FAQPage Schema
How do I organize and sync my project backlog with GitHub issues?

You can organize and sync your backlog by managing items across sprints and pools, then optionally creating or updating GitHub issues. The system reads your backlog state from .gse files and applies status summaries to keep teams aligned.

What is the best way to track sprint tasks and filter them by artefact type?

Tracking sprint tasks is handled by grouping items into sprint pools and filtering by artefact type. The system auto-derives item types from descriptions, allowing you to maintain a living sprint plan for coherent project execution.

Can I use .gse files to manage my agile task pool without external dependencies?

Yes, you can manage an agile task pool using .gse files without external dependencies. The backlog state is read directly from these files to display items, infer types, and provide plan-checks, while GitHub synchronization remains an optional feature.

How does automatic artefact type derivation work for backlog items?

Automatic artefact type derivation works by inferring the category from the text of the item descriptions. This allows the system to automatically classify tasks within your backlog, streamlining the filtering and sprint planning process.

Does backlog synchronization update existing GitHub issues or only create new ones?

Backlog synchronization handles both creating new GitHub issues and updating existing ones. It reads the current backlog state from .gse files and applies the changes to GitHub, ensuring your development tracking remains consistent across platforms.
