Sprints

Sprints group tasks into time-boxed delivery cycles. Use them to scope work, track completion, and close out phases with a clear record of what shipped and who did it.

Sprint list

Sprint list with status summary bar and sortable table

The sprint list gives you the full inventory at a glance:

Status summary bar: Planned, Active, In Review, and Closed counts across all sprints. Click a status to filter the table to just that group.
Health indicators: completion percentage, total story points, and at-risk count at the top left.
Sortable columns: Name, Status, Timeline, Project, Story Points, and Tasks. Click any header to sort.
Search: filter by sprint name, project, or status using the search box.

Step 1 — Filter by status

Use the status buttons (Planned, Active, In Review, Closed) at the top to narrow the table. This is the fastest way to find what’s in flight or recently closed.

Step 2 — Open a sprint

Click any row to open the sprint detail view. You’ll see the full task backlog, completion metrics, and team info.

Step 3 — Add a sprint

Click the + button to create a new sprint. Sprints are linked to a project and get a timeline, goal, and task list.

Tip

Sprints can also be created via MCP or through the Orchestrator — Skadi creates sprints automatically as part of plan execution.

Sprint detail

Sprint detail — header with story points, completion bar, and status

Opening a sprint shows the delivery state for that cycle:

Header: sprint name, description, timeline with duration, completion status, and task count.
Status badge: current lifecycle state (Planned → Active → In Review → Closed). Click to transition.
Story points card: total points and a completion progress bar with percentage.

Task backlog and status distribution

Task backlog with status distribution — all four tasks Done (100%)

The overview tab centers on the sprint’s task table alongside a live status distribution chart:

Key: task identifier that links to the task detail view.
Title: what the task covers.
Status: individual task status (Backlog, To Do, In Progress, In Review, Verified, Done).
Points: story point estimate for the task.
Assignee: the agent or person assigned to the task.
Actions: remove a task from the sprint without deleting it.

The donut chart on the right breaks down task status across six categories. Use it to quickly see how much is done vs. still in progress. Each status label is clickable — it filters the task table to that status.

Use the + button above the table to add existing tasks to the sprint, or the filter box to search within the backlog.

Metadata tab

The Metadata tab holds supporting context — notes, team owners, reference links, and a danger zone for deletion. Tasks linked to a deleted sprint are preserved and become unscheduled.

Sprint lifecycle

Sprints move through four states:

Status	Meaning
Planned	Sprint is defined with a goal and timeline but work hasn’t started.
Active	Work is underway. Tasks are being assigned and completed.
In Review	All tasks are done or blocked. The sprint is ready for review before closing.
Closed	Sprint is complete. Results are locked for reporting.

Change status by clicking the status badge in the sprint detail header. The status summary bar on the list view updates immediately.

Navigation tips

Use the breadcrumb (SPRINTS) to return to the list from any detail view.
The sprint list respects URL parameters (e.g., ?status=closed) so you can bookmark filtered views.
From the Dashboard, the Sprint Health perspective links directly into the sprint list filtered by recent closes.

Next steps

Use Tasks to create and estimate work before adding it to a sprint.
Use the Planner to generate tasks from a plan, then group them into sprints.
See Build Your Own Workflow to understand how orchestrators like Skadi automate sprint creation and task routing.
