Issues Worked on Since Yesterday Midnight

updated > startOfDay(-1d) AND timeSpent > 0 AND assignee = ofeodorov ORDER BY updatedDate ASC

My Open Issues in the Current Sprint for a Specific Project

project = FDIS AND assignee = currentUser() AND resolution = Unresolved AND sprint = "Sprint 8, 1/4" ORDER BY updated DESC

Issues Associated with a Certain Sprint

Unresolved:

project = "ABC" AND resolution = Unresolved AND sprint = 'Sprint 100 (SEP 16 - SEP 29)' ORDER BY priority DESC

Sprint Operations

List Sprints Available in for a Project

This list issues associated with the specified sprints.

sprint in closedSprints() AND project = "XYZ" 
sprint in openSprints() AND project = "XYZ"

Alternative: Diamond → Projects → Specific Project → Specific Board → Reports → Sprint Report → Dropdown List with Sprints

Change Sprint Name

Project → Backlog View → Edit Sprint name in there.

Clear Issues of Completed Sprint Information

TODO - apparently this is difficult, the sprint information gets "imprinted" in the issue as the sprint rolls. Maybe create a filter and then ... Bulk change all ... issues.

Effort Estimates per User per Sprint

Diamond → ... → Project and Board → Backlog → Drop-down the current sprint → ... at the right of the users' icons ("View summary of assigned work")

Issues per User per Sprint

assignee = currentUser() AND sprint in openSprints()
