What defines the next sprint

[Yatish Madhav]

Hi

What defines which sprint is the next one after the current active sprint?

I.e. is it the start date of the sprint or the order in which it is set on the backlog view?

Asking as we have some issues that create and automatically are set in the next sprint but I have not been able to determine what 'metric' or field or part of the UI states that sprint X is infact the next sprint.

Thank you in advance

Hi Yatish,

Hi @Yatish Madhav ,

next sprint should be the sprint after the cureent one based on the sprints order in the backlog view. No check on sprint start date should be performed.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Thanks @Brian Trepto  and @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_  - so is the actual next sprint defined by the actual displayed order in the Backlog view?

See the link @Brian Trepto gave us, the accepted answer is the current state.
