Tip #7 - Scrum settings

Tip #7 - Scrum settings



In Zoho Sprints, right after you create a project, by default you can start only one sprint at a time and once the sprint starts you will not be able to add or move work items to it. To overcome this limitation, we have introduced "Scrum Settings" to help you with two things:
  • Add new work items or move existing work items from the backlog to your active sprint on board.
  • Start multiple sprints at the same time. (You can start only 5 sprints in parallel).
Say, you run a big team and you've got multiple sprints to be delivered in a month, this setting will come in handy. By enabling it, you get to run sprints in parallel and accomplish them without any glitches. 



 Note: This feature is available in our paid plans for the admin level users.

        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

      • Tip #1- Why swimlanes?

        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. Similar to the pool, work items are grouped in different categories. Each category is referred as a lane and is displayed in horizontal format. Swimlanes are effective in categorizing the work items with respective to specific
