Tip #19 - Track performance of sprints without estimation points



Wondering how to track the performance of your sprints without using estimation points? Well, this post can help. In Zoho Sprints, the progress of your sprints is evaluated either based on the estimation points or the count of work items. 
  • Team's that setup estimation points for calculating the effort of the work items can track the progress using Estimation Points
  • Team's that do not use estimation points can track the progress using the Count of work items
We've an inbuilt 'View By'  option across all the charts to help you customize the reports view.

                                                            Continuing from our Tip #2 on leading to a sprint, let's see how to manage the work items on the Scrum board.  Once you start the sprint your work items are automatically displayed on the Scrum board where you will actually manage the work items. It is a snapshot of the backlog items identified for the current sprint.    The layout of the Scrum board Simply put, the scrum board is just like a physical board with sticky notes on which the work items of the active sprint are displayed.  The scrum board

                                                            Lanes define a clear path to reach your destination. In Agile, swimlane is one such concept that sets a simple and clear process of the work that you do.   The concept of swimlane can be related to the pool, where the swimmers gather in their respective lanes to start off.
