Agile SprintsAdd a task representing an Agile Sprint to the Gantt chart.

Fields which will synchronize:

      • Sprint start date
      • Sprint completion date
Agile Backlog

If you want to structure your task automatically make sure that the correct structure builders are enabled and required task types selected.

For example, to create a simple structure based on Projects - select the Project task type in the Automatic rules section and enable the Project structure builder.


Go to Program Box configuration - Task - Task structure.
