    To set up a new sprint for a team in Azure DevOps, use the project and team iteration settings, then activate that sprint for the team:

    1. Define the sprint at the project level if it does not already exist.
      • Go to Project Settings > Boards > Project configuration.
      • Create or edit the iteration path and set the sprint dates.
    2. Select that sprint for the team.
      • Go to Project settings > Boards > Team Configuration > Iterations for the team.
      • Add the iteration under Active sprints.
      • If needed, set the Backlog iteration and Default iteration for the team.
      • To assign new work items to the current sprint automatically, set Default iteration to @CurrentIteration.
    3. Open the sprint backlog.
      • Go to Boards > Sprints.
      • Select the correct team.
      • Open the sprint selector and choose the sprint.
      • If the sprint is not listed, select New Sprint > Select existing iteration.
    4. Verify work appears in the sprint.
      • Work items must have an Iteration Path that matches the selected sprint.
      • The Area Path must match one of the areas assigned to the team.
    5. If capacity planning is needed, open Boards > Sprints > Capacity for that team and sprint.

    The context does not provide supported shell or CLI commands for creating a sprint, so the supported setup path is through the Azure DevOps web interface.
