Set up a sprint board

A sprint board is the kanban view of one sprint in a room set to Sprints. This page takes you from an ordinary room to a running sprint. Room Owners and Editors can do every step.

How to set the room to Sprints​

  1. Open the room and select Room settings › Tasks.
  2. Under How this room works, choose Sprints.

Choosing Sprints makes the room a project room. Nothing is deleted — every task and board stays. To create a new project from scratch, see Project rooms.

How to create your first sprint​

  1. Select Sprints in the room's dock to open the Boards hub.
  2. Select New sprint.
  3. Enter a name, choose the sprint duration (for example 2 Weeks), and set the Start date and Start time.
  4. Select Create sprint.

How to fill the sprint from the backlog​

  1. In the Boards hub, select the sprint and select Open.
  2. Select Show backlog.
  3. Drag tasks from the backlog onto the board. You can also choose Move to sprint in a task's options.
  4. Give each task Story points from its options.

If the sprint is set to Warn for work added after it starts, you are asked to confirm before a task joins a running sprint.

How to work the board​

  1. Drag a card to the next column to change its status.
  2. Select a card to open the task, add subtasks, files or a note, or run it with the agent. See Task details.
  3. When the sprint is done, open its options (⋯) and select Complete sprint. See Sprints.
