Introducing new swimlanes
 
User Swimlane: Lists all the work items based on particular users in the sprint. 
  • Track the users with maximum work items across each status. 
  • Track the work items tagged in the 'Unassigned' section and assign it to the users who are least engaged. 
  • Track user specific progress across different status on board.
  • Track and engage the users with minimum work items.


Epic Swimlane: Lists all the work items across the epics that are associated with the current sprint.  
  • Track the work items that are not associated with any of the epics. 
  • Track the progress of the epic by viewing the work items across different status. 
 
Note: User and epic swimlanes are available only in our premium and enterprise plan.
