A backlog that is easy to groom
The Starlex backlog lists every issue that is not yet in a sprint, ranked by priority. Drag to reorder, open any issue in a side panel to refine it, and pull work into the next sprint when it is ready. New and triaged issues land in the backlog too, so nothing slips through a separate queue.
Sprints with a clear start and finish
Create a sprint, give it dates and a goal, and drag issues into it. The board then focuses on the active sprint, and filters let you look at any sprint on its own. When the sprint ends, unfinished work goes back to the backlog or into the next sprint.
Estimates with story points
Add story points to issues to size work and balance each sprint. Teams that do not estimate can turn the points off for a project, and each person can choose whether cards show them.
Epics, stories and sub-tasks
Group related issues under epics, break stories into sub-tasks, and see progress roll up. The Epics view and the Gantt chart both use the same hierarchy, so planning at the epic level and working at the task level stay connected.
Releases
Assign issues to releases and generate release notes from the finished work, ready to share with customers or the rest of the company.
Frequently asked questions
Does Starlex support Scrum?
Yes. Starlex has a backlog, sprints with dates and goals, story points, epics, sub-tasks and releases, which covers what Scrum teams use day to day.
Can I plan sprints without story points?
Yes. Story points are optional and can be turned off for a project.
Can I use Kanban and sprints together?
Yes. The board shows the active sprint, and teams that do not use sprints can work straight from the board and backlog.
