Feature request: Something similar like sprints

[Tost69]

Hello,

first a big thank you for your work, I like Deck a lot and started to organize several projects with it.

I've come to realize that a longer list of cards gets a bit confusing. One and only possibility to sort cards is the card order itself. It would be nice to have something like subtasks or better the possibility to have a backlog and group cards (similar to a scrum sprint but not as complex as Jira).

Is this possible or does this requirement go beyond the scope?

Thanks and kind regards, Tom

Isn't that similar to the swimlane support requested in #32 ?

@juliushaertl No I don't think so. I guess it's more about adding a weight field to each card, group cards together by special labels, and then have some kind of burn down charts, or statistics, of how much of some sprint is already done.

[juliusknorr]

Well grouping cards by label is exactly how https://github.com/nextcloud/deck/issues/32#issuecomment-297811818 is proposing it for the swimlane feature. I can't find any request for new values like a weight, charts/stats in the OP but feel free to create separate issues for that. :wink:

The swimlane stuff is imho not a good fit for implementing it on top of the grouping/labeling, because you can add an arbitrary amount of labels to each task, but a task can only be in one lane. Way better to just create a new board for each lane, and name it accordingly. Or have something like a group of boards / subboards. But then again, why make simple thinks more complicated without good reason?

So, I guess what I suggested is not related with the swimlanes. And as for sprints, I guess it's a quite basic feature of sprints, or whatever you want to call a group of tasks with the same label, to see how far you got already with implementing it, ideally in some graphical view.

btw: "OpenTask-Support" -> https://github.com/nextcloud/tasks/issues/159 - Markdown for subtasks. I use this kind of subtasks with OpenTask on mobile phone for my shopping list.

See also "Integrate with Nextcloud CalDAV API" -> https://github.com/nextcloud/deck/issues/15 With this Feature Request a kind of Subtasks could get possible also in Deck

It could be something like milestones.

Before I open a new issue and because backlog was mentioned here: A dedicated backlog feature might be interesting too.

• have a list of cards which is not visible by default - hence does not block your view
• on click, view this backlog list and move cards from it to the lists

The backlog could be like the archive, however it shall be visible additionally to the normal view, not instead of.

This seems to be similar to the proposal I posted back in January #1485
