Task Board

Scrum is a widely used Agile framework for completing the complex projects. Originally invented for software development teams, it is now successfully applied for any innovative scope of work and any business industry. The Task board is an integral part and the most popular tool of the Scrum method. It is a simple, but powerful tool that is usually represented as a table consisting of rows and columns. The Task board contains the columns To Do, Work In Process, To Verify, Done and the set of tasks, each task starts at the To Do column. So, each team participant can see at a glance on a Task board which tasks are currently in work and which are already completed. The Task board reflects the current status of the project and moreover lets detect the problem situations, and then take promptly the needed measures. ConceptDraw MINDMAP software offers the powerful tools to depict the Task board in a form of Mind Map, to visualize Agile management methodologies Scrum and Kanban, and their hybrid Scrum-ban.

There are two types of backlogs: Product backlog and Sprint backlog. The Product backlog includes a list of all works on the project, the business requirements and technical system requirements. The Product backlog is constantly revised and updated by the product owner, it includes the new requirements, the unnecessary are removed and priorities are revised. The Sprint backlog is a list of works, the functionality, that is determined by the team and is agreed with the product owner, on the next reporting period (sprint). The tasks at the Sprint backlog are selected by the product owner from the Product backlog and will be implemented during the next sprint to achieve the sprint goal. The Sprint backlog helps the team to assess the progress every day, as well as the amount of work that still to be done to complete the tasks. The Mind Map representing the Sprint backlog was designed in ConceptDraw MINDMAP software and can be used as a convenient template. The ConceptDraw MINDMAP functionality gives you the flexibility in choosing the MInd Map style, in adding notes, hyperlinks, pictures, etc.
