Summary

In this chapter, we looked at how to use JIRA Agile for Scrum. We looked at the Scrum board and how you can use it to organize your issue backlog, plan and run your sprint, and review and track its progress with reports and charts. Remember that the keys for a successfully running sprint are consistency, review, and continuous improvement. It is fine if you find your estimates are incorrect, especially for the first few sprints; just make sure that you review, adjust, and improve.

Now that you have seen how to use a Scrum board, in the next chapter, we will dive into the more advanced features of JIRA Agile and how you can customize your Scrum board to better suite your team's workflow.
