Issue stages inside a sprint

An issue can go through multiple stages inside a sprint. The different issue stages can be set up to meet the specific needs for managing software development.

Example

To manage its issues, a company chooses to set up 4 issue stages:

  • to do for issues that have just been added to a sprint;
  • DEV ongoing for issues that are being processed by the development team;
  • QUAL ongoing for issues that are being processed by the quality control team;
  • done for issues that have been processed.

Stages are set up from the Tools screen, in Help Desk setup > Sprint > Issue stages - sprint. The Result screen displays the list of all existing stages.
