I'd like to try scrum with my team. Studied a lot of posts about scrum tools here, but i think it's all superfluous and excel file is ok for product and sprint backlog. But it's problem to fing a good template. Maybe somebody could share excel template he is using for scrum backlog? Thanks.
Answer
Excel is really an extremely powerful tool and is very appropriate for the product backlog (and it has my preference if suitable: just share the product backlog on a network drive and there you go). I have used the following templates successfully in the past:
- Henrik Kniberg's Index Card Generator and a wall for the sprint backlog
- Petri Heiramo's advanced product and sprint backlog template (video tutorial here)
You can browse my personal collection for more of them but I recommend the two above.
