Key Concepts

The building blocks of your project

Product

A product or area of your project. Stories belong to a product. Products appear in the sidebar with their own backlog view.

Organise

User Story

A feature or requirement described from the user's perspective. Stories live in the backlog until moved into a sprint. Prefixed S-1, S-2, etc.

Plan

Sprint

A time-boxed period (usually 1-2 weeks) where the team commits to delivering specific stories and tasks. Has a start date, end date, and goal.

Deliver

Task

A concrete piece of work within a sprint. Tasks can belong to a story or stand alone. Track status as Open, In Progress, or Done. Prefixed T-1, T-2, etc.

Execute

Subtask

A smaller unit of work nested under a task. Subtasks inherit the parent task's assignee by default. Prefixed ST-1, ST-2, etc.

Break Down

Note

A comment attached to any story, task, or subtask. Notes notify the assignee. You have 5 minutes to edit after posting.

Work Hierarchy

How everything fits together
■ Mobile App (Product) ▸ S-1: User authentication (Story — in Sprint 1) ▶ T-1: Build login form (Task — assigned to Alice) ↳ ST-1: Style the form (Subtask) ↳ ST-2: Add validation (Subtask) ✎ "Started working on layout" — Alice, 2h ago (Note) ▶ T-2: Add OAuth provider (Task — assigned to Bob) ▸ S-2: Dashboard widgets (Story — backlog)
■ API Platform (Product) ▸ S-3: Rate limiting (Story — backlog)
The sidebar shows your product tree with a count of backlog stories per product. Click any product to jump straight to its backlog.

Product Backlog

Your prioritised list of work

The backlog is where all stories live before they enter a sprint. Each product has its own backlog view, or you can see everything in All Backlogs.

User Stories

Features described from the user's perspective

Stories are the main planning unit. They start in the backlog, get pulled into sprints, and contain tasks that break down the work.

ActionHow
Create storyBacklog page → Add Story, or use the Quick Submit button
View detailsClick any story to see description, tasks, notes, and metadata
Move to sprintBacklog → story card → Move to Sprint dropdown
Add tasksStory detail → Add Task (tasks automatically link to the story)
Delete storyChoose: Cascade (delete tasks too), Unlink (keep tasks), or Reassign (move tasks to another story)
🔄 You can convert a task into a story from the task detail page. This is useful when a task turns out to be bigger than expected and needs its own breakdown.

Tasks & Subtasks

The hands-on work

Tasks are the concrete work items your team executes during a sprint. Use subtasks to break them down further.

Kanban Board

Tasks displayed in columns by status: Open, In Progress, Done. Drag a card into a different column to change its status, or use the status selector on the card.

List View

Tasks in a filterable table. Filter by tags and customers. Great for bulk review and finding specific tasks.

ActionHow
Create taskSprint detail → Add Task under a story, or as a standalone task
Change statusDrag the card to a new column on the kanban board, or click the status badge on the card/row
Assign taskTask form → Assignee dropdown (team members)
Add subtaskTask detail → Add Subtask (inherits assignee from parent)
Move subtaskSubtask can be moved to a different parent task
Add tagsTask detail → Tags section → select from configured tags

Collaboration

Notes & notifications

Notes

Add comments to any story, task, or subtask. The assignee is automatically notified. You have 5 minutes to edit a note after posting.

Notifications

The bell icon in the header shows your unread count. You're notified when:

  • You're assigned to a story, task, or subtask
  • You're reassigned to something
  • Someone adds a note on your item
🔔 Click a notification to jump straight to the story, task, or subtask. Use Mark all as read to clear your badge. You'll never be notified about your own actions.

Quick Submit

Rapidly capture bugs and ideas

The floating New Story button in the bottom-right corner (labelled on every device) lets you capture stories, bugs, or feature requests without leaving the page you're on. If you're already inside a product's backlog, the product is prefilled automatically.

Quick Submit Flow
1
Tap "New Story"
2
Choose Bug or Feature
3
Enter title + product
4
Submit to backlog
Appears instantly
💡 After submitting, the form keeps your type, product, and priority selections for quick sequential entries. Only the title and description reset.

Settings

Configure your workspace

Tags

Create colour-coded tags to categorise tasks (e.g. "frontend", "backend", "design"). Apply multiple tags per task and filter by tag in list view.

Customers

Track which customer or stakeholder requested work. Assign customers to stories and tasks for visibility and reporting.

Products

Define your product areas with colours. Products support a two-level hierarchy (parent/child). Each product gets its own backlog view in the sidebar. Tap the + next to "Backlogs" in the sidebar to create a new product without leaving the page.

ClickUp Integration

Connect to ClickUp to push tasks automatically. Link sprints to ClickUp lists and task status changes sync in real-time (one-way: Tracker → ClickUp).

📱

Mobile & Sign Out

Navigating on phones and ending your session

Sprint Tracker is fully usable on a phone. The desktop sidebar collapses into a slide-out drawer, and the header actions move into the drawer so everything stays one tap away.

🔑 Session security. Sessions are JWT-backed and refresh automatically. If an admin deactivates your account or changes your role, the next page navigation picks it up within 60 seconds — no refresh required.
📲 Mobile-first polish. Story cards render in a two-row layout on small screens, filters collapse to a toggle, and body text is guaranteed to stay at least 12px so nothing ever turns into microcopy.

Tips & Tricks

Get the most out of Sprint Tracker
🚀 Quick Submit is your friend. Spotted a bug while working? Hit the green button, type a title, and get back to what you were doing. It goes straight to the backlog.
📂 Use folders for sprint organisation. Group sprints by quarter, team, or project. Completed sprints move to a separate section automatically.
🎨 Colour your products. Each product gets a colour dot in the sidebar and on story cards. This makes it easy to see which product area work belongs to at a glance.
🔁 Drag stories to prioritise. In the backlog, drag stories up and down to set priority order. This order is preserved and visible to the whole team.
🎬 Drag tasks across the kanban board. Grab any card and drop it into Open, In Progress, or Done to change its status in a single gesture. The move persists immediately — no save button.
🔔 Check your notifications. The bell icon updates every 30 seconds. Click a notification to jump straight to the relevant item.
🛠 Convert tasks to stories. If a task grows too big, open its detail page and use "Convert to Story". Notes and context carry over.
