Software sprint template

Backlog, sprints, code review and releases for a small team. Simple enough to run without a scrum master, with dependencies and milestones when you need them.

What's inside

Sprint-ready statusesCode review has a task limit, so reviews do not pile up.
Dependencies and milestonesRelease waits on QA, shown on the Gantt timeline.
Bug report formTesters and customers report bugs through a form; each lands in Backlog.
AI agents as teammatesGive a coding agent its own seat and token; it picks up tasks and hands them back for review.
APIRead and move tasks from scripts and CI with a scoped token.
Starter rulesRoute bugs and flag blockers. Edit or turn off any of them.

One sprint, start to finish

Four groups of starter tasks, linked with dependencies so the release waits on QA.

  • Bug fixes
  • Code review on every change
  • Update docs

TestDays 8-9

  • QA pass

Starter rules

Rules run when a task is added or changes, or when a due date gets close. Rules that assign a person start out assigning you; pick the right teammate in Automations.

Whena task is added from the bug form, tag it Bug and set priority High
Whena task moves to Code review, set the person to the reviewer
Whena due date is 1 day away, send me a heads-up

Questions

Does Taskift integrate with GitHub?

Not natively yet. You can use the API with a scoped token to read and move tasks from scripts or CI.

Can a coding agent work tasks?

Yes. Give the agent a seat and its own token; it reads tasks, moves cards and comments, and you review its work.

Can I see the sprint on a timeline?

Yes. The Gantt timeline shows every task, its dependencies and the release milestones.

Can I save my own version?

Yes. Save any project as a template and reuse it every sprint.
