## Agile Methodologies

Agile methodologies includes a group of software development methods such as Scrum, Kanban or Extreme programming. They’re all based on the idea that requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams.

We’ll look at how you can use Planio for one of these methodologies.

## What you can do with Planio's Agile App?

Here’s what it will look like once it’s set up:

  - see all the sprint items on one board

  - drag-n-drop items or update them on the board

  - plan your sprints and create issue backlogs

  - generate burndown charts, cumulative flow charts, velocity charts and more

## Getting Setup

First, create a new project in Planio.

Then, make sure that the Agile app is activated. Go to the Apps tab and install the Agile app.

We have to set up trackers for each item on the board. In this case, we'll create trackers for User Stories, Bugs and Chores. You can adjust this for whatever approach you're using.

We also have to create a Status for each column on the board. In our case, we'll create Backlog, Not Started, In Progress and Done. You can create extra columns for categories such as Testing, Deployment depending on your situation.
