# Overview

The Cycles feature, commonly known as Sprints in Agile methodologies, optimizes project planning by allowing you to set clear start and end dates. You can create new issues or add existing ones to your Cycles, and track progress through clear timelines and dynamic percentage completion indicators. This feature enables better monitoring of your team’s progress and performance toward your goals within defined periods.
