What to do with a greyed out “Create sprint” button<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Jira by Atlassian is the perfect software to support you to configure your Scrum process effectively. Thereby, it is important that the Scrum Master<\/span> has the ability to create sprints for all needed projects to structure the process effectively. This happens in Jira through the button “Create sprint”.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it can happen that this button is greyed out and the note “You need the permission manage sprints for all projects” appears. Because of this problem, the Scrum Master can not create sprints. Since this issue caused difficulties for many companies, we will provide you a smart and easy solution through this article.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][heading title=”The problem” heading=”h2″ font_weight=”” el_id=”1624615305489-fb4e33fd-c4dd”][vc_column_text]The Scrum Master wants to create a sprint. Though, the button for the sprint creation is greyed out and the note “You need the permission manage sprints for all projects” appears. Because of that, the Scrum Master can not create the needed sprint.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4757″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][heading title=”The solution” heading=”h2″ font_weight=”” el_id=”1624615392176-f69d9044-7c37″][heading title=”Step 1: Examination of the permissions of the Scrum Master” heading=”h3″ font_weight=”” el_id=”1624615460416-80bda856-9bd4″][vc_column_text]To solve this problem, it is important to check if you have the permiss<\/span>ions <\/span>“Manage sprints” and “Plan Sprint”. To check this, you have to go to permission scheme.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4759″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Check here if checkmarks<\/span> are set for the permissions “Manage sprints” and “Plan sprints<\/span>“.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4761″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]If not: Add the checkmarks and check if the “Manage sprints” button<\/span> works now.<\/p>\n

If not: Continue <\/span>with step 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the checkmarks are set<\/span>, but the problem still exists: Go on with step 2.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][heading title=”Step 2 : Creation of the right filter” heading=”h3″ font_weight=”” el_id=”1624615865725-103a4320-b3ef”][vc_column_text]If you can’t use the button but have the permission to create sprints in reality, follow the next instructions:<\/p>\n

The underlying problem is often caused by an incorrect filter on the JQL board, which<\/span> is created automatically. Often times, this filter includes not all of the permissions that are needed to enable the Scrum Master to create sprints.<\/p>\n

The filter should either add all permissions that should be included through the function “in” or should take all permissions out that should be excluded through the function “not in”.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the allocation of permissions to create the filter effectively:<\/p>\n

If more permissions should be included than excluded:<\/strong> Use the function “in”<\/strong> and fill in all permissions that should be included.<\/u><\/p>\n

If more permissions should be excluded than included:<\/strong> Use the function “not in”<\/strong> and fill in all permissions that should be excluded.<\/u>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][heading title=”Use the function “in“:” heading=”h4″ font_weight=”” el_id=”1624616027345-6e3ccf41-a249″][vc_single_image image=”4767″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”no_shadow”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][heading title=”Use the permission “not in“:” heading=”h4″ font_weight=”” el_id=”1624616096008-54135db6-eb3a”][vc_single_image image=”4769″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”no_shadow”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It is important here to ensure, that all needed permissions are included in the filter. Already one missing permission can prevent the Scrum Master from creating sprints.<\/p>\n

Create the filter in the described way and use it. Afterward<\/span>s, the problem should be solved, and the button should be usable.<\/p>\n
