Introduction

Sprint management in agile teams can quickly spiral out of control. Missed deadlines, scattered tasks, unclear ownership, and limited visibility into progress can derail even the best-planned projects.

If you’re juggling spreadsheets or disconnected tools to keep your sprints on track, you’re wasting valuable time and increasing the risk of delivery delays.

That’s where the Blazor Sprint Management Application comes in.

Built with Syncfusion’s Blazor UI components, this comprehensive solution consolidates all aspects of sprint planning. Task boards, timelines, scheduling, and resource tracking are combined in a single, interactive dashboard. Whether you’re a project manager, developer, or scrum master, this tool empowers you to plan, execute, and deliver sprints with clarity and precision.

Note: For more details, refer to the Blazor Sprint Management demo.

Key components of sprint management

Kanban: Visual workflow management

Kanban organizes tasks into columns representing workflow stages such as To Do, In Progress, and Done. It helps teams track progress and manage tasks efficiently.

Key features:

• Drag-and-drop: Move tasks easily between columns.

• Task labels: Differentiate tasks by priority, category, or status.

• Customization Modify columns, colors, and task statuses.

<SfKanban DataSource="@KanbanData.ToList()" KeyField="Status">
</SfKanban>

@code {
    public List<TaskData> KanbanData { get; set; } = new() {
        new TaskData { Id = 1, Subject = "Task 1", Status = "To Do" },
        new TaskData { Id = 2, Subject = "Task 2", Status = "In Progress" }
    };
}

Gantt Chart: Visualize project timelines

The Gantt Chart is a timeline-based component that displays tasks, their dependencies, and progress over time, helping teams manage scheduling and resource allocation.

Key features:

• Task scheduling: View tasks along a timeline with start dates and durations.

• Dependency tracking: Visualize relationships between tasks.

• Resource allocation: Assign resources and track workloads.

<SfGantt DataSource="@TaskCollection">
    <GanttTaskFields Id="Id"
                     Name="Subject"
                     StartDate="StartTime"
                     EndDate="EndTime"
                     Progress="Progress"
                     ParentId="ParentId"
                     Dependency="Predecessor">
    </GanttTaskFields>
</SfGantt>

DataGrid: Manage task information

The DataGrid component displays and organizes task information in a table format. It supports sorting, filtering, and editing, making it easy to handle large datasets.

Key features:

• Sorting and filtering: Organize tasks by various criteria.

• Inline editing: Update task details directly within the grid.

• Pagination: Navigate through large datasets easily.

<SfDataGrid DataSource="@GridData" AllowSorting="true" AllowFiltering="true">
    <GridColumns>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(TaskData.Id) 
                    IsPrimaryKey="true" 
                    HeaderText="ID" 
                    Visible="false" 
                    TextAlign="TextAlign.Center"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(TaskData.Subject) 
                    HeaderText="Subject" 
                    Width="230px" 
                    ClipMode="Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids.ClipMode.EllipsisWithTooltip" 
                    AllowGrouping="false"></GridColumn>
    </GridColumns>
</SfDataGrid>

Scheduler: Manage time-based tasks

The Scheduler component is ideal for managing deadlines, meetings, and other time-sensitive tasks. It provides multiple views for better task visualization.

Key features:

• Event management: Add, edit, and delete events or deadlines.

• Multiple views: Switch between daily, weekly, monthly, and agenda views.

• Recurring events: Set up recurring tasks or appointments.

<SfSchedule TValue="TaskData" 
            AllowInline="false" 
            AllowMultiDrag="false" 
            @bind-CurrentView="@CurrentView">
</SfScheduler>
