Suggested ways of working

Sample JQLs

JQL query to get the defects created during a sprint: project = "Your Project Name" AND issuetype = Bug AND Sprint in openSprints()

JQL query to get the defects rejected during a sprint: project = "Your Project Name" AND issuetype = Bug AND Sprint in openSprints() AND status changed to Rejected
