How to Use This in Single team
Open the Scrum board in ClickUp
Click Use This Template to add the board to your Workspace. It loads as a List with a Board view already split into the five Scrum columns and a Sprint folder enabled.
Fill and rank the backlog
Add user stories to the Backlog column and set the Story Points Custom Field on each. Drag to reorder so the most important work sits at the top.
Start a sprint
Open the Sprints panel, set a two-week date range, and pull ranked backlog cards into the sprint until the point total matches your team’s velocity. The sprint boundary keeps in-sprint work separate from the backlog.
Work the board with WIP limits
Move cards left to right as work progresses. Each column shows a WIP limit; when In Progress hits its cap, the count turns red, a signal to finish work before starting more.
Watch the burndown
Open the burndown widget on the Sprint Dashboard. It plots remaining points against the ideal line automatically as cards reach Done, so you see mid-sprint whether you are on track.
Who This Is For
Single Scrum teams
One team of roughly five to nine people running fixed-length sprints who want a board that enforces good habits.
New Scrum teams
Groups adopting Scrum who benefit from WIP limits and a burndown being set up for them rather than configured from scratch.
Teams replacing sticky notes
Groups moving off a physical or whiteboard board who want the same flow with automatic point and burndown tracking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The board is free to add to any ClickUp Workspace, including the Free Forever plan. Sprints and burndown automation are available on the free tier, with higher automation and Dashboard limits on paid plans.
Each column shows a work-in-progress cap. When the number of cards in a column reaches the limit, the count turns red, signaling the team to finish in-progress work before pulling in more. It is a visual nudge, not a hard block.
Yes. The burndown reads live story points and task statuses, so it redraws as cards reach Done. You never have to rebuild it manually for a standup or review.
