Sprints

Create a Sprint

Steps:

1. Open the database
2. Click settings → More settings
3. Select Sprints
4. Click Turn on sprints

Closot automatically creates:

• A Sprint Board view showing items organized by sprint
• A Sprints database that tracks individual sprint records
• Built-in views: Current Sprint, Sprint Planning, and Backlog

---

Plan a Sprint

Use the Sprint Planning view to prepare your upcoming sprint:

• Review items sitting in the Backlog
• Drag unstarted or incomplete tasks from previous sprints or the backlog into the next sprint column
• Assign due dates, owners, and priorities before the sprint kicks off

The planning view is designed for team ceremonies — sprint planning meetings, backlog grooming sessions, or any sync where the team decides what goes into the next cycle.

Complete a Sprint

When a sprint ends, Closot helps you formally close it and carry forward anything that didn't get done.

Steps:

1. Open the Current Sprint view
2. Click Complete sprint
3. Confirm the date range for the next sprint
4. Choose what to do with incomplete tasks:
   • Move them to the next sprint automatically
   • Send them back to the Backlog
   • Keep them in the completed sprint for reference
5. Click to finalize
