Sprint and Agile Management
with Full Lifecycle Tracking

Full sprint lifecycle with task carryover. Burndown charts, velocity tracking, and AI workload balancing.

Sprint
How it works

From sprint planning to retrospective in four steps

TARO handles the full sprint lifecycle, from backlog to close, carrying unfinished tasks forward.

1

Plan

Plan the sprint with the full backlog in front of you

Sprint planning pulls from your backlog, already ranked by Auto Prioritization. Set the name, goal, and dates, then drag tasks in. TARO shows capacity signals per member as you go, so you commit to a deliverable sprint.

2

Track

Burndown charts and velocity tracked across every sprint

TARO generates a live burndown chart for every active sprint, comparing the ideal completion rate against actual in real time. It also tracks velocity across completed sprints, and whether it's rising or falling.

3

AI

AI balances the sprint and predicts whether it finishes

TARO's AI runs two operations during a sprint: workload balancing and completion prediction. Balancing flags overloaded members and suggests reassignments. Prediction forecasts on-time close with confidence.

4

Close

Close the sprint. Every unfinished task handled cleanly.

When you close a sprint, TARO presents every unfinished task with three options: carry over to the next sprint, move to the backlog, or cancel. Carried-over tasks appear at the top, prioritised above new work.

Why TARO Sprint & Agile

Six reasons teams never go back

Sprint planning on real velocity, live burndown charts, and an AI that tells you on day 3 whether the sprint closes on time.

Burndown charts that update on every task completion

Burndown charts that update on every task completion

TARO's burndown chart recalculates the moment any task status changes. The ideal and actual lines stay in sync with real work, not a static chart.

Velocity data makes planning honest

Velocity data makes planning honest

When TARO's planning panel says the team averages 26 tasks per sprint, adding 38 to the commitment is a visible choice with visible consequences, not a guess.

Completion prediction on day 3, not day 9

Completion prediction on day 3, not day 9

TARO's AI predicts sprint completion at any point, not just the end. An 87% confidence on day 3 gives you 7 days to act. A 42% on day 8 gives you one.

AI workload balancing runs during the sprint

Planning balances work at the start. TARO's AI watches the sprint and surfaces rebalancing suggestions as things shift, keeping distribution healthy.

Carryover handled at close not forgotten

Carryover handled at close not forgotten

Every unfinished task at close gets an explicit decision: carry forward, backlog, or cancel. Nothing disappears, and nothing carries over unreviewed.

Full sprint history preserved for retrospectives

Full sprint history preserved for retrospectives

Every closed sprint keeps its full data: burndown shape, velocity, completion rate, carryover, blockers. Retrospectives run on the actual numbers, not memory.

trusted teams

Built for every team running
sprints with real deadlines

Engineering leads, scrum masters, and PMs use TARO Sprint & Agile for one reason: the sprint should reflect what the team can actually deliver. Burndown charts and AI prediction make it visible.

Engineering Teams

Sprint planning starts with velocity data. Not gut feel about capacity.

Engineering teams plan with the last 5-sprint velocity average beside the backlog. When the lead tries to commit 38 tasks against an average of 26, TARO makes the overcommitment visible.

More from TARO

Sprint & Agile is just the cadence

TARO's intelligence runs beneath every sprint, predicting risks, flagging bottlenecks, and ranking the backlog.

Auto Prioritization

Drop your backlog. TARO re-orders every task with AI by due dates, dependencies, and impact. Planning starts ranked, not blank.

Risk Prediction

Scans for overdue tasks, stalled workflows, and blocked dependencies surfaces exact action recommendations before risks become sprint-ending incidents.

Bottleneck Analysis

Identifies which pipeline stages have too many tasks, who's a single point of failure, and which handoffs are breaking down.

Completion Analysis

Predicts your project's actual finish date from velocity, blockers, and sprint history. Predicted date, variance, and confidence level before you commit.

Questions & answers

Everything you need to know about Sprint & Agile

Common questions from engineering leads, scrum masters, and PMs evaluating TARO's sprint management.

TARO tracks velocity as the number of tasks (or story points, if used) completed per sprint, recorded automatically when a sprint closes, and calculated per team, project, and member. The velocity dashboard shows a sprint-by-sprint trend line, so you see whether the team is delivering, improving, or declining. Velocity feeds sprint planning, where TARO shows the historical average and a recommended commitment range, and completion prediction.
TARO generates the burndown chart from two data series. The ideal line is set at sprint start: total tasks committed divided by total sprint days, a straight line from full commitment to zero at the end date. The actual line updates in real time every time a task is marked complete, plotting remaining count against the current day. Both appear on one chart, so the team sees whether actual completion is ahead, behind, or on pace. Zero-completion days show as flat spots, making stalls obvious.
TARO's AI workload balancing works in two modes. At planning, it shows real-time capacity signals as you drag tasks: amber at 75% capacity, red when a member exceeds their historical average, and it can suggest a balanced distribution. During the sprint, TARO monitors completion rates and flags anyone whose remaining load looks unlikely to clear by the end date, with specific reassignment suggestions. The AI never moves tasks automatically; every suggestion needs lead approval.
Sprint completion prediction combines three signals into one predicted close date with a confidence level. Current velocity (tasks completed per day so far) is projected against remaining tasks for a baseline finish date. Known blockers add delay proportional to how long blockers historically stay open for this team. Mid-sprint scope additions are factored in, since they lower the completion rate. Confidence reflects how much history underlies it: 80–90% for mature teams, 60–70% for newer ones.
When you close a sprint, TARO presents every unfinished task (anything not Completed or Cancelled) in a close-sprint panel with three options each: carry forward to the next sprint, move to the backlog, or cancel. Each option applies per task, so you can carry the two critical items while sending five lower-priority ones to the backlog. Carried-over tasks appear at the top of the backlog with a "Carried from Sprint N" label, and the closed sprint's final state is kept in its history.
Yes, TARO supports multiple concurrent active sprints across different projects or teams in one workspace. Each sprint is scoped to its own project and team, with separate burndown charts, velocity tracking, and AI predictions. This suits organisations running parallel tracks: a frontend team and a backend team can each have their own active sprint. Admins can view a cross-sprint summary of all active sprints, and dependencies that cross sprint boundaries are flagged as risks.
