[feature]: Create new cycle with the same period window as the last created one

[egutierrez-ar]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Summary

I would like the Add Cycle dialog to by default set the start date to be the next available date where a cycle can start. In general this would be the last available cycle.

Additionally, I would like the end date to be the same period of days / weeks / months as the period from the last available cycle.

This would help create large number of "sprints" for projects and organize things quickly for PMs

Why should this be worked on?

Jira already pre-fills sprints with a sequential name and time window of the last available sprint.

Hey @egutierrez-ar, thank you for your suggestion. Our team will brainstorm around it, and we will keep you updated on any progress made.

Thanks!

This is something I'm also interested in.

We've structured our sprint cycles with three teams in a sliding window manner, starting a new sprint each Wednesday, each lasting for three weeks. This setup, which Jira supports, allows us to maintain maximum of a one-week lead time for prioritizing our backlog (but results in multiple sprints running concurrently).

I was evaluating Plane as an alternative to Jira, but the lack of support for concurrent Cycle is currently a blocker for us.
