Scrum Sprint Backlog Templates: These are the standard templates I use on my projects and demo in workshops. there is a instruction sheed on how to use them and there are 14 day and 30 day XLSX workbooks. I do not support them. You are welcome to modify as you wish.
- 14 Day Sprint Timeline Diagrams: These diagrams provide a quick reference for the activities that happen in a Sprint. These are based on current Scrum thinking (books, articles) and my experience running Scrum projects.
