Agile Framework in Orangescrum
Orangescrum supports all major Agile workflows:
| Framework | Description |

Core Components of Agile in Orangescrum
| Component | Purpose |
| Epics | High-level goals or major features broken down into user stories. |
| User Stories | Describe what the user wants to achieve (“As a user, I want…”). |
| Tasks & Subtasks | Actionable steps to complete stories and deliver functionality. |
| Sprints | Time-boxed work cycles for delivering incremental value. |
| Backlog | Central repository of all upcoming user stories, tasks, and ideas. |
| Agile Board (Kanban) | Visual view to move tasks across stages: To Do → In Progress → Done. |
Getting Started with Agile in Orangescrum
Step 1: Enable Agile View
- Navigate to Settings → Project Settings → Agile / Scrum.
- Enable Agile Project View for your workspace or specific project.
Pro Tip: Keep sprints short (1–2 weeks) for faster feedback and flexibility.
Managing the Backlog
The Backlog acts as your idea vault — capturing everything that hasn’t been assigned to a sprint yet.
- Add Epics, Stories, and Tasks directly to your backlog.
- Prioritize work by dragging items to the top.
- Move items into active sprints when ready for execution.
- Tag backlog items with labels or priority levels for clarity.
A well-groomed backlog keeps your sprints smooth and predictable.
Working with the Agile Board
The Agile (Kanban) Board gives you a visual way to track sprint progress.
| Column | Meaning |
| To Do | Planned work that hasn’t started. |
| In Progress | Tasks currently being worked on. |
| In Review | Work completed and awaiting QA or approval. |
| Done | Finished tasks ready for release or closure. |
You can:
- Drag and drop tasks between columns.
- Assign or reassign members instantly.
- Apply filters (by assignee, priority, or label).
- View task cards with quick details (title, due date, status).
Visual boards increase transparency and reduce status meetings.
Tracking Sprint Progress
Orangescrum provides built-in metrics and dashboards to track sprint health:
| Report | Description |
| Burndown Chart | Shows remaining work vs. time — helps forecast completion. |
| Velocity Chart | Tracks the average work completed per sprint to measure consistency. |
| Sprint Summary Report | Displays completed, in-progress, and pending tasks. |
| Team Performance Report | Evaluates contributions across members. |
These insights help Scrum Masters and managers adjust workloads or improve planning accuracy.

- Attach screenshots, design files, or documents from OneDrive / Google Drive.

Real-time communication helps teams adapt quickly to sprint challenges.
Completing and Closing Sprints
At the end of each sprint:
- Review completed and pending items.
- Move unfinished tasks back to the backlog or next sprint.
- Update sprint status to Completed.
- Generate Sprint Summary Reports for stakeholders.
- Conduct a Retrospective to note what worked and what didn’t.
Continuous improvement ensures every sprint is better than the last.
