Turn any GitHub repository into a simple but powerful agile work environment.
Free, simple and fast so you can focus on the actual coding!
Summary:
- How it works
- 1. Create issues as backlog items
- 2. Add labels to issues
- 3. Define sprints as milestones
- Overview
- Helpful links
- Change log
- items are reported as issues
- points and meta data are assigned to items as labels
- milestones are used to group issues in sprints
To create a new backlog item, just create a new issue.
Once a new issue has been created, assign it the right labels and/or assign it to a sprint (milestone).
Issues allow you to have a conversation about the item and even allow you to create task lists inside the issue using GitHub's markdown.
Add the following labels to your repository:
priority labels allow you to prioritize items in your backlog e.g.:
priority: lowestpriority: lowpriority: mediumpriority: highpriority: highest
point labels allow you to to assign velocity points to individual items (issues) e.g. using Fibonacci numbers:
point: 1point: 2point: 3point: 5point: 8point: 13point: 21
type labels allow you to easily filter items (issues) in the dashboard e.g.:
type:bug: bugtype:chore: chore, maintenance worktype:feature: new featuretype:infrastructure: infrastructure relatedtype:performance: performance relatedtype:refactor: refactortype:test: test related
You can define and assign custom labels that you need within your workflow or organization.
You can create a milestone for every sprint and add items (issues) from the backlog to a milestone.
This allows you to group items in sprints and track them by milestone in your issue dashboard.
The backlog then consists of all items (issues) that have no milestone attached to it.
TIP: Use no:milestone in the search field on your issue dashboard to find backlog items.
