Can we start 2 sprints simultaneously with same product backlog in Azure DevOps?

Question

I need to start 2 sprints simultaneously with same product backlog in azure devops .Is that possible? Anyone Please help !

Answer 1

I am afraid Azure devops doesnot support this feature yet. Here is a similar new feature request that has been submitted to microsoft development team. You can vote it up or create a new user voice of your own.

You can create different teams as workaround currently. Then you can configure the area path and iteration path for each team. Please check below documents for more information.

Add a team

Define area paths and assign to a team

Define Iteration Paths and configure team iterations

After you have added different teams and configured their area path and interation path, Select the corresponding Area path/Iteration path for the workitems.

So now different teams can have sprints start simultaneously. You can use team selector within the breadcrumbs to switch between the sprints view.

Answer 2

I believe that you can’t do it unless you use two areas path, one for each team, both using the same iteration/sprint.
