Sprint Kanban board
Sprint Kanban is Routemap’s brand-new feature. With it, users can now seamlessly visualize and manage their Scrum board and product development sprints.
What is Sprint?
It is a time-boxed period in which a Scrum team works to complete a set amount of work. Sprints typically last from 1 to 4 weeks, with two weeks being a common duration.
What is Sprint Kanban?
Sprint Kanban is a hybrid approach combining the sprint element from the Scrum team with the principles of Kanban to manage and visualize work in progress.
In this feature, teams can use the Kanban board to visualize each product sprint in a column for all projects and manage their Jira tasks or issues in swimlanes.
Additionally, teams can seamlessly create sprints on the fly and assign (or create) issues from their Jira projects.
PLEASE NOTES
There are cases where you will find your current projects unavailable for Routemap’s Sprint Kanban even when your board already has projects included.
To resolve this issue, please refer to How to resolve the unavailable board in Sprint Kanban.
