Activate the Sprints

Last updated on Dec 28, 2025

The Sprints feature in Oktuple allows teams to organize work into focused, time-boxed iterations — a core practice in the Scrum framework. Activating Sprints enables you to manage tasks more effectively, track progress, and generate detailed reports to evaluate team performance.

✅ Available on all Oktuple plans
🔐 Can be enabled by Workspace Owners or Admins during project creation

🔧 Why Use Sprints?

  • Break down complex projects into manageable cycles

  • Start focused work sessions with clear goals

  • Track tasks and team progress from the Kanban Board

  • Analyze performance with visual reports

🚀 How to Start a Sprint in Oktuple

Follow these simple steps to activate and begin using sprints:

  1. Open your Scrum project.

  2. From the left sidebar, click sprint.

  3. Locate the desired sprint and click the Start Sprint button on the right side of the sprint bar.

Once started, the sprint becomes active and visible on the Kanban Board.

➕ How to Add Issues to a Sprint

You can add tasks or issues to a sprint in several ways:

  • From the Backlog:
    Create a new issue and drag it into the desired sprint.

  • Change Issue Group from the Issue Modal

Easily move an issue between Backlog and Sprints directly from its modal. Simply open the issue, and update its group to quickly reorganize tasks without leaving the current view.

  • Move Between Sprints:
    Drag existing issues from another sprint into your current sprint.

  • From the Board View:
    Create and add issues directly to the active sprint.

🗂️ View Active Sprint in Kanban Board

After activating a sprint, it will appear in the Kanban View, where you can:

  • View all tasks within the active sprint

  • Move tasks between columns as they progress

  • Collaborate with your team in real-time
