Run an agile project
An agile project adds a board, an overview, cycles and an activity grid to a project. Pick Kanban, Scrum or Scrumban when you create it.
An agile project is a project of the type Agile. It suits work that flows through stages and is planned in short stretches: a product, a website, a course you build in pieces. It is the same kind of project as any other, with more views. In agile projects Prior also calls tasks "issues" in a few labels, such as New issue. They are the same tasks you see everywhere else.
An agile project can be Kanban, Scrum or Scrumban. Kanban is free. Scrum and Scrumban need Pro: see Choose Kanban, Scrum or Scrumban.
Create one
- Go to Projects and choose New project.
- Type a name, then open More options.
- Under Project type, choose Agile · Kanban, Agile · Scrum or Agile · Scrumban.
- Choose Create project.
To turn an existing project into an agile one, or the reverse, open Edit project and change Project type. Your tasks are kept.
The tabs
| Tab | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Board | Columns Backlog, Todo, In progress, Waiting and Done. Drag a card to another column, or open its menu and choose Move to. |
| Issues | The same tasks as a list, with a search box and filters. On a phone this tab comes first. |
| Overview | The brief, status, health, start and target dates, progress, people and milestones. |
| Notes | The project's notes: shared live with the team, or kept for yourself. See Project notes. |
| Cycles or Sprints | Planned stretches of work. Shown once the project has one, or from Add a view. See Plan cycles and sprints. |
| Planning Poker | Estimate stories together. Scrum and Scrumban only. |
| Activity | Tasks completed or created per day. See See a project's activity. |
A Budget tab also shows once the project has a budget line, or from Add a view. See Project budget.
What cards show
A card carries its title, its priority (or its size in story points), a Blocked mark when it waits on another task, the progress of its sub-tasks such as 2/5, its milestone, its parent task and its assignee. Inside the task you can set a parent, "blocked by" tasks and a milestone; see Sub-tasks and dependencies.
Milestones group tasks toward a checkpoint. Create one from Overview with New milestone: a name, a target date and the tasks it holds. See Milestones.
Work with a team
Agile projects are built to be shared. Once other people are in, the board offers an assignee on each card, Mine and Unassigned filters, comments on every task and the Activity grid. See Share a project and Assign tasks to people.
In the header, a status menu (Planned, Active, Paused, Completed) tells the team where the project stands. Health (On track, At risk, Off track) is set in Edit project.
