# Sprints
Tracker can help you utilize the Scrum workflow approach. With this approach, your work is split into sprints, that is, development iterations of a certain duration. In the beginning of each iteration, the issues are evaluated and planned for the upcoming sprint.
{% note warning "" %}
Sprints are enabled by default on boards with a **backlog and sprints**. If you want to use sprints on a **Basic board**, [enable a backlog on it](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/manager/backlog.md#add-backlog).
{% endnote %}
## Planning a sprint {#planning}
#### Step 1. Evaluate the effort required to resolve the issues {#estimate}
Evaluate the effort for the backlog issues. The effort is measured in **Story Points** that determine the relative complexity of the project's issues. Each team decides internally how to define the effort needed to complete their issues. You can specify the estimated effort on the [issue page](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/edit-ticket.md#edit-fields) in the **Story Points** field.
Use [Planning Poker on the issue board](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/manager/poker.md) to assess the complexity of issues within your team.
#### Step 2. Create a new sprint {#create_sprint}
When you create a board, you'll see your first sprint is already set up in the **Backlog** tab. If you have not planned it yet, proceed to the next step. If your first sprint is already completed and you want to create a new one:
1. In the **Backlog** tab, click **+ Create sprint** to the right of the board.
1. Enter a name for the sprint, its duration, and start and end time. To start the sprint right away, leave the **Start sprint** option enabled.
1. Click **Create sprint**.
#### Step 3. Add issues to the sprint
There are several ways to add an issue to a sprint:
- On the **Backlog** tab, drag an issue from the **Backlog** column to the sprint's column.
- In the backlog or on the board, select the issue card, then click → **Add to sprint** and select the sprint you need.
- On the issue page, enter the board name or ID in the **Boards** field of the left panel and select a sprint in the **Sprint** field under **Agile**.
- To quickly add multiple issues, use [bulk edits](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/manager/agile-issues.md#bulk): click → **Select** in an issue card on the board, then click other issues you want to add to the sprint. Once you select all issues, click **Add to sprint** in the bottom panel of the board and select the one you need.
By default, you can't add issues to a completed sprint. To do this, first enable the sprint display. To learn more, see [View completed sprints](#show-finished).
## Editing a sprint {#sprint-edit}
To edit a sprint:
1. Open the **Backlog** tab. To the right of the sprint header, click → **Edit**.
1. In the window that opens, you can rename the sprint, change its duration and start and end time, as well as enable the **Start sprint** option.
1. To save your changes, click **Edit sprint**.
## Changing sprint status {#sprint-status}
When you've planned all your sprint issues and the start date arrives, click **Start** next to the sprint in the board's **Backlog** tab.
Once you complete your work on the sprint, click **Complete** next to it. If the sprint has any incomplete issues, you will be prompted to leave them in the current sprint, return them to the backlog, or move them to a new sprint that can be created immediately. As soon as all the issues are completed, the sprint will appear under **Finished sprints**.
## View completed sprints {#show-finished}
By default, completed sprints and their associated issues are hidden from the board. To view and manage completed sprints:
1. In the upper-right corner of the **Backlog** tab, click **Finished sprints**.
1. Hover over the sprint and click **Show**
The sprint will appear on the board next to active sprints.
1. To hide a completed sprint, click **Hide** next to its name.
