# Assigning a Sprint to Your Team

> Assign a time-boxed track to an entire team at once.

## Overview

A sprint is a time-boxed team assignment: one track, one team, one due date. Use it when you want shared focus and a bit of friendly pressure - everyone sees the same missions and the same countdown. To give a single person extra practice instead, create a [1:1 coaching assignment](/external/coach/user-documentation/assigning-tracks).

## Before you start

* You need the **Coach** role and at least one team you manage - sprints are assigned per team, not per person.
* A published track must exist in your organization's [Course Library](/external/coach/user-documentation/course-library).

## Starting the sprint

Open **Coaching** in the sidebar and click **New sprint** (top-right while the **Team sprints** tab is active). A three-step wizard guides you:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose team">
    Pick the team from the dropdown. A sprint targets exactly one team; repeat
    the wizard to run the same track with another team.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a track">
    Sprints carry one track at a time. The **Already Certified** count shows how
    many team members have already earned this track's certificate, so you can
    spot content your team has outgrown before committing to it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name & schedule">
    Give the sprint a name your team will recognize in their to-dos, and pick
    the due date. JAM recommends a sprint duration of 1-2 weeks.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Click **Start sprint** - the sprint is live immediately, and every member of the team gets the track in their to-dos.

## Tracking the sprint

Your new sprint joins the **Team sprints** table, where each row shows the track, team, and how many learners are **Not started**, **Started**, and **Completed**, alongside the due date and status. Use the row's **Edit** action to change the sprint's name or due date, or **Cancel sprint** to withdraw it from the team.

## What happens next

* The sprint's track appears in every team member's [My To Dos](/external/coach/user-documentation/my-todos) with the sprint deadline.
* The sprint row on the **Team sprints** tab updates as members start and complete missions.
* Once the due date passes, the sprint counts as ended - extend it beforehand via **Edit** if the team needs more time (see [Setting Due Dates and Deadlines](/external/coach/user-documentation/setting-due-dates)).
* Detailed per-member progress lives in [your team's progress views](/external/coach/user-documentation/monitoring-team-progress).

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="A team member says they can't see the sprint">
    Check they're actually in the team the sprint targets - membership is
    managed on the [Teams](https://app.wejam.ai/teams) page. Members added to
    the team after the sprint started also receive it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I picked the wrong track">
    A sprint's track can't be swapped after it starts. Use **Cancel sprint** on
    the row and start a new one with the right track.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
