Work spread over multiple sprints

Apoorv Bhargava

I have setup following hierarchy in JIRA, user-story (issue) > BE subtask & FE subtask. Since we have a small team FE tasks are completed and queued up while BE tasks follow later. This is leading to piling up of user stories on sprint board. What would be the best approach to keep track of the issues and keep the sprint board clean?

 

FYI - reason to use the above hierarchy is to keep track of completion of each user story.

 

Looking forward to hear your suggestions.

 

Thanks,

In Scrum, you should be sizing your stories such that they can be executed (ideally many of them) within a single sprint.  "Work spread over multiple sprints" should be a rare exception.

Your best approach is to refine your stories better, breaking them up into more manageable stories.  Or you could increase the length of your sprints so you can fit them in.
