> The only thing I couldn’t sort out to make it habitable: I really wanted to disable the “sprint” concept and have a single board without gymnastics. I don’t know if that’s just baked in or something the company configured.
FWIW: We have sprints in JIRA at work -- but at my previous job we didn't. I doubt they've been added to the product in the couple of years since I left my previous employment, so I'll guess it was configured not to use sprints there, and still could be now.
We must have missed each other on passing trains. My experience was that sprints are not just built in but required. I set up my last project with a catch all “active” sprint that never ends, and a catch-all “later” sprint that also doesn’t end for stuff that’s not being actively worked on or considered.
Hm... Maybe that's what we had at my old job too, then. Perhaps someone had set all that up before the rest of us in the team ever got to see it, so we never noticed.
Has the "Sprint" link always been on the bottom of the rightmost column?
