Sprint Changes

  1. The sprint commitment points now have 3 numbers (instead of 2).
  • Effort completed during the Sprint
  • Commitment at the start of the Sprint
  • Current points inside the Sprint (new). This number only
  1. Added Sprint Activity and Story Points & Business Value activity in the task history. Now you can see when the Sprint was started when story points were added to the task and when they were completed.
