Automatic sprint planning

Your next sprint, planned in one click.

Rundown plans the whole sprint for you: every issue on the right person’s free days, in your Jira order, sized by its estimate and fitted around leave, holidays and work already planned. Review it on the board, accept it, and push it back to Jira.

How it works

From an empty sprint to a plan in Jira

Four steps, and the first plan is ready before the planning meeting starts.

Open the sprint you are about to plan

The planner keeps people as rows and days as columns. Switch it to Sprint and it shows exactly the sprint window, with the sprints straight from Jira.

  1. 1Month or Sprint. Sprint mode fits the board to the sprint’s dates, from start to end.
  2. 2Show the boards you run. Pick one board or several. A scrum master with three stand-ups switches between them in one click, and saves the selection as a view.
  3. 3The sprint on the timeline. The running sprint is a band above the days, so you always see where it starts and ends.
  4. 4Only this sprint’s work. The backlog narrows to the issues in the sprint, with their Jira priority and estimate. Unestimated ones are flagged before you plan.
What it takes into account

A plan you can actually trust

The suggestion is deterministic: the same sprint and the same team give the same plan, and every choice it makes is explained.

Your order, not ours

Issues are planned by priority then Jira rank, by rank alone, or by priority alone. You choose, per plan.

Real capacity

Work schedules, part-time days, leave, public holidays and work already planned elsewhere all count before anything is placed.

Fair with missing estimates

Remaining estimate first, then the original, then story points. Unestimated tickets share what is left, capped at the sprint’s median, and the plan tells you the numbers.

Re-plan without the reshuffle

Run it again after a Jira sync and it keeps every entry that still fits. You see what moves, what is added and what drops out.

Your decisions stay put

Lock an entry you placed by hand and every later suggestion plans around it.

Several boards at once

Plan every board in view in one go. Someone on two teams appears under each, with one capacity across both.
