FAQPage Schema
How do I do sprint planning as a solo developer without team Agile ceremonies?▼

Task sizing for solo dev sprints uses T-shirt categories (S, M, L) to break down work into manageable pieces. This simplified approach helps estimate effort and match tasks to your available energy levels throughout the week.

What is the best way to manage a backlog for ADHD-friendly productivity?▼

ADHD-friendly backlog management maintains a clean, actionable backlog by defining clear 'done' criteria for every task. This simplified workflow uses straightforward states (Backlog, Sprint, In Progress, Done) to track progress without overwhelming process overhead.

Can I use energy-based task matching for my solo development workflow?▼

Yes, this solo dev sprint planning approach works without requiring external project management dependencies. It provides a standalone task management system with decision journaling to track progress and define weekly goals.

Why does defining clear 'done' criteria matter for backlog grooming?▼

Defining clear 'done' criteria during backlog grooming ensures every task has a concrete completion benchmark before entering a sprint. This prevents scope creep and keeps your backlog actionable for solo development work.

How do I track workflow states for solo dev tasks without complex project management software?▼

Solo dev task tracking uses four simple workflow states: Backlog, Sprint, In Progress, and Done. This lightweight system replaces complex project management software, providing clear progress visibility for individual developer sprints.
