Sprint Drop Plan is an organizational tool that helps team members to sync their tasks by visualizing work status and dependencies on a sprint-based calendar.
- Arrange tasks by simple drag & drop on the calendar.
- Visualize your progress by colors on the calendar.
- Highlight tasks on the same requirement by hovering on one of them.
- See when tasks are planned out of sequence (e.g., Testing before Development.)
- If you use Effort (Hours), you can see the progress of individual tasks.
- If you assign capacity to a user they will show on the calendar even if they have no tasks
- You can select to see/hide team non-working days (configured weekends/team days off)
- You can right click on a cell to add/remove it as a "Day off"
- Tasks on the plan will use the configured colour of the task, so that you can easily tell the difference between bugs/tasks/any custom task types.
- Navigate to your sprint.
- Click on the "Drop plan" tab.
- Start organizing your tasks.
An optional step is Configuring your project activity order in Drop Plan Settings.
Drop Plan settings are available from "Project Settings" under "Extensions".
Happy coding :-)
