Generate Sprints from Backlog | Smart Data Generator Documentation

Generate Sprints from Backlog documentation.

Overview

Generate Sprints is a backlog action that allows users to quickly create multiple Jira sprints using AI-generated suggestions or custom sprint names.

Instead of creating each sprint manually, users can generate a list of themed sprint names, review them, and create up to 50 sprints in a single action.

The Generate Sprints backlog action is available on all Jira boards that support sprints.

Generate Sprints is ideal for:

All created sprints are fully tracked in the Users Activity Stream and can be removed at any time.

Sprint Scheduling

Optionally, users can automatically schedule the generated sprints by specifying:

Every sprint uses the same duration.

The first sprint begins on the selected date and time. Each subsequent sprint starts 24 hours after the previous sprint ends, maintaining a one-day gap between consecutive sprints.

If scheduling information is not provided, sprints are created without predefined dates.
