How do I manage sprint content?
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand how to control the stories that go into a sprint. I have 2 basic questions. First, we have our group divided roughly in half, and we run 2 sprints at once ... is there any way to track those separately? And secondly, if I have started some tasks but it becomes apparent that they wont all get done in the current 2week sprint, how do I "drop" items out of the sprint? It seems like started tasks just "pile up". In our world, if something does not get done in a sprint (ie is dropped), it goes back on the backlog and can get reproritized and may not occur in the next sprint. But it seems like in Tracker they just automatically get dumped into the next sprint?? Am I not doing something correctly?

Inappropriate?Roger, there is only one velocity and one backlog per project, so if you want to have distinct velocities or backlogs for your two concurrent sprints, it would be most consistent with the tool to split those into two projects. Alternately, you could use labels to track each sprint independently but share a backlog and a velocity, whichever works better for your workflow.
All Started stories always stay in current, since by definition if you've started a story you are currently working on it. If you want to put a story aside, you need to Unstart the story. Open the full story details, click the story state pulldown, and change the story state to Unstarted. The story will no longer automatically stay in the Current iteration, and you may reprioritize it or move it back to the Icebox.
