Sprint Planning with Structure

With Structure, you can track all the work items for upcoming sprints – even if they're from different projects – and visualize all the data you need to track on a single screen. You can even aggregate that data for each sprint.

Step 1: Build a Sprint Planning Structure

To create a new structure:

1. Open the Structure Selector menu and select Create New Structure

2. Add work items: +Add | Insert | Basic Insert

3. Group work items by fix version: +Add | Group | Field | select "Sprints"

Step 2: Add Data

Next, add the data you'll use to compare work item priority:

1. Click the + button at the top-right corner of the structure

2. Select the fields or attributes you want to compare - we recommend:

   • Status

   • Assignee

   • Epic

   • Story Points (if you’re using them)

   • WSJF (or any other metric your team uses to prioritize work items or assess business value)

3. Click the header of any column to sort your work items by that value.

Step 3: Assign Work Items

To assign work items to a sprint, drag it from the backlog to the appropriate sprint. You can also reassign work items by dragging them from one sprint to another.

Optional Enhancements

• Aggregate values for each sprint: when adding a column (such as Story Points), select Sum over sub-items

• Group by assignee under each sprint to see how the work is divided across your team: +Add | Group | Field | Assignee

• Use Structure.Gantt to view any blocking dependencies between work items (to help prioritize them)
