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.
