  • Publication number: 20210117907
    Abstract: Present embodiments include systems and methods for generating a visualization presenting a list of tasks associated with a project as assigned to various teams in their respective sprints. The visualization may include dependencies between tasks, team bandwidth, status indicators, among other features, to enhance project planning. As mentioned above, systems and methods include generating the visualization based on team information, such as tasks and a timeframe, such as a sprint, for completing the tasks, as well as dependencies between the tasks. Present embodiments include presenting the visualization, such that respective sprints between certain teams may be independent from one another and start and end at respective start times and end times. As a result, teams may have the flexibility to operate according to their own timeframe because the start and end of one team's sprints may be independent and untethered to the start and end of another team's sprints.
