  2. In the screen below, the "Start Sprint" button is active
  3. Keep the default Sprint name, so that all projects are in sync. Enter the Start Date as the first Monday of the sprint. JIRA will automatically determine the End Date.

  5. At this point, this the beginning of the sprint, every team member picks a Sprint Backlog item to work on by dragging the Sprint Backlog Item in the "In Progress" column.
