I recently created a simple Theme Prioritization Scoring Spreadsheet.  I use this as part of the Certified Scrum Product Owner class that I conduct.

BigVisible Theme Prioritization Scoring Workshop – CSPO Class

Feel free to download and use.  It currently does not weight the relative benefit of implementing a feature (epic, theme or user story) nor the penalty of not implementing though adding the weighting capability is simple enough.

If you are interested in taking an public scrum class with me, check out training.bigvisible.com

I’ve been asked recently to post the Standalone Iteration Tracking Spreadsheet that I created a few years back – and I finally got around to it.  This spreadsheet was first part of a bigger tool that supported backlog management, release reporting, feature tracking etc.  It became incredibly difficult to maintain so I decided to pull key pieces out and made them independent.  This Iteration or Sprint Tracker is intended to be used by ScrumMasters or Project Managers.  It was never intended to be used by the entire team (though you absolutely can) but rather provide a way for the ScrumMaster to actively track task progress and generate real-time reports and diagnostics.  You will see that it provides far more than the simple traditional burndown.  Along with the Advanced Burn-up it also shows the Category Burn-down.  The Category Burndown is intended to show visibility into the progress of specific categories of task – to identify bottlenecks or constraints. more »
