Project Insight allows teams to view and create sprints directly from an individual project. The project-level Sprints view shows only sprints and tasks associated with that project, helping teams focus on work for one project without including tasks from other projects.
Best for: Project managers and team members who want to manage sprints for a specific project instead of using the main Sprints homepage.
How Do You Access Sprints From a Project?
To open sprints for a specific project:
- Open the project in Project Insight.
- Select Views.
- Select Sprints from the Views menu.
The project-level Sprints screen uses the same Kanban-style layout as the main Sprints homepage.
Sprints are organized into three columns:
- Not Active
- Active
- Closed
Project Insight does this by organizing each sprint according to its current stage in the sprint lifecycle.
What Should You Do if Sprints Is Missing From the Views Menu?
If Sprints does not appear in the project’s Views menu, first confirm that the Sprints add-on is installed.
You should also confirm that the Sprints view is enabled for projects.
- Open the Add-ons menu.
- Go to Projects and Tasks.
- Select Configure.
- Locate the available project views.
- Turn on the Sprints view.
- Return to the project.
- Open the Views menu and select Sprints.
How Do You Create a Sprint From a Project?
Every new sprint begins in the Not Active state.
To create one from the project level:
- Open the project.
- Go to Views.
- Select Sprints.
- Locate the Not Active column.
- Select the plus button.
- Enter the required sprint information.
- Save the sprint.
The new sprint will appear in the project’s Not Active column.

What Is Different About Project-Level Sprints?
A sprint created or viewed from a project only includes tasks from that individual project.
For example, when you open the Sprints view from Project A, the sprint backlog will not show tasks from Project B.
This is different from managing sprints from the main Sprints homepage, where a sprint may include tasks from more than one project.
Project Insight does this by filtering project-level sprint information to the project you currently have open.
Do Project-Level Sprints Use the Same Statuses?
Yes. Project-level sprints use the same three statuses as the main Sprints homepage:
What Does Not Active Mean?
The sprint has been created but has not started. Use this stage to add tasks and prepare the sprint.
What Does Active Mean?
The sprint is currently underway.
What Does Closed Mean?
The sprint has been completed and closed.
The project-level view changes which project’s tasks are available, but it does not change the sprint lifecycle.
What Are Common Project-Level Sprint Setup Mistakes?
The Sprints add-on is not installed
If Sprints is unavailable throughout Project Insight, check the Add-ons menu and confirm that the Sprints add-on is installed.
The Sprints view is not enabled
The add-on may be installed while the project-level Sprints view is still turned off. Go to Add-ons, select Projects and Tasks, and use Configure to enable it.
Looking for tasks from another project
Project-level sprints only display tasks associated with the project you opened. Use the main Sprints area when you need to manage sprint work across multiple projects.
Trying to create a sprint in the Active or Closed column
All new sprints begin in the Not Active column. Select the plus button in that column to create one.
When Should You Use the Project-Level Sprints View?
Use the project-level view when:
- The sprint contains work from one project.
- You are already working inside the project.
- You only want to review tasks associated with that project.
- You want to avoid seeing sprint work from unrelated projects.
Use the main Sprints homepage when you need broader access to sprints or want to create a sprint that includes tasks from multiple projects.
