Enterprise Sprint Automation — Bulk Create & Auto Start/End

Stop managing sprints manually. Start managing the work. Enterprise Sprint Automation handles the repetitive sprint housekeeping your teams do every single fortnight — so they never have to think about it again.

What Is This App?

Enterprise Sprint Automation — Bulk Create & Auto Start/End is a native Jira Cloud app that does two things really well:

1. Automatically closes and starts sprints on every Scrum board you configure — on time, every time, without anyone touching a button.

2. Bulk-creates sprints for your entire organization in one sitting — perfect for PI planning, quarterly planning, or any time you need to pre-provision a full schedule across multiple teams.

It runs entirely inside Atlassian's own cloud infrastructure. There is no external server, no third-party system, and no data leaving your Atlassian environment.

The Problem It Solves

Key Benefits

Save Hours Every Sprint

Closing a sprint, moving tickets, starting the next one — even for a single team — takes 5–10 minutes. Across 20 teams, that is over 3 hours of admin work every two weeks that simply disappears.

Never Miss a Sprint Boundary

The app checks every opted-in board every five minutes. Sprints close and start on time, even overnight, over weekends, or during holidays — with no human intervention required.

Built for Enterprise Scale

Whether you manage 5 teams or 100, the app handles your scale. Large bulk-creation jobs (50+ sprints across an entire Agile Release Train) are processed asynchronously so Jira is never flooded and your users are never left waiting.

SAFe and PI Planning Ready

Purpose-built for Program Increment (PI) planning ceremonies. In one session, a Release Train Engineer can provision a full 12-week PI — 6 two-week sprints for every team in the ART — with consistent names, aligned dates, and working-day calendars applied automatically.

Secure by Design — Runs on Atlassian

The app is built on the Atlassian Forge platform and is designed to meet the criteria of Atlassian's Runs on Atlassian program. This means:

• All data stays inside Atlassian's infrastructure

• No external servers or third-party hosting

• No customer data leaves your Atlassian environment

• Least-privilege API access — the app only reads and writes what it needs

Fully Configurable, Per Team

Every Scrum board has its own settings:

• Where unfinished work goes (Backlog, Next Sprint, or Next Sprint skipping the first — useful for IP sprints)

• How incomplete subtasks are handled (carry the parent along or ignore child status)

• Sprint duration

• Sprint naming template and auto-numbering

• Working-days calendar (skip weekends, holidays, IP sprints)

• Whether parallel sprints are enabled

Who Is This For?

How It Works — In Three Steps

1. Install the app from the Atlassian Marketplace.

2. Open Space Settings → Enterprise Sprint Automation Configuration, select your Scrum boards, and configure each one.

3. Done. Sprints close and start automatically. Use the Bulk Sprint Creation page for PI and quarterly planning.

Feature Highlights

Automated Sprint Lifecycle

• Closes the active sprint at its configured end time

• Moves unfinished issues to Backlog, Next Sprint, or Next Sprint (skip first) — your choice, per board

• Optionally moves issues with incomplete subtasks regardless of parent issue status

• Starts the next sprint automatically

• Optionally creates a new empty future sprint so planning is always possible

• Idempotent — concurrent Jira events never cause a sprint to be closed or started twice

Bulk Sprint Creation

• Create dozens of sprints across many boards from a single screen

• Preview every sprint name and date before committing — no surprises

• Import from CSV for teams that work from a shared planning spreadsheet

• Templated sprint names: {{project}} — {{board}} #42, ART1 PI3 Sprint 1, etc.

• Bulk delete future sprints and regenerate after a PI plan change

• Working-days calendar per board — start and end times automatically skip non-working days

Operator Tooling

• Admin configuration page under Space Settings

• Sprint Report Cards automatically generated at each sprint start and close — with the list of unfinished issues, their destination, and a copyable plain-text summary

• Application logs surfaced in the admin UI for quick incident triage

• Asynchronous queue processing with automatic retry and rate-limit back-off
