Cycles

Time-boxed iterations for focused execution.

Cycles are time-boxed periods (like sprints) that help your team focus on a set of tasks.

Creating Cycles

  1. Navigate to Projects → Cycles
  2. Click New Cycle
  3. Set: name, start date, end date
  4. Add tasks from the backlog

Cycle Management

  • Active cycle — The current cycle in progress
  • Upcoming — Planned cycles not yet started
  • Completed — Past cycles with completion metrics

Metrics

Each cycle tracks:

  • Scope — Total tasks in the cycle
  • Completed — Tasks marked as Done
  • Burndown — Visual progress chart
  • Velocity — Story points completed per cycle (trends over time)

Moving Incomplete Tasks

When a cycle ends, incomplete tasks can be:

  • Moved to next cycle — Carry forward
  • Returned to backlog — Re-prioritize later
  • Cancelled — No longer needed
