Hi @Siva Gnanaparan

Currently there no exact way to check from the log / history on who started a sprint.

Nevertheless, there is a workaround method to be notified once there are change to the sprint.

There are also a few threads created below:

Hi @Seng Pang , Thank you

Hi @Siva Gnanaparan and welcome to the Community!

The sprint and burndown charts display who closed a sprint, but not who started it. So, if a sprint was not closed, there's no immediate way inside the tool to see who did not do this. I would assume there's not so many people on your team who could have forgotten to close the last sprint / start a new one, so I would recommend to just ask around. That will be the best way to ensure that people are aware of correct order of things and why this may be important.

To capture who started a sprint going forward, you could consider writing an automation rule triggered by the Sprint Started event, sending an email with confirmation, as described in this related thread by Bill.

Hope this helps!
