Are tasks useful or can be used in a SCRUM project ?

Lydie_H

I am admin for the first time.

My team and I use the SCRUM method, and I don't understand if we can or cannot use tasks (i mean tickets with issuetype = task). We;

• cannot can see them to backlog and sprint backlog
• can fill the "sprint" field
• cannot add some story points

 

Sorry, I am confused and found nothing about it. Are we supposed not to use tasks for a scrum project ?

Thanks a ot for your help

Hello Lydie.

You can use all the Issue type you want for a scrum project. I think your board or project might not be configured properly, but you should be able to use epic/Story/Tasks/Bug indistinctly in your backlog or Kanban.

First question : can you create a task in your project ? Do you have a message indicating your issue will not bi visible in the backlog ?

Second question : does this task appear in your backlog ? If not, there must be some changes to do in your Board settings (... on the top right hand corner/board settings/ General or Column tabs). You can send us screenshots if your task don't appear on the BL.

Let us know if it helped you
