Sprints

Sprints are short periods on the Time Planning board. You assign tasks yourself in static mode, or FeatValue places them when sprints are automatic.

What it is for

Use sprints when work should land in time boxes. The board shows four sprints at a time so you can see what is planned now and next.

• Move tasks between sprints when planning is manual or static
• Compare planned, used and Difference on sprint lists
• Pin a task in a sprint when planning is automatic

Where to find it

Open Time Planning. If your projects use sprints, FeatValue shows the board. The individual sprints and their hours live under Sprints. When both sprints and waterfall exist, the menu can show Sprint Board.

How it works

1. Open the board

   Click Time Planning or Sprint Board. You see up to four sprints. Empty automatic boards can create the first four sprints for you. If none exist yet, use Create new sprint.

2. Assign tasks

   In Sprints (static), or when you chose Manually or via project management, drag a task to another sprint. You cannot move a task into a past sprint.

3. Fix or unfix on automatic sprints

   In Sprints (automatic) use the pin. Fix this task in the sprint keeps it there. Remove fixation lets replanning move it again. See Replanning.

4. Read planned and used hours

   Open a sprint from Sprints. The columns planned, used and Difference appear on clients, projects and tasks.

Options

Troubleshooting

You cannot drop a task on an older sprint

Tasks jump after you leave the board

Automatic planning can move unfixed tasks. Pin the task or turn on Exclude from planning.
