Tasks are assigned with non-zero remaining work.Capacity bars update with each of these activities: With capacity bars, you can quickly see who is over, at, or under capacity. Setting capacity for each team member working during a sprint causes the capacity bar for that individual to appear.įor more information, see Set capacity for the team and team members. And, conveniently, you can set holidays or shared days off taken by the entire team. With this tool, you set individual team member capacity and days off. Team capacity planning toolīy setting team capacity, the team knows exactly the total number of work hours or days the team has for each sprint. The sprint backlog contains a filtered subset of backlog items whose iteration path corresponds to the current sprint.

The three Agile tools that support this work include the sprint backlog, capacity planning, and capacity bars. Once you've defined iteration (sprint) paths and configured team iterations, you can start using the following tools to plan your sprint.Īt the start of each sprint, you'll want to plan the work that your team can commit to. They also get access to capacity planning tools and a taskboard for each sprint. From your backlog, you can map work to an iteration path using drag-and-drop, and then view that work in a separate sprint backlog.įor example, by selecting Sprints 1 through 6, the Fabrikam Fiber team gets access to six sprint backlogs. Sprints are defined for a project and then selected by teams. Sprint backlogs and Taskboards provide a filtered view of work items a team has assigned to a specific iteration path, or sprint. You can quickly assign work items to a sprint by dragging and dropping them from the product backlog to the sprint. (Optional) Add project-level Area Paths (Or, add an area path when you configure each team).Define project-level Iteration Paths and set dates.The general sequence of steps for implementing Scrum using Azure Boards is as follows: Configure teams and sprints In case you're not seeing the desired work items on your backlog or board, see Set up your backlogs and boards to configure them according to your preferences.
