How to Create a Sprint in ProdPad
ProdPad doesn't have a native sprint model — it uses continuous flow or work management instead. If your team runs Scrum, you may want to evaluate Jira, Linear, or Shortcut.
Step-by-step
1
Consider your workflow model
ProdPad is designed for continuous flow rather than time-boxed sprints. You can approximate sprint behaviour by using due dates and filtered board views.
2
Create a board with a date filter
Set up a board or list filtered to work due within your sprint window. Name it "Sprint 14" and treat it as your working sprint.
3
Use a dedicated sprint tool alongside
Many teams use ProdPad for tracking and a dedicated sprint tool (Jira, Linear) for sprint ceremonies. This is common for hybrid workflows.
Pro tips
- Keep sprint goals outcome-focused ("Reduce checkout abandonment by 15%") rather than task-focused.
- ProdPad is relatively easy to onboard — new team members should be productive within their first sprint.
- Velocity is a guide, not a target. Don't use it to pressure the team.
