Sprint guide
How to run sprints in Zyvia.
Create a sprint from the Sprints area, set dates, and add tasks. Use the agent to plan sprints from chat—it can suggest scope and workload. Track progress with burndown and status; apply changes from the action dock when the agent queues updates.
Sprints tie to projects and teams, so you can see who's committed to what. When a sprint ends, close it and start the next; velocity and history stay in one place.
Step-by-step
Create a sprint
Go to the Sprints area and create a new sprint. Set start and end dates. Optionally tie it to a project or team so work is grouped and visible in the right place.
Add tasks
Add tasks from backlogs or create new ones. Assign owners and set estimates if you use them. The sprint view shows committed scope so the team can align before the sprint starts.
Use the agent to plan
In chat, ask the agent to plan a sprint. It can suggest scope based on workload, balance capacity, and queue changes for you to apply from the action dock. You stay in control while moving fast.
Track and close
During the sprint, move tasks through statuses and track burndown. When the sprint ends, close it and start the next. Velocity and history stay in one place for future planning.
Frequently asked questions
Can I plan a sprint from chat?
Yes. The agent can analyze workload, suggest scope, and queue sprint updates. You apply changes from the action dock so nothing is created or updated without your approval.
How do sprints relate to projects and teams?
Sprints can be tied to projects and teams. That way you see who's committed to what, and you can filter and report by project or team. Each team can run its own sprints.
What happens when a sprint ends?
You close the sprint. Completed work stays in history; incomplete tasks can be moved to the next sprint or back to the backlog. Velocity is tracked so you can plan the next sprint with data.
