Used JIRA for a long time and have moved to Visual Studio Team Services.
How do you close the existing sprint and start the next ..the dates ending does not automatically roll it forward to the next
We are using SCRUM

From the dashboard, hover the the gear/cog icon and click on Work. You then can manually close/delete sprints from there.
Choose the calendar icon to select the start date, and then the end date of the sprint. Choose Save and close.
Select team sprints and set the default iteration path. You define sprints for the project and then select them to be active for each team. You assign the default iteration to use when creating new work items. Open Project settings > Boards > Team Configuration > Iterations for a team.
TFS can be very confusing when it comes to sprint ends.
I have found that the best way to make it work is to ensure that you have several sprints configured, with the end date of one being followed the day after by the start date of the next.
If there is a gap between the sprint dates then the previous sprint stays 'current' up until the day on which the next sprint starts.
So something like this:
Sprint 1: 8th June - 21st June
Sprint 2: 22nd June - 5th July
Sprint 3: 6th July - 19th July
Note that there is no manual way to close a sprint. You have to do it with the dates.

I start a new iteration also automated via the start date. The old iteration remains marked as Current until the start date of the next iteration is reached.
The Items are moved manually from Iteration 1 to Iteration 2.
Further Iteration settings in VSTS can be found in the current VSTS design under
Note: Each iteration will have a backlog and board.
