Active sprint - how to avoid new issues?

[codelab expert]

How can I avoid that issues are planned in an active sprint?

[Peter Van de Voorde · Accepted solution]

Hi Mathias,

If you remove everybody except yourself from the Schedule Issues Permission in your permission scheme nobody will be able to add issues to a sprint (active or not).

That might be a solution.

More information about the JIRA Agile permissions can be found here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AGILE/JIRA+Agile+-+JIRA+Configuration#JIRAAgile-JIRAConfiguration-Permissions

Another solution would be to simply monitor your sprint and look at who's adding issues to the sprint and explain to this person why it's a bad idea to add stuff to a sprint.

Best regards,

Peter

Is it possible to create an event hook or something else? so I could do some action when an issue is added after sprint started.

Hi,

I don't think this is possible now since Scope Change is allowed and there seems to be no way to configure it.
