You can also use Visor to create a range of other views to help you manage and plan your sprints, such as our sprint planning templates.
These can all be created with the help of Visor’s AI Smart Templates, in order to save you time, effort, and infuse your views with best practices gleaned from thousands of views of the same type created by human users of Visor.
Can I use Visor’s to create roadmaps and visualizations to plan and track projects?
Yes, you can create crystal clear roadmaps using Visor’s AI-powered Gantt chart maker, you can also create other views like timelines and dashboards.
Can I create views in Visor that include multiple sprints or even multiple projects?
Yes, you can view multiple projects or sprints in all of Visor’s view types to visualize, plan, track, analyze, and share all of your sprints or projects in a single view.
What is the difference between a sprint backlog and a product backlog?
Can I share my sprint backlog in Visor with both internal and external stakeholders?
Yes, you can share live views of your sprint backlog with anyone you want to. You can share using email invites or reusable sharing links, you can set permission levels for different individuals or groups to, enabling you to share your sprint backlogs – and other sprint views – with freedom, confidence, and security.
Can I use data from other apps in Visor’s sprint backlog templates?
Yes, Visor has bi-directional integrations with Jira, Asana, Salesforce, and other apps. This enables you to use data from your projects (and other data too) in these apps in Visor’s sprint backlog templates.
The bi-directional integration keeps Visor in sync with your apps to preserve your single version of the truth and prevent manual updates. You can even import multiple projects to create sprint backlog views that incorporate all the teams, projects, or projects in your organization or business unit.
This means you can import sprint backlog items like tasks, stories, subtasks, bugs, and so on from app like Jira, Asana, Salesforce into Visor, update their status in Visor, and then sync them back into your apps too.
Can I combine my sprint and/or project data from other apps with other data sources in Visor?
Yes, using Visor is a great way to combine and supplement data from your project management apps (such as Jira or Asana) with data from other sources, for example:
Data from CRMs like Salesforce
Data from MarTech apps like Hubspot
Data from CSVs
Data entered directly into Visor
Is Visor primarily a tool for managing sprint backlogs?
No, although Visor is great for visualizing and managing your sprint backlogs it has many more valuable applications than this.
Visor is a better way to visualize your projects and portfolios of projects. It is mainly used by people working in apps like Jira and Asana who feel limited by those apps’ native visualization options.
Visor’s two-way integrations with these apps enables people to create beautiful, crystal clear visualizations of their projects that stay in sync with their project management apps. It also has useful features to manage, track, and analyze groups of projects (aka to do project portfolio management), this makes it a powerful but easy to use project portfolio management tool for organizations of all sizes.
Can I customize the stages used in the sprint backlog template?
Yes, you can completely customize the stages, columns, lanes, and groupings used in the sprint backlog template to fit your own processes.
When I’m using a board view as my sprint backlog template can I add lanes to improve the organization of my cards (the items on my sprint backlog)?
Yes, you can add and customize lanes in Visor’s Kanban board view when you’re using it to manage the backlog for your sprint.
Once the AI has created your sprint backlog template simply click on the “Lanes” button in the board view and select the field you want to use to define your lanes (such as project, team, strategic goal, priority, effort level, or any other useful criteria).
If the criteria you want to organize your sprint backlog by does not exist in your data, you can create a custom dropdown field in Visor to add this criteria to your data. Just click the “New field” button, select Dropdown field, and add the field name and options. You can now organize the items in your sprint backlog using this additional criteria, giving you a much more structured approach and more options to categorize your various user stories and bugs.
Can I use the sprint backlog template to monitor the progression of work items too?
Yes, you can add additional stages to your sprint backlog view to track work items that have been moved from the backlog and are actually being worked on. You can even create additional views to track and assess the impact of your work items (such as features or improvements).
What else can I use Visor for besides managing my sprint backlog?
Visor has a wide range of uses besides managing your sprint backlog, here are just some of the most popular uses for Visor that we see:
Creating project dashboards to monitor project progress and KPIs
Creating and sharing project plans, Gantt charts, and roadmaps
Sharing project plans and trackers with clients and other external stakeholders
As project portfolio management software (but unlike many other PPM software, Visor is easy to use, flexible, and suitable for organizations of all sizes)
Visor is the best way to visualize, track, share, and analyze your projects and portfolios of projects.
Can I add items into my sprint backlog from multiple organizations, instances, or different apps?
Yes, in Visor you can import sprints, projects, stories, and tasks from different organizations, instances, or apps, and view them in the same sprint backlog view, or separate views, depending on your preference. For example you can import, combine, and visualize data from:
Multiple Jira, Asana, or Salesforce instances in different organizations
Multiple Jira, Asana, or Salesforce instances in the same organization
Jira, Asana, Salesforce and other apps either from one or many teams/organizations
You can also supplement data from all of the above examples with data added directly into Visor itself.
Why is using a Smart Template to create sprint backlog views better than creating your own plans from scratch or using generic templates?
Smart Templates in Visor are powered by AI, which uses your data, your prompts, and its learnings from thousands of human-created visualizations.
This enables it to produce sprint backlog views and other visualizations infused with best practices and fully customized to your precise requirements and objectives.
The difference between Smart Templates and regular templates is akin to the difference between wearing a finely tailored, top-of-the-line suit to an ill-fitting, under-sized, off-the-rack shabby suit and trying to make it fit like the professionally tailored version – it’s possible. Still, it will take you lots of time, effort, trial-and-error, and frustration to get there.
Using Smart Templates to create your sprint backlog view gets you off to the best possible start, saves you hours, and saves you heaps of frustration. It’s a genuine game-changer in your ability to plan and visualize your sprint backlog and projects.
What other templates are available in Visor?
Visor has a wide range of templates, which you can find in our Templates Library.
Templates in Visor are generated by AI based on your responses to a short series of questions, which enable the AI to understand what you are trying to achieve and produce a ready-configured template to suit your needs. This means that you are not limited to the set of templates we offer in our library, as the AI can meet needs that we haven’t listed or even considered.
