Sprint Management

Workspace-Level Enablement​

Sprint Management is enabled by default at the workspace level if your subscription plan (e.g., Growth Plan) supports it.

Key Points:

  • Sprint Management allows you to manage sprints across your projects, and (if enabled) use story points for estimation.
  • For each workspace where Sprint Management is enabled, you can configure:
    • Default Sprint Duration: Set how long each sprint should last (e.g., 14 days, 2 weeks).
    • Story Points: Enable or disable the use of story points for tracking task complexity or effort.

This gives your team flexibility to define how sprints should work workspace by workspace.

Enable or Disable Sprint Management at the Workspace Level​

If you don’t want Sprint Management enabled for a specific workspace:

  1. Go to Workspace Settings: Navigate to the workspace where you want to disable Sprint Management.
