Sprints

Sprints in WeKraft are time-boxed execution periods—typically spanning 1 to 2 weeks—during which your team commits to delivering a set of planned tasks and resolving open issues.

Sub-topics

To help you manage and configure team sprints, see the following operational guides:

• Create Sprints: Step-by-step instructions on setting sprint goals, defining date ranges, and adding backlog items.
• Edit Sprints: How to activate or complete sprints, and track active sprint metrics.
• Assign Sprints: How to allocate items within a sprint and monitor member commitments.

The Sprint Lifecycle

Every sprint transitions through exactly three states:

stateDiagram-v2
    [*] --> Planned : Created in backlog
    Planned --> Active : Click "Start Sprint" (Only 1 active at a time)
    Active --> Completed : Click "Complete"
    Completed --> [*] : Stats frozen, incomplete items sent to Backlog

1. Planned: Sprints are created from the Sprints dashboard. Developers add tasks or issues from the backlog list into the planned sprint's detail page dialog.
2. Active: Work begins. WeKraft monitors task movements. Only one sprint can be active per project.
3. Completed: The active sprint is closed by the project owner or administrator. WeKraft automatically performs cleanups:
   • Freezes the completion statistics (completed tasks vs total tasks, closed issues vs total issues) for analytics.
   • Automatically returns any incomplete tasks or open issues back to the project Backlog.
