Sprints in ISO Mate are iterations that group issues into a focused delivery window. You create and manage them from the DevOps group in the left sidebar, then move each sprint through the Future, Active, and Closed states as work progresses. Only one sprint can be active at a time, which keeps your team committed to a single scope.
Creating a sprint
- Open Sprints: In the left sidebar, expand the DevOps group and select Sprints.
- Start a new sprint: Select Add Sprint to open the sprint dialog.
- Enter the details: Give the sprint a name (required), then optionally add a goal, a start date, and an end date.
- Save: Confirm to create the sprint. It begins in the Future state.
Sprint states
Every sprint sits in one of three states, shown as a badge on the sprint list and detail view.
- Future: The default state for a new sprint. It is still being planned and has not started.
- Active: The sprint is in progress. Only one sprint can be active at a time.
- Closed: The sprint has finished. A closed sprint is locked, so its issues can no longer be edited from the sprint view.
Starting and closing a sprint
You start and close sprints from the Backlog, which is also in the DevOps group of the sidebar. These actions need the sprint management permission.
- Start Sprint: On the Backlog, select Start Sprint on a planned sprint. A sprint needs a start date before it can begin, so ISO Mate opens the edit dialog for you to set one if it is missing. The sprint then moves to Active.
- Close Sprint: Select Close Sprint on the active sprint and confirm in the dialog. The sprint moves to Closed.
Working inside a sprint
Select a sprint name to open its detail view, where every issue in the sprint is listed (subtasks are grouped under their parents). From this table you can edit an issue inline without leaving the page.
- Type: Switch between Story, Task, and Bug.
- Status: Move an issue across To Do, In Progress, and Done.
- Priority: Set High, Medium, or Low.
- Assignee: Assign a team member or clear the assignment.
- Summary: Double click the summary to rename the issue.
You can also create a new issue directly into the sprint, adjust an issue ICE score, and open any issue for its full detail. Once a sprint is closed these inline edits are turned off.
Finding and exporting sprints
The Sprints list supports search, sorting, and a state filter so you can narrow down to Future, Active, Closed, or every sprint that is not yet closed. When you need the data outside the console, use the Export control to download the current list as CSV or PDF.
