Sprints

Sprints are time-boxed iterations for organizing work in PUNT. The sprint planning view helps you manage your team's workflow across multiple sprints.

Sprint Lifecycle

Each sprint goes through three states:

Planning → Active → Completed

State	Description
Planning	Sprint is being prepared, tickets can be added/removed freely
Active	Sprint is in progress, only one sprint can be active at a time
Completed	Sprint has ended, metrics are recorded

2. Click + New Sprint
3. Enter sprint details:
   • Name: Auto-increments (Sprint 1, Sprint 2, etc.)
   • Goal: Optional sprint objective
