Any recommended sprint planning tools besides Jira?

Question

Hi community, me and my team are working Scrum board  with the help of Jira backlog to manage our tasks. However, I just wonder if there are any other options or third-party solutions for sprint planning management?

Since we're having quite a handful of projects and we think we might need an extra hand. Thank you in advanced.

Thanks for your input.

So I think you might need something like Scrumban (which is a combination of Scrum with sprint planning and Kanban board) to have better management with visuals.

As for now, I can recommend testing out the sprint Kanban feature from Routemap -Portfolio Roadmaps, Timeline Gantt-chart & Kanban for Jira. What it does is it will gather your sprint backlog in Jira from multiple projects and visualize them on the same Kanban board. So I believe this will work flawlessly for your needs.

And in case you want to have more effective Sprint retrospectives and enhance your sprint meetings, you can also take a look at Planning Poker, Agile Retrospectives, Daily Standup. It will help make your Agile retrospective sessions more fun and productive.

With real-time discussion, you can your team can type messages and have a conversation so everyone can understand what's going on.

Hope these tools can help you manage your sprints and work more efficiently.

And sorry for the late response :(

Hi @Lucas_DevSamurai_

We're looking for a way to gather all projects tasks or Sprint backlog at the same place since we will have to run multiple projects in the future. Our team is not very big so it can become handy if we can view and manage our projects bit by bit.
