# Sprint > A sprint is a fixed period, usually one or two weeks, for which your team plans tasks from a board. In CIRO NOISE each sprint shows progress and a chart of how much is still open, and open tasks move to the sprint you choose when you complete it. - Page: https://www.ciro-noise.de/glossar/sprint - Deutsche Fassung: https://www.ciro-noise.de/glossar/sprint.md If you tackle everything at once every week, it's easy to lose track. A sprint gives you a frame: your team picks what it wants to finish within a fixed period and works through it. Afterwards you look at what got done and plan the next one. The term comes from agile software development. In CIRO NOISE, sprints belong to a board in the Tasks feature. Each sprint has a number, an optional name, a start and an end. CIRO NOISE suggests new sprints that fit: they start after the last sprint, no earlier than next Monday, and last as long as the previous one, or two weeks otherwise. ## How a sprint works in CIRO NOISE You estimate tasks in points, using 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 or 13, and drag them into the sprint in the planning view. Open tasks without a sprint are on the left, the sprint on the right. CIRO NOISE works out how much fits from the points your team completed in the last three finished sprints and shows whether there is room, a good fit or too much. While the sprint runs, a chart shows every day how many points are still open, next to the line your team would ideally follow. The board pulse adds pace and a forecast of whether a goal with a deadline is on track or at risk. ## Completing a sprint With “Complete sprint” you close it, even before the planned end. Open tasks move into the sprint you choose, and finished ones stay in the old sprint as its result. If you delete a sprint, the tasks remain; only their scheduling is removed. ## An everyday example On Monday at 9:00, Kira's team accepts the new tasks from triage, pulls the tasks for sprint 14 into the sprint, assigns owners and estimates the effort. The planning view shows 34 of 38 points, a good fit. On Wednesday of the second week the chart sits above the ideal line, and Kira sees on the board which task is stuck, without calling a status meeting. ## Frequently asked questions about Sprint ### What is a sprint in project planning? A sprint is a fixed period, often one or two weeks, for which a team plans and works through tasks. In CIRO NOISE every sprint belongs to a board and shows progress and open points. ### How long is a sprint in CIRO NOISE? You decide how long a sprint in CIRO NOISE lasts. The suggestion for the next sprint copies the length of the previous one, and two weeks the first time. ### What happens to open tasks at the end of a sprint? When you complete a sprint in CIRO NOISE, open tasks move into the sprint you choose. Finished tasks stay in the completed sprint as its result. ### How do I know how much fits into a sprint? CIRO NOISE derives a sprint's capacity from the points completed in the last three finished sprints. The planning view then shows whether there is room left or too much planned. ## Related terms - [Board](https://www.ciro-noise.de/en/glossary/board.md) - [Task](https://www.ciro-noise.de/en/glossary/task.md) - [Prefix](https://www.ciro-noise.de/en/glossary/prefix.md) See the feature: https://www.ciro-noise.de/en/features/boards.md ## CIRO NOISE at a glance - CIRO NOISE is a workspace for small businesses and teams of up to about 50 people: wiki, tasks, customer requests, finance with quotes and invoices, customers (CRM), meetings, knowledge with AI, social media, password vault, and time tracking behind one login. - Price: the first 2 seats are free, with every feature.
