Step-by-step guide

6 steps

  1. 1

    Define your sprint structure

    Decide on sprint length (1 or 2 weeks), sprint naming convention, team members involved, and the key metrics you track: story points completed, velocity, and carry-over rate.

  2. 2

    Describe the app to Appaca

    Tell Appaca: "Build a sprint planning tool with sprints (sprint number, start/end date, goal, capacity), backlog items (title, size in points, priority, type, assignee, status), a sprint board view, and a velocity chart showing story points completed per sprint."

  3. 3

    Build your backlog

    Enter all known tasks and features as backlog items with estimated story points and priority. A well-groomed backlog makes sprint planning sessions fast.

  4. 4

    Plan each sprint

    At sprint start, assign backlog items to the sprint based on team capacity. The sprint board tracks each item's progress through To Do → In Progress → Done.

  5. 5

    Hold daily standups with the board

    Use the sprint board as the anchor for daily standups. Team members update their task statuses before each standup, making the meeting fast and focused.

  6. 6

    Run sprint retrospectives

    At sprint end, log retrospective notes: what went well, what to improve, and action items for the next sprint. Track whether previous actions were completed.
