# Update iteration details in EAP

# Update iteration details in EAP {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated August 25, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Edit details of a PI or a Sprint to update details such as name, team capacity, committed points.

## Before you begin

[Create a Planning Interval or Sprint from EAP Backlog](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/gcjbyf4pcJX9EET2f5tz0Q "Create iterations of Planning Intervals (PI) and Sprints so that teams can start prioritizing and scheduling their work from the Backlog in Enterprise Agile Planning (EAP).").

Role required: sn_apw_advanced.eap_user or sn_apw_advanced.eap_scrum_master

## About this task

Only an EAP scrum master can change the Start date and End date of an iteration that follows a planning calendar entry. Users with the EAP user role can update the other iteration details, such as the name and the team capacity.

On an iteration that doesn't follow a planning calendar entry, an EAP user can also change the Start date and End date. For more information, see [Creating iterations for teams in EAP](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/T37_C7O_E8v0ZMalO6gIWQ "Create Planning Intervals (PIs) and Sprints directly from the Backlog by entering start and end dates, without setting up planning calendar entries first.").

When you change the start date or end date of an iteration, the change updates the underlying planning calendar entry. The iterations on all other teams that share that entry are updated too, which keeps iteration timelines
aligned across teams that plan together. Iterations that are complete or cancelled aren't updated.

Date changes must pass the same rules that apply on creation. For the full list, see [Creating iterations for teams in EAP](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/T37_C7O_E8v0ZMalO6gIWQ "Create Planning Intervals (PIs) and Sprints directly from the Backlog by entering start and end dates, without setting up planning calendar entries first.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to WorkspacesStrategic Planning WorkspaceEnterprise Agile Planning.
2. From the Agile structure section of the left navigation panel, choose your EAP team.
3. From the Backlog tab of an ART or an Agile Team, select the name of the iteration to open its details in the side panel.
4. From the side panel, edit details such as Name, Start date, End date, Capacity, Committed points and others.  
   The Start date and End date fields are editable only for an EAP scrum lead on an iteration that follows a planning calendar entry. On other iterations, an EAP user can also change these fields.

   The Spillover and New scope fields are read-only. They're calculated when you complete the iteration. For more information, see [Start or complete iterations in EAP](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Nu09BnEqpyN_6EFD8IBr8w "Start an iteration of a Sprint or PI so that your team can start working and tracking progress of work. After your team finishes the assigned work, mark this iteration as complete, directly from the Backlog in Enterprise Agile Planning.").

5. Save changes by selecting Save.  
   If the new dates conflict with existing iterations or the underlying calendar entry, the changes aren't saved and an error message identifies the conflict.
