Scrum boards for planning and running your sprints

Give each sprint a label. Plan it on a grid, run it on a board filtered to that sprint and carry unfinished work over with one drag.

Can you run scrum in Eigenfocus?

Yes. Each sprint is a label in Eigenfocus, so planning a sprint means dragging issues into it.

  • A planning grid shows each sprint as a column and the backlog as the last one.
  • The sprint board is a status board filtered to the current sprint label.
  • Story points go in a number field and time reports filter by sprint label.

Where sprints get messy

"Planning happens in a spreadsheet."

Plan on a grid with one column per sprint. Drag an issue in and it's in the sprint.

"Unfinished work disappears between sprints."

Drag what's left from Sprint 14 to Sprint 15 on the planning grid. It shows up on next sprint's board.

"Nobody knows how many hours a sprint took."

Everyone logs time on the issue. Filter the time report by the sprint label.

One sprint, start to finish

Three steps on the same issues. Switch the tabs to follow a sprint.

Remaining issues is your backlog. Drag a card into a sprint to plan it.

Ask Claude Code to move every unfinished Sprint 14 card to Sprint 15 and it does the same through the MCP server. More about the MCP server

How it works

A label for each sprint

Create a label per sprint and keep a board filtered to the current one. At the start of the next sprint, point the filter to the new label.

  • Planning grid with sprints as columns and people as rows

Story points on every card

Add a number field for story points and show it on the cards. Group a board by it when the team estimates together.

  • A select field for area or component next to it
  • Pick which fields show on each view

See the hours each sprint took

The team logs time on the issue they work on. Admins and super managers filter the time report by the sprint label and export it to CSV.

Frequently asked questions

How do sprints work in Eigenfocus?
Each sprint is a label. A planning grid has one column per sprint plus a Remaining issues column for the backlog. Dragging an issue between columns changes its sprint label.
Can we estimate with story points?
Yes. Add a number field called Story points, show it on the cards and group a board by it during estimation.
Can we see how many hours a sprint took?
Yes. Time is logged on the issue. The time report filters by label, so filtering by the sprint label gives the hours for that sprint.
Can our coding agent pick up sprint work?
Yes. Claude Code, Codex and Cursor connect through the MCP server. Ask the agent for the next issue in the current sprint and it reads it, works on it and moves it to review.
How much does Eigenfocus cost for a scrum team of eight?
On Cloud, a team of eight is in the up to 10 people tier at $39 a month, never per user. Self-hosted Essential and PRO are paid once with no user limit.
