Agile JQL functions

JQL functions are accessible from the Extended Search page or via Extended Search filters in Jira advanced search. When using functions, the issues returned are based on the subquery defined in parentheses.

nextSprint()

Find issues that are planned for the next sprint. Pass a Jira board name or board ID as an argument.

issue in nextSprint("ACME board")

issue in nextSprint(10)

previousSprint()

Find issues that were part of a previous sprint. Pass a Jira board name or board ID as an argument.

issue in previousSprint("ACME board")

issue in previousSprint(10)

addedToSprintAfterStart()

Find issues that were added to the sprint after the sprint was started. Handy to identify a scope creep in the sprint. Pass a Jira board name or board ID as a first argument. Optionally, pass a sprint name or sprint ID as a second argument. By default, the active sprint is used in the search.

issue in addedToSprintAfterStart("ACME board") issues added after the current sprint was started

issue in addedToSprintAfterStart("ACME board", "ACME Sprint 5") issues added after sprint 5 was started

issue in addedToSprintAfterStart(10, 55) you can also use board and sprint IDs
