Sprint planning template

A free sprint planning board for agile teams. Pull stories from the backlog into the sprint, estimate them with story points, keep work in progress small with column limits and see at a glance what is blocked. Each card can carry a checklist of acceptance criteria, so the team agrees on what done means before work starts.

Who it's for

Product and engineering teams running one- or two-week sprints, and anyone who wants Scrum without heavy tooling.
