How to use it well

iceScrum favors teams that already want to work with stories and sprints. Keep backlog refinement separate from sprint commitment so that unclear ideas do not become promises before the team understands the work.

Refine stories in the backlog before selecting them for a sprint, and keep acceptance criteria visible to the team. Review remaining work during the sprint instead of treating the board as a static plan. Choose between self-hosted Core and the limited hosted plan deliberately.

A few things you might be wondering.

Is iceScrum free?

What does the hosted Free plan allow?
