Use Sprint Points

Sprint points are used in Agile methodology to estimate the amount of effort it will take to complete an item in your backlog. Sprint points are also called story points.

Use our Sprint Points ClickApp to add points to any task. You can also track points from subtasks and assign separate points to each assignee!

Use Sprint Points with the Sprints ClickApp or for resource management in Timeline view. This lets you track individual capacity for quick task delegation.

What you'll need

Enable the Sprint Points ClickApp

To enable Sprint Points for your Workspace:

  2. Select ClickApps.
  3. Enable Sprint Points.
  4. From the Sprint Points modal, click Point Values and edit, delete, or add a new set of numbers.
  5. Choose additional settings:
    • Rollup Sprint Points: Display the combined total of points from both the parent task and any subtasks.
    • Points per Assignee: Assign different points to individual assignees when using the Multiple Assignees ClickApp. The point total displayed for each task will be the sum of points assigned for each assignee.
