Is it possible to close/start sprint automatically in JIRA

[Ashwini Gunjal]

I want to know if there is any built-in feature or add-on or any other way to start/close sprint in JIRA automatically without doing it manually on the last and first day of sprint respectively

Hi,

There is no built feature for this but you can vote for this request

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-20563

You can also try to find an addon in the marketplace like this one

There isn't an out-of-the-box solution. We created Sprint automation for Jira to support our clients, and it has had very good adoption since we made it public on the Atlassian marketplace.

Hi @Ashwini Gunjal

you can use 3 party software for start sprints. I don't know how "sprint-automation-for-jira but I'm using "scriptrunner" and I'm creating sprints automatically.

But, for closing sprints I'm not sure if it's a good idea...remember that, when you are closing the sprint, the system requests you what do with "still open" issues...

Best regards!

I'm quite sure you can do this with a CRON job that runs a script through ScriptRunner. It doesn't sound complicate to write a script for this.
