How to Use Creately's Online Scrum Board
Set up your workspace and choose a Scrum board template
Launch Creately, create a new workspace, and pick a Scrum board online from the library. Invite your team as editors so everyone can collaborate in real time.
Add user stories as cards
Document user stories directly on the board by adding them as cards with data fields, attachments, and notes. Use prioritization tags and labels to organize them clearly.
Break down stories into tasks
Split each user story into individual task cards. Place them in the to-do column, adding deadlines, assignees, or checklists using Creately’s shape data panel.
Track progress visually
Move task cards across the digital Scrum board—from to-do → in progress → done—as work progresses. Use color presets, tags, and swimlanes to categorize tasks for better clarity.
Review and collaborate within Creately
Hold sprint reviews right in Creately by using comments, @mentions, and live cursors. Identify blockers, brainstorm solutions on the whiteboard, and update the free scrum board together in real time.
