# Sprints that end with *shipped* work

> Plan sprints, triage bugs, and keep the roadmap honest without another status meeting.

Scope creeps in, bugs pile up in three places, and nobody is sure what made the release. Give every sprint one board and one source of truth.

## Fewer surprises at the end of the sprint

### The old way

- Scope that grows halfway through the sprint
- Bug reports scattered across chat and email
- Stand-ups spent reading status aloud
- Release notes written from memory

### With one shared board

- Sprint scope everyone agreed on
- One triage queue with owners
- Progress anyone can check in seconds
- Release notes built from done tasks

## Plan the sprint, then let the board talk

### Sprints with a clear finish line

Plan two-week sprints on a shared calendar and see review days, freezes, and releases before they arrive.

### Blockers surface before stand-up

Threads stay on the task, so the person who can unblock it sees the question right away.

## Your first sprint in three steps

1. **Connect your repos**: Link code hosting, chat, and docs so updates reach the right task.
2. **Pick a workflow**: Start from a sprint or bug triage template and keep your own columns.
3. **Ship and learn**: Close the sprint, share what shipped, and carry the rest forward.

## Questions from product teams

### Can we estimate tasks with points?

Yes. Add points or hours to any task, and the sprint view adds them up per person and per column.

### Does it connect to our code hosting?

Yes. Link a repository to update tasks from commits and pull requests. See the [integrations](https://taskly-astro.pages.dev/integrations/).

### How do we handle bugs that arrive mid-sprint?

Send them to a triage queue. Someone sorts them once a day, and only urgent ones join the current sprint.

### Can we keep a long-term roadmap too?

Yes. Group tasks into milestones and see them on a timeline next to your sprints.
