Reposting my question here as the question got closed out after it was migrated from the previous Microsoft Support Community.

There's still no way to hide a completed sprint from the Sprint board view in Planner.

Hello @C_A_COM,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Currently, Microsoft Planner does not include a built‑in option to hide completed sprints in the Sprint board to view the Planner interface does not currently provide filtering or visibility controls specifically for sprint containers.

While a direct “hide completed sprints” feature is not available, you might consider these alternatives:

Use task-level filters

You can filter tasks by progress (e.g., show only Not Started or In Progress) to reduce visual clutter on the board. This won’t hide the sprint itself, but it does minimize what’s visible within it.

Organize or consolidate completed work

In some organizations, completed tasks will be moved into a dedicated “Archive” or “Completed” bucket or sprint category to keep the active sprints cleaner. This is similar to how users currently handle buckets, which also cannot be hidden.

In case hiding completed sprints is an important fracture for your workflow, my recommendation is to submitting feedback directly through the Microsoft Planner Feedback Portal by following this article: How do I give feedback on Microsoft 365? - Microsoft Support.

If anything is unclear, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Hi Doris

Thanks for the suggestions, however, neither of those suggestions would work for us because option 1 won't hide the completed sprint, and option 2 would remove the ability for us to retrospectively analyse the work effort for past sprints.

I have submitted a suggestion through the feedback portal previously and have done so again, however, these suggestions just feel like they're being submitted into a black hole as there is no acknowledgement that the suggestion was received (I did provide my email address for contact) and there's nowhere where users can vote on feature requests like other tools.

Hello @C_A_COM,
I completely understand how frustrating it feels when feature requests appear to go unanswered. In the meantime, you can submit and view feedback here: Planner · Community.
While I can’t provide timelines or guarantees, I do believe the engineering team is aware of this limitation and will work toward improving experience in the future.

If you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Answer 2

Currently, Microsoft Planner does not provide a built-in feature to hide completed sprints from the Sprint board view. Users have expressed the need for this functionality, but as of now, there is no option available to filter or hide completed sprints directly within the Planner interface. You may need to manage visibility through other means, such as organizing tasks or using different views available in Planner.
