Global Administration | Sprint Organizer Documentation
Global Administration documentation.
Overview
The Global Administration section provides centralized tools for managing, monitoring, and auditing sprint activity across your entire Jira instance.
Unlike Jira's native sprint management, which is typically limited to individual boards, Sprint Organizer aggregates sprint information from multiple projects and Scrum boards into a single administration interface. This allows administrators and Agile leaders to monitor sprint activity, investigate changes, maintain historical records, and quickly locate sprint information without switching between boards.
Global Administration is designed for organizations that manage multiple teams, projects, or Agile boards and require better operational visibility over their sprint landscape.
The available pages work together to provide both high-level monitoring and detailed investigation capabilities while fully respecting Jira's permission model.
Available Pages
📊 Dashboard
The Dashboard provides a real-time overview of sprint activity across the Jira instance.
It includes:
- sprint distribution by state,
- recently created, started, and completed sprints,
- key sprint statistics,
- operational indicators that help identify unusual sprint activity.
The Dashboard is intended as the primary monitoring page for administrators and Agile managers.
đź“‹ Sprints
The Sprints page provides a complete, searchable catalog of every accessible sprint.
Administrators can:
- browse sprint information,
- search and filter across projects and boards,
- review sprint properties,
- customize visible columns,
- quickly navigate to sprint issues, reports, or audit history.
This page serves as the primary workspace for sprint exploration and management.
📜 Sprint Audit Log
The Sprint Audit Log records sprint lifecycle events and configuration changes.
It allows administrators to answer questions such as:
- Who renamed this sprint?
- When was the sprint started?
- Who deleted the sprint?
- What properties changed?
Each entry includes timestamps, user information (when available), event type, and detailed change information.
đź”’ Permissions
Sprint Organizer fully relies on Jira's native permission model.
The Permissions page explains how sprint visibility is determined and how Global Administration pages respect project, board, and issue-level permissions.
Users only see sprint information they are already authorized to access within Jira.
🗑️ Deleted Sprint Tracking
Deleted Sprint Tracking preserves metadata for sprints removed from Jira after Sprint Organizer has been installed.
This feature allows administrators to:
- identify deleted sprints,
- review deletion history,
- investigate unexpected removals,
- include deleted sprints in historical analysis.
Deleted sprint metadata is available throughout the application where applicable.
Designed for Jira Administrators
Global Administration pages are particularly valuable for:
- Jira Administrators
- Scrum Masters
- Agile Coaches
- PMOs
- Platform Teams
- Enterprise Jira Administrators
Instead of navigating dozens of Scrum boards individually, administrators can investigate sprint activity from one centralized location.
Data Synchronization
All Global Administration pages display synchronized sprint information.
Sprint Organizer periodically synchronizes sprint metadata, updates dashboard statistics, refreshes sprint reporting fields, and records audit events in the background.
Because synchronization is asynchronous, recently modified sprint information may take a few minutes to appear throughout the application.
See Asynchronous Synchronization for details about synchronization intervals and update behavior.
Security
Global Administration does not bypass Jira security.
Although the pages aggregate information from multiple projects and boards, Sprint Organizer only displays data for resources the current user is permitted to access.
Every page—including Dashboard, Sprints, Audit Log, and Deleted Sprint Tracking—fully respects Jira permissions.
