In an agile environment, tasks are often assigned to a specific sprint, rather than specific dates. With the Use Sprints for Manual Scheduling option enabled, tasks can be scheduled to begin and end based on sprint dates. You can also move a task to a different sprint directly from your Gantt chart.
If a task has more than one sprint assigned to it, Structure.Gantt will use the most recent sprint (based on actual and/or anticipated sprint end dates) for scheduling and visualization.

Visualizing Sprints
Sprints are represented in the chart header as follows:

Future sprint dates can be taken directly from Jira, or you can configure custom dates in the Sprint configuration settings.

Issues that are not assigned to a sprint are placed in the Backlog panel.
To assign these to a sprint, simply drag the task bar to the appropriate location on the chart or click the task bar and edit the sprint field in the Task Details Panel.

- If the Prefer sprints over manual start and finish dates is selected in your Gantt configuration, the task will be scheduled based on the sprint
- If this is not selected, the task will be scheduled based on the Start/Finish date
If the task is moved to the Backlog panel /wiki/spaces/gantt/pages/3669592341, its Start/Finish dates will be removed
...
Parallel sprints with the same start and end dates are represented on the timeline as a single bar showing the total amount of parallel sprints. When dragging a task from a board with parallel sprints, Structure.Gantt will always check which sprint you want to reassign the task to.
When the start/end dates for parallel sprints are not the same, Structure.Gantt will show them in different rows (up to a maximum of 5).
