Configure once, run forever

Configure sprint dates, duration, and automation from one panel in the Jira backlog. From that point, Sprint Autopilot runs the full sprint lifecycle automatically, board by board.

Auto-start and auto-close on schedule

Sprint Autopilot checks every 5 minutes. When a sprint's start time arrives with no active sprint, it starts automatically. When the end date passes, it closes and moves unresolved issues to the next sprint or backlog.

Full lifecycle, no manual steps

When a sprint closes:

  • A new sprint is created with the same duration
  • The name is incremented automatically
  • Creation runs only if no future sprint exists

Sprint 7 → Sprint 8 → Sprint 9, handled automatically.

Sprint Automation for Jira runs the whole sprint lifecycle for each board on its own schedule, so no one has to remember to start, close, or create sprints by hand.

▶️ Auto-start: Starts the next sprint the moment its start date and time arrive, when no sprint is active.

⏹️ Auto-close: Closes the active sprint as soon as its end date passes, no manual step.

Auto-create: Queues up to five future sprints ahead, so the team always has a runway.

🔁 Roll over unfinished work: Moves incomplete items to the next sprint or back to the backlog, your choice per board.

🗂️ All boards in one console: Enable, configure and audit every Scrum board from the Apps menu, or set up a single board from its backlog.

📜 Audit trail: Every automated action is logged per board and exports to CSV.

🔒 Respects your Jira permissions: Only users with the Manage Sprints permission can change a board's automation.

☁️ 100% Runs on Atlassian.
