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 cycle information in issue properties. During sprint planning, drag issues into the current cycle or use the property editor to assign them.

Unassign from a cycle

xpo update <id> --cycle ""
