Create Sprints

Any project created in ReleaseOwl can be associated with an external system like JIRA.

• Once a project in ReleaseOwl is integrated with an external system, you can sync the Sprints, User Stories, and Backlogs.

• You can also create Sprints, User Stories, and Backlogs directly in ReleaseOwl.

Note: The changes made in the external system get synced to ReleaseOwl, but the changes made in ReleaseOwl do not sync back to the external system.

Syncing Sprints

1. To sync the sprints from an external system like JIRA, click Sync Sprints.

1. Once the sync is completed, the sprints created in the external system will appear in the ReleaseOwl app.
