After we introduced Archived Sprints last week, the term "Active Sprints" became ambiguous. It represented both:
- sprints that aren't archived
- present and future sprints
Therefore we decided to come up with better and clearer names. The table below summarizes all changes we made:
| Sprint Group | Previous Name | New Name |
|---|---|---|
| Active (not archived) sprints | N/A | Active |
| Archived sprints | N/A | Archived |
| Sprints with: start date <= today <= end date | Active | Present |
| Sprints with: start date > today | Future | |
| Sprints with: end date < today | Completed | Past |
We also changed the task search language (''sprint:'' expression syntax) to match new sprint group names:
| Search Expression | Previous Syntax | New Syntax |
|---|---|---|
| Tasks in active sprints | N/A | sprint: active |
| Tasks in archived sprints | N/A | sprint: archived |
| Tasks in present sprints | sprint: current | sprint: present |
| Tasks in future sprints | N/A | sprint: future |
| Tasks in past sprints | N/A | sprint: past |
| Tasks in present and future sprints | sprint: active | sprint: present OR sprint: future |
Note, that "Current Sprint" tab still works as before - it shows the earliest sprint in the list of Present sprints.
