Create Two Sprints

[Wanda Gomes Antonio]

Is it possible to create two sprints in same project, simultaneously?

Short answer is not really.

You can create as many sprints as you want in a project, and you do not have to give them dates, however, Jira will assume you only want one to be Active at a time. The others will show up as placeholders where you can put tickets so you can plan ahead for production cadence.

If you go to Settings (the cog wheel in the upper right of the Jira window) and Select Products, you can change the setting in Jira Software to allow Parallel sprints for Company-managed projects. 

HOWEVER, I do not believe that this will allow you to have parallel active Sprints in the SAME project at once. I believe this was designed to allow different teams to have a different sprint cadence. 

If you want to run parallel sprints, your best bet is to enable parallel sprints, and then run two or more different projects that utilize the different sprints. 

If you clarify the use case you are trying to create, I can offer more specific advice.

Adding to this...

Sprints don't exist in Projects. Sprints are created in Boards. A board can reference issues in 1..n Projects (unless you are using a Team Managed project where the board can reference only the one Team Managed project).

With the Parallel Sprints option enable you can indeed have multiple sprints Active at the same time in a board. Because of that you can have multiple Active sprints for issues in a given project.

There is no direct relationship between Parallel Sprints, or Sprints in general, and Projects.

Note, for clarity, that a given issue can be in only one Active or Future sprint at a time. You can't have a given issue in two Active sprints at the same time.
