What is a scrum backlog template?

Improved organization

The scrum backlog template in Jira Software provides agile teams with a systematic and reusable approach for organizing the overall project and the focused work in each sprint. It helps capture all necessary features and supporting information, such as user stories and requirements, in a consistent, structured, and centralized manner.

Prioritized list of tasks

Prioritizing and estimating tasks is simple with the Scrum backlog template. Agile teams can quickly move high-priority tasks to the top, identify dependencies, and spot potential roadblocks. Reprioritization is simple, and dependencies automatically move to provide a clear picture of the work.

Productbacklog

The scrum product backlog template includes all the work for a project, including product backlogs and sprints. Projects often have multiple product backlogs for different focus areas, such as new features, user experience, or product optimization. Teams identify and prioritize tasks within each product backlog. The work begins once they incorporate them into Scrum sprints.

Teams can include relevant information, such as specifications, user stories, and value. Prioritize items on the product backlogs based on business value and project goals. This allows teams to achieve greater efficiency when creating the sprint backlog, also known as an iteration.

Sprintbacklog

Sprints are focused sets of tasks that deliver an incremental result. Many teams also identify sprints with milestones. The scrum sprint backlog template includes sprint planning.

De sprintbacklog is een subset van de productbacklog en bestaat uit taken waar teams aan werken of van plan zijn binnenkort aan te werken. Door de sprint op te splitsen in kleinere taken, kunnen teams de sprint sneller voltooien en mogelijke blockers identificeren.

Tijdlijnweergave

Een tijdlijnweergave helpt teams en belanghebbenden op de hoogte te blijven van de voortgang van aankomende deadlines en gerelateerde taken. Door epics toe te voegen en werkitems in kaart te brengen, krijg je een duidelijk inzicht in de afhankelijkheden en hoe de taken bij elkaar passen. Een gecentraliseerde, interactieve weergave maakt het makkelijker om conflicten, dubbele taken, beperkte middelen en andere mogelijke obstakels te zien.

Scrumborden

Scrum boards transform tasks into manageable visual representations of the entire project. A visual presentation helps Agile teams recognize large, complex depictions of work and break them down into smaller, more manageable tasks. This helps eliminate surprises, keeps the team focused on the sprint, and ultimately ship faster.

How to get started with the scrum backlog template

Define user stories
  

For Agile teams, defining user stories helps team members understand what they are building and why. User stories state what the feature provides from the user’s perspective. For example, a payroll clerk must be able to schedule automatic, direct deposits to employee bank accounts on a specific day of the month.

Grouping user stories into end-user functionality can help teams identify key tasks and create milestones. These landmarks align with overall project goals, such as payroll transfer scheduling. They include all tasks and user stories within that goal. Identifying milestones helps teams define the requirements for the goal.

Prioritize user stories in the product backlog
  

Some user stories may have a higher priority for the user and the business. Others may simply be nice to have. Prioritizing user stories focuses teams on the highest-value tasks. Achieve this through project collaboration. Different team members bring unique perspectives on complexities or hidden dependencies. Priorities can change, and the team should continuously refine the backlog to reflect that.

Break down user stories into tasks
  

Understanding user stories helps identify all the tasks teams must complete to achieve the overall goal. Breaking down stories into smaller, manageable tasks allows teams to see gaps, missing requirements, and roadblocks. This improves timeline estimation.

Estimate effort for each task
  

After breaking the stories into required tasks, review the tasks for complexity. For an accurate time estimation, review the task and its requirements again.

Agile teams often use estimation techniques like story points, where all team members weigh in on the work based on their experience. Another approach is employing time-based estimates, where the team identifies the completion date and then works backward to estimate the tasks. This approach can be a good exercise for agreeing on high-priority tasks and goals.

Create the sprint backlog
  

To create the sprint backlog—the work comprising the product feature or release—select the prioritized tasks from the product backlog. Assign resources based on expertise and capacity. Look for conflicts, such as an overburdened team member.

Establish a realistic sprint goal that aligns with the project objectives. The foundation for the goal comes from work the team has already done in prioritizing user stories and estimating tasks.

Beoordeel en werk regelmatig bij
  

Conducting regular backlog refinement and sprint reviews throughout the project life cycle helps teams adjust to changing priorities or new requirements. The backlog will change with additional feedback and new insights.

Highly collaborative environments empower team members to raise issues and offer suggestions. Valued input makes changes to the goals and the backlog more easily understood and accepted.
