Agile Workspace

Sprints, epics, estimation, retrospectives — ways of working honed in software development, brought into your everyday task management. You don’t have to brace for the jargon: it’s designed so you pick it up naturally as you go.

Why agile

Just listing your to-dos makes it hard to see priorities and the road ahead once the pile grows. The agile mindset restores that visibility with simple tools — box things off by period, break the big stuff into pieces, estimate and look back. Nyask bundles these into a workspace, in a form you can handle even if you’re not an engineer.

Building blocks

Sprint

A unit that boxes off “this far for now” by period. As the period runs, you watch how far you’ve gotten.

Epic

A big theme like “make this happen this year.” Gather the related tasks under it to hold the whole picture.

Version

A bundle of “what ships by the next milestone.” Tie your work to a goal.

Area

A split like “work” vs. “home.” Partition your to-dos by category.

Each of these is just extra information added to your usual tasks. While you’re not using agile, it stays out of view and only steps forward when you need it — so you can adopt it little by little, without feeling boxed in.

Save the views you use

Views you reach for often — “only the unfinished in this sprint,” “important only” — can be saved with a name. Pull one up with a tap and work through it laid out like a board, so you’re not re-filtering from scratch every time.

AI supports estimation & retros

Pointing estimates and drafting the retrospective at the end of a sprint are things Nyall (AI) can help draft. It proposes based on past results and what’s in the sprint, easing the burden of writing from a blank page. As always, the proposals come in for you to confirm before they land.

Every agile piece is built on Tasks / Items too. Starting from the Item basics makes the connections easier to see.
