Sprint Nexus

Sprint planning that understands
incidents and reliability work

Sprint Nexus brings kanban boards and sprint planning directly into your observability platform. Tasks are automatically linked to incidents, postmortem action items become cards, and reliability work is tracked alongside feature development. See your team's velocity, incident interrupt rate, and reliability investment ratio in one view.

Kanban Boards & Sprint Planning

Drag, drop, plan, built for engineering workflows

Sprint Nexus provides customizable kanban boards with columns for Backlog, To Do, In Progress, Review, and Done. Create sprints with date ranges, assign story points, set priorities, and track progress with burndown charts. Boards can be organized by team, service, or project, and they understand the difference between planned work and incident-driven interrupt work.

  • ✓
    Customizable columns, define your own workflow stages beyond the defaults to match your team's process
  • ✓
    Sprint burndown charts, track velocity with burndown and burnup charts that distinguish planned vs. interrupt work
  • ✓
    Story point estimation, assign points, track velocity per sprint, and forecast future sprint capacity

Incident-Linked Tasks

Postmortem action items become sprint cards automatically

When a postmortem is completed, its action items are automatically created as Sprint Nexus cards with the right priority, assignee, and deadline. Each card links back to the incident, postmortem, and root cause, giving engineers full context without leaving the board. Track the percentage of postmortem action items completed per sprint to measure your reliability investment.

  • ✓
    Auto-created from postmortems, action items from Postmortem Builder become Sprint Nexus cards instantly
  • ✓
    Incident context on every card, click any incident-linked card to see the full incident timeline and root cause
  • ✓
    Reliability work ratio, track what percentage of sprint capacity goes to reliability vs. feature work

Team Velocity & Reliability Tracking

Measure velocity and reliability investment in one place

Sprint Nexus tracks team velocity across sprints with charts that break down completed story points by category: feature work, reliability improvements, tech debt, and incident response. See how much time your team spends on interrupt work versus planned work, and track whether your reliability investment is reducing incidents over time.

  • ✓
    Velocity trending, chart velocity over the past 10 sprints with breakdowns by work category
  • ✓
    Interrupt rate tracking, measure unplanned work from incidents as a percentage of sprint capacity
  • ✓
    DORA metrics integration, deployment frequency and change failure rate feed into Sprint Nexus dashboards
