Create WM Sprint

Published on August 24, 2026 Agile Manager

Creating a WM Sprint

A WM Sprint is a short, timeboxed iteration (typically 1-2 weeks) where your team focuses on completing specific stories and tasks. Sprints break down your release into manageable work cycles and help your team stay organized and focused. Sprints are created within a release record.

👨‍😫 Create a New WM Sprint

Navigate to WM Releases
Click the WM Releases tab to view all releases.

Click on the specific release record where you want to create a sprint.

On the release detail page, scroll down to the related lists section and find the Sprints related list.
Click New Sprint

📌 Next Steps After Creating a Sprint

Once your sprint is created, you can:

Add User Stories: Create stories that will be completed in this sprint
Assign Tasks: Assign work to team members within the sprint
Create Test Cases: Add quality assurance tests for sprint deliverables
Track Progress: Monitor sprint burndown and velocity in the dashboard
Run Sprint Reviews: Conduct sprint planning and retrospective meetings

💫 Sprint Best Practices

Keep sprints consistent: Use the same duration (1 or 2 weeks) for all sprints to maintain predictability
Set realistic goals: Base sprint capacity on your team's historical velocity
Plan ahead: Prepare stories before the sprint starts to avoid delays
Daily standups: Keep your team aligned on progress and blockers
Review and retrospect: Gather feedback at the end of each sprint to continuously improve
