Assigning Issues

During planning, assign issues to cycles so your team knows what to focus on this iteration.

Assign to a cycle

xpo add "New feature" --cycle current
xpo add "Next sprint" --cycle next
xpo update <id> --cycle current

Assign to a specific cycle by its start date:

xpo update <id> --cycle 2025-06-23

Filter by cycle

xpo list --cycle current
xpo list --cycle next
xpo list --cycle 2025-06-23

In the web board

The board shows each issue's cycle in its properties. Click it to move the issue to another cycle — the picker labels the current and upcoming cycles, and you can type to filter.
