Manage release board | Zoho Sprints Help

Manage release board

The release board provides a hassle-free system to monitor all the work items of a release across sprints. Zoho Sprints comes with the ability to manage your release items in a single window easily. The enhanced options like export and advanced filter allows you to organize your data better and extract the data for further use or backup.


Example

Info
Let's assume you are releasing a version update for your software. The update has two releases that include critical issue fixes and new features. The new features release has five sprints with each sprint being a feature. Each sprint has multiple work items. You need to track the progress of work items in all the sprints associated with the new features release. The release board plays a vital role. It provides a column view of all the sprints with their work items aligned below. You can apply filters and view items based on a variety of predefined criteria or build your own criteria to view.

The critical issue fixes work items split across five sprints. When your sprints are in progress, you might have change of plans and need to move your work items to different sprints. You can easily achieve this using the drag-and-drop option on the release board. Simply move items across sprints.

Release board views

There're different views to the items listed on the release board. Click the View dropdown to access them.
  1. Plain view provides a simple view comprising only the item ID, item name, and assignee.
  2. Detail view offers a more comprehensive view displaying the item ID, item name, priority level, estimation points, tags, item status, assignee, and more actions.
  3. Subitem Expand View allows you to include the subitem details in the view.
  4. Sheet view enables you to view your release items on a spreadsheet. Learn more.
  5. The expand and collapse option allows each sprint to be hidden or shown.
  6. Stage settings is for creating custom stages for the releases. Learn more.
Show all sprints option enables you to view all the sprints in the project. Disable it to view only sprints that have associated release items.

Filter items on board

The advanced filter mechanism allows you to easily find what you're looking for. You can apply filters to the work items in the release. There are two types of filters: Quick and Custom filters. Quick filters are the in-built filters that are based on the various attributes of projects. Whereas, custom filters equip you with AND/OR conditions to create your own criteria pattern. You can save the filter criteria and reuse them to avoid the rework. Click here to learn all about filters.

  2. Select the required release. The release board will appear.
  3. Click the filter icon at the top.
  4. Select Quick or Custom filter.

  6. Apply the filter to view the epics or work items matching that filter criteria.
