01
Groom the backlog before sprint planning
Review backlog cards and estimate effort before pulling them into Sprint Scope. Cards without clear acceptance criteria stay in the backlog until refined.
// Sprint Board
Plan sprints, ship on time.

02
Lock the sprint scope
Once planning is done, the Sprint Scope column is the commitment. Avoid adding cards mid-sprint unless something is truly urgent. Scope creep kills velocity.
03
Move cards through Review before Done
Every card passes through Review before reaching Done. This is where code review, QA, or stakeholder sign-off happens. No card skips review.
04
Run a retro at sprint end
After each sprint, look at what shipped versus what was scoped. Archive the Done column, move unfinished cards back to Backlog, and start fresh.
01 How long should a sprint be?
+
Most teams run one- or two-week sprints. Shorter sprints give faster feedback loops but require more planning overhead. Start with two weeks and adjust based on your team cadence.
02 Can I combine kanban and sprints?
+
Yes, this template does exactly that. You get the visual flow of kanban with the time-boxed commitment of sprints. Cards flow through columns within a fixed sprint window.
03 How do I handle bugs during a sprint?
+
Critical bugs go directly into Sprint Scope and displace the lowest-priority scoped card. Non-critical bugs go to Backlog for the next sprint. Label them with Bug and Priority to track severity.
