# Plan work items into sprints in CWM

Schedule stories and other CWM tasks from the backlog into sprints or move work across sprints in Collaborative Work Management.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Collaborative Work Management**.

2.  From a Space, select a Board that you're performing sprint planning for.

3.  Select the Sprint planning tab.

4.  From the Backlog, select the work items that you'd like to schedule into a sprint.

5.  Drag and drop them into the sprint of your choice.

    You can drag and drop the work items into sprints even when the sprint sections are collapsed.

6.  To move the work items from one sprint to another, select them and drop them in the sprint of your choice.

    Here's a gif showing the drag and drop action between the backlog and sprint sections, and across sprints.\[Omitted image "cwm-schedule-items-into-sprints.gif"\] Alt text: Drag and drop work items from backlog to sprint and from one sprint to another.
