01
Shape the sprint together
Discuss the Product Goal, order backlog items, and choose a Sprint Goal. Bring stories, capacity, and dependencies into the planning conversation.
Take away: a goal, selected work, and a delivery plan.

- Plan with contextConnect stories to the goal
- Work togetherKeep questions beside the work
- Improve each sprintMake the next action visible
ONE GOAL, A SHARED PLAN
Scrum software for the conversations that move work forward
A list of tasks shows what is open. A visual Scrum workspace also shows why it matters, what is blocking it, and what the team should change next.
02
Adapt the plan as you learn
Use the Daily Scrum to inspect progress toward the goal. Keep blockers and the next action visible so Developers can coordinate their work.
Take away: a plan the team can act on today.
03
Review outcomes, improve the way you work
Inspect results with stakeholders in the Sprint Review. In the retrospective, choose a practical improvement to quality or team effectiveness.
Take away: product feedback and a specific improvement.
FROM A GOAL TO VISIBLE WORK
What belongs on an online Scrum board?
Keep the Sprint Goal above the work. Show selected backlog items, the delivery plan, and the impediments the team needs to resolve. Here is a checkout example you can adapt.
EXAMPLE SPRINT · CHECKOUT
Let returning customers check out without re-entering their address
Sprint Goal · Reduce repeated steps for returning customers while keeping address selection clear.
Selected work
Choose a saved address
Show saved addresses with a clear selected state.
Check: the chosen address appears in the order summary.
In progress
Confirm the delivery address
Connect the selection to the checkout summary and its tests.
Blocker: API response for a deleted address needs a decision.
Done
Show the default address
The default address displays for a returning customer.
Evidence: the slice meets the team's Definition of Done.
Use your team's own workflow columns. Item-specific acceptance checks add detail; they do not replace the shared Definition of Done. The Sprint Review is a feedback event, not a separate gate for releasing work.
START WITH THE RIGHT STRUCTURE
Choose a starting point for your Scrum workflow
Organize the backlog, map a user journey, or prepare the next team event. Each starting point supports a different conversation.

COLLABORATION WITH CONTEXT
Keep questions next to the work they affect
Build a shared workspace for Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and Developers. Add notes, diagrams, and links beside backlog items so decisions remain understandable after the conversation.
- Discuss on the board. Use comments to capture questions where teammates can see the relevant work.
- Facilitate focused sessions. Use a timer for activities and voting to gather preferences during a retrospective.
- Walk through the outcome. Organize frames and use presentation mode to guide a review of the board.
- Bring the right people in. Invite teammates and choose appropriate access for collaboration or viewing.
Keep issue IDs or links beside the visual plan if your team also uses an issue tracker. Agree where task status is maintained so the two records stay consistent.

SCRUM TOOL FAQ
Questions about using Boardmix for Scrum
What is an online Scrum tool?
An online Scrum tool gives a team a shared place to make its goal, backlog, delivery plan, and progress visible. Boardmix provides a collaborative canvas with notes, cards, diagrams, templates, and facilitation tools for those conversations.
What is the difference between a Scrum board and a Kanban board?
A Scrum board usually visualizes work selected for a Sprint Goal within a sprint. A Kanban board visualizes workflow and can support continuous delivery. Both can use status columns, but using columns alone does not determine the team's framework.
Can Boardmix replace our issue tracker?
Boardmix is useful for visual planning, collaboration, and team events. If your team needs development workflows or reporting maintained in an issue tracker, use the board alongside it and link to the relevant issues. Choose one place to maintain task status; do not assume an automatic synchronization.
How can remote Scrum teams use Boardmix?
Invite teammates to the board, add planning material and questions, and work together on stories, dependencies, and blockers. Comments keep discussion near the work, while frames, presentation mode, a timer, and voting can help structure team sessions.
What should we include on a Sprint Backlog board?
Include the Sprint Goal, the Product Backlog items selected for the sprint, and an actionable plan for delivering them. Add workflow columns, dependencies, and impediments where useful, and keep the team's Definition of Done accessible.
Who updates the Scrum board?
Developers adapt their Sprint Backlog as they learn more during the sprint. The Product Owner is accountable for effective Product Backlog management. The Scrum Master helps the team understand and use Scrum effectively; the board should support a self-managing team rather than become a manager's task-assignment sheet.
For Scrum's accountabilities, artifacts, and events, see the official Scrum Guide.
