Scrum tool

A Scrum tool that keeps sprints simple

SKILLRAT Projects follows Scrum the way your team already works it: a product backlog, time-boxed sprints with a goal, a Scrum board for the daily stand-up, and burndown and velocity to see whether the sprint is on track.

Scrum, from backlog to review

  • Product backlog

    Write user stories, tasks and bugs with story points, priority, labels, due dates and acceptance criteria. Drag to order the backlog.

  • Sprint planning

    Create a sprint with a goal and dates, pull the top of the backlog into it and start it when the team commits.

  • Scrum board

    Every story moves from To do to In progress, In review and Done. The board is what the team looks at in the daily Scrum.

  • Burndown chart

    Remaining story points against the ideal line, day by day, so you see early if the sprint is slipping.

  • Velocity

    Committed and completed points for every finished sprint, so planning uses real numbers rather than hope.

  • Sprint review

    Completing a sprint shows what was done, and you decide where unfinished work goes before the next sprint starts.

Scrum roles, built in

Each member of a project has a role, matching the Scrum Guide:

  • Product owner: owns the backlog and the project, adds and removes members.
  • Scrum master: runs the sprints and can manage the project too.
  • Developers: create, estimate and move the work.
  • Viewers: stakeholders who follow progress without changing anything.

Epics for bigger goals

Group related stories into epics and follow each epic's progress in items and points across sprints. Product owners see how far a feature is from done, without a separate roadmap tool.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Scrum tool?

Software that supports the Scrum framework: a product backlog, time-boxed sprints, a board for the daily Scrum, and reports such as burndown and velocity. SKILLRAT Projects provides all of these.

Does SKILLRAT Projects support story points?

Yes. Every story, task or bug can have story points, and the burndown chart and velocity report are calculated from them.

What happens to unfinished work when a sprint ends?

When you complete a sprint, you choose where its unfinished items go, so nothing is lost between sprints.

Can stakeholders follow a sprint without changing it?

Yes. Add them with the viewer role: they can see the backlog, board and reports, but not change anything.
