Scrumboard

A Scrumboard is a visual board the Scrum Team uses to plan Sprint work and monitor its progress. It typically includes columns such as To Do, In Progress, Testing, and Done, and tasks move across these columns as they are started, verified, and completed. By making work visible and allowing the team to manage it themselves, the Scrumboard reinforces transparency, collaboration, and self-organization.

Key Points

  • Used each Sprint to plan tasks and track daily progress.
  • Common columns: To Do, In Progress, Testing, Done; items flow left to right.
  • Supports transparency, inspection, and adaptation during events like the Daily Scrum.
  • Encourages self-organizing behavior and shared ownership; can be physical or digital.

Example

During a two-week Sprint, the team breaks selected Product Backlog items into tasks and places them in the To Do column on the Scrumboard. As developers start a task, they move it to In Progress. When coding is finished, the task goes to Testing for verification. After tests pass, it moves to Done. The Scrum Master reviews the board with the team at the Daily Scrum to spot bottlenecks and rebalance work.

ICS/OT Incident Response Drills and Exercises

An incident response plan is only a theory until the people who must use it have run it under pressure. This course helps OT engineers, operations leaders, IT responders, and security teams turn a plan on paper into a tested capability.

Define safe states and manual fallback before an incident forces the decision. Build escalation paths, tabletop exercises, and scenarios that expose the gaps a document review cannot find.

Then turn the results into evidence: an after-action report, owned improvements, recovery checks, and a drill cadence that keeps the program alive after the exercise ends.
