Will Not Implement status will not allow Sprint to close

[Jeff Murray]

Hello -

The Will Not Implement status is not allowing us to close the sprint. We currently have to change the status to Done to close the sprint.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hello @Jeff Murray 

A status does not block the closure of a sprint. The status just determines if the issue was considered completed in the sprint or not completed.

Only issues in the statuses mapped to the column farthest to the right on your scrum board will be considered "completed" issues. Issues in statuses in any other column will be considered "incomplete".

So, if you map the "Will Not Implement" status to the farthest right column, then those issues will also be considered "completed" when you close the sprint.
