Add and Manage Issues in a Sprint

From the Backlog view, you can drag-and-drop issues to add or remove them from a sprint.

When you add or remove issues from a sprint, keep a close eye on the sprint's capacity . If the sprint's total story points for issues exceed the sprint's story points capacity, you'll see a warning message. If this happens\, you can either increase the sprint's capacity or move some issues to another sprint.

Here's how to manage issues in a sprint:
