agile insight
Sprint Tracking is the activity that Agile teams perform to monitor the progress of a sprint. Each team member typically updates the remaining effort or both the effort completed and remaining of their tasks daily. The remaining effort represents the true state of a sprint at any given time and is represented visually in the sprint burndown chart. As the sprint progresses, the remaining effort required to complete the iteration's tasks should decrease. By consistently managing the total remaining effort of all the tasks, a very clear picture of the overall sprint status is communicated. If at any given point during the sprint it appears that the remaining work will not approach zero by the end of the sprint, the team and/or management may elect to take appropriate measures, such as reducing scope.
 

V1 Sprint Tracking Step-by-Step

Track Member Progress Centrally

Sprint Tracking lists all the backlog items and defects in a sprint along with their tasks and tests. The page allows you to enter your expended Effort, if applicable, and remaining effort (To Do) against each workitem as well as update task, test, backlog item or defect information as appropriate.
