Using Loom for Scrum
Fastest way to communicate complex ideas asynchronously — record screen + camera in seconds with zero setup. When combined with Scrum, this makes Loom a strong candidate for teams who want a structured, repeatable workflow without sacrificing flexibility. Scrum works best in Loom when you leverage its core workflow features to implement the framework's key practices directly in the tool your team already lives in.
Scrum structures work into fixed-length sprints (typically 2 weeks) with defined ceremonies: sprint planning, daily standup, sprint review, and retrospective.
How to set up Scrum in Loom
Set up your project and backlog
In Loom, create a new project and use a list view filtered to "Not started" as your backlog. Add a custom field for story points. Keep the backlog sorted by priority.
Create your first sprint
Loom doesn't have a native sprint container. Create a filtered view or milestone representing the sprint window. Use a label like "Sprint 14" and filter cards by it on your board.
Configure your sprint board
Create a list view grouped by status. Use statuses: To Do, In Progress, In Review, Done. This gives your Scrum board visibility even without a visual board layout.
Set up velocity tracking and retrospective workflow
Enable Loom's analytics or reporting to track velocity over time (story points completed per sprint). After each sprint, run a retrospective in Loom using a dedicated section or template to capture What Went Well, What Didn't, and Action Items.
