For example, when holding a retrospective meeting or estimating your team\u2019s past performance for future planning. Sometimes, we need to look for the previous sprint just because it was accidentally closed and has to be restored.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Jira Software\u2019s interface can make it tricky to find this information. The good news is that it\u2019s not impossible. In this blog post, we will explore how to view previous sprints in Jira Cloud in two different ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>By filtering work items <\/strong>by Sprint from the Filters menu or the All Work tab<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Via the Reports tab<\/strong>, by adjusting the report to show a specific sprint<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s go through these methods step-by-step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 1. View Previous Sprints in Jira by Applying Filters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is the most straightforward and useful. By filtering work by the sprint field, you receive the most granular detail on the work items from your past sprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how to do this from the All Work tab:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list large-list\">\n<li>Open your project\u2019s board and locate the <strong>All Work<\/strong> tab in the horizontal menu bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There, click <strong>More filters<\/strong> and select <strong>Sprint<\/strong> from the list of additional filters. Some closed sprints may not appear in the auto-suggested sprints. To see everything that\u2019s available, click <strong>Show full list<\/strong> at the bottom of this menu. Then, you should see a complete list, including your closed sprints.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the sprint you want to view. After applying the filter, you will see the list of all work items in that sprint, along with their statuses and other details.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/titanapps.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/0.-View-Previous-Sprints-in-Jira-by-Applying-Filters-1024x629.png\" alt=\"0.

For example, from the Filters menu or the main search bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, go to <strong>Filters<\/strong> in the left pane menu and select <strong>Search work items<\/strong>. Switch the filters to <strong>Basic<\/strong>, click <strong>More Filters,<\/strong> and select <strong>Sprint<\/strong>. You will see the same sprint selection menu that is shown in the screenshot above. Alternatively, click the main search bar at the top of the page and select <strong>View all work items<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, using filters is the most convenient way to view previous sprints in Jira. It allows you to analyze your sprint data further:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Apply advanced filters using JQL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Search and group results<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Display them in different formats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Configure columns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bulk-edit work items<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, viewing your past sprints from Reports does not allow for data manipulation. It\u2019s displayed in a list that lacks any interactivity, and the only thing you can do there is open individual work item views. However, Reports provide visualization of your past sprints, which can also be valuable for certain use cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"banner-block\">\n  <div class=\"banner-block__info\">\n    <h5 class=\"banner-block__title\">Add checklists to your Jira tasks<\/h5>\n    <ul class=\"banner-list\">            <li class=\"banner-list__item\">Automate repetitive tasks<\/li>\n                      <li class=\"banner-list__item\">Check progress at a glance<\/li>\n                      <li class=\"banner-list__item\">Help your teams complete tasks<\/li>\n                      <li class=\"banner-list__item\">Ensure that the delivered work meets compliance standards<\/li>\n          <\/ul>    <a href=\"https:\/\/marketplace.atlassian.com\/apps\/1216451\/smart-checklist-for-jira-pro?utm_source=tablog&#038;utm_medium=template&#038;utm_content=blog_template_task_template\" target=\"\" class=\"banner-block__link btn btn-orange\" >Try for free <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"banner-block__image\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/titanapps.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Smart-Checklist_Jira-3.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"331\">\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2.

However, in general, it may not be something necessary for your team\u2019s workflow. If this is a new practice for the project, it could be confusing for other team members. Therefore, before adding a second concurrent sprint, ensure that you communicate this to the team members so they know what to work on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on exactly how you closed the sprint you want to reopen, there can be some unwanted outcomes. For example, if you opted to move all unfinished tasks to a new sprint and it\u2019s already active, then those tasks will remain in their new sprint.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude, the only hassle-free way to reopen a previous sprint in Jira is when you have just closed it and haven\u2019t started a new one. In this case, reopening the sprint will restore it to its exact previous state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know how to view previous sprints in Jira, get more useful tips from our project management tutorials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/titanapps.io\/blog\/agile-jira\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Implementing Agile in Jira<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/titanapps.io\/blog\/definition-of-done-in-jira\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manage the Definition of Done in Jira<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/titanapps.io\/blog\/jira-release-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Plan a Product Release<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/titanapps.io\/blog\/jira-sprints\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Create and Manage Jira Sprints<\/a>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/titanapps.io\/blog\/jira-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jira Best Practices<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"banner-block\">\n  <div class=\"banner-block__info\">\n    <h5 class=\"banner-block__title\">Add checklists to your Jira tasks<\/h5>\n    <ul class=\"banner-list\">            <li class=\"banner-list__item\">Automate repetitive tasks<\/li>\n                      <li class=\"banner-list__item\">Check progress at a glance<\/li>\n                      <li class=\"banner-list__item\">Help your teams complete tasks<\/li>\n                      <li class=\"banner-list__item\">Ensure that the delivered work meets compliance standards<\/li>\n          <\/ul>    <a href=\"https:\/\/marketplace.atlassian.com\/apps\/1216451\/smart-checklist-for-jira-pro?utm_source=tablog&#038;utm_medium=template&#038;utm_content=blog_template_task_template\" target=\"\" class=\"banner-block__link btn btn-orange\" >Try for free <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"banner-block__image\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/titanapps.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Smart-Checklist_Jira-3.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"331\">\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to View Previous Sprints in Jira: Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Reopen a Jira Sprint Closed by Mistake?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can reopen it from the Burndown Chart or Sprint Report page. Please note that if you already have a new sprint in progress, the previous sprint may be restored incorrectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can I View a Previous Sprint in Jira if I Don\u2019t Have a Burndown Report?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your project type and project settings, some reports may be unavailable. However, even if you don\u2019t have a Burndown report, youl should still be able to view previous sprints in Jira from the Burnup report and the All Work view.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the All Work View?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The All Work view is one of the tabs located on the horizontal menu bar above your Scrum board. If you&#8217;re looking to view previous sprints in Jira with just a few clicks, this is the place to go. The All Work view was formerly known as the Issue Navigator. It has retained its main features after the update, allowing you to apply advanced filtering and navigate through your work items, including those from previously closed Jira sprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to View Previous Sprints in Jira if I Don\u2019t Have Admin Rights?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, you don\u2019t need administrator rights to view past sprints. However, you may require the Manage Sprints permission to reopen a closed sprint. If you can\u2019t view previous sprints in Jira from the All Work view or the Burnup report, please contact your Jira instance administrator and check the project settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"writer\">\n  <div class=\"writer__image\">\n    <img alt='Olga Cheban' src='https:\/\/titanapps.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/olga-cheban_avatar-180x180.jpg' srcset='https:\/\/titanapps.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/olga-cheban_avatar-360x360.jpg 2x' class='avatar avatar-180 photo' height='180' width='180' \/>  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"writer-data\">\n    <span class=\"writer-data__label\">Article by<\/span>\n    <span class=\"writer-data__name\">\n      Olga Cheban    <\/span>\n    <div class=\"writer-data__bio\">\n      Content Writer at TitanApps.\r\n\r\nI love it when my writing helps people find smarter ways to manage their time.
