Hi everyone,
We have used smartsheet to implement waterfall style projects before and are using card view in a very limited sense. We are establishing a user group for managing our Enterprise Resource Planning system and we are investigating using Scrum to manage our processes. However, it seems to me that the lack of horizontal lanes makes it very difficult to manage parallel stories (and their associated tasks and subtasks) in the same sprint period.
What are people doing in real life to overcome this lack of functionality?
We are already tied to smartsheet so I would like to make it work for this but I'm having a hard time envisioning a setup that won't take a lot of manual work to create visibility across multiple stories. I'm actually thinking that starting with a manual board and then later investing in a agile specific software may be the better option. I've looked at the available templates and they all seem to suffer from this shortcoming.
Does anyone have advice for a agile/scrum beginner?
Edit: I have been doing some research and it seems like inputting stories/subtasks/tasks in the grid view and reserving the top hierarchy for the story while working in card view with a level 2 view filter might get closer to giving me the view I want, it's still very messy visually though
