Agile Development 2.0 offers a few usability
enhancements over Agile Development 1.0.
Important:  
Agile Development 1.0 and its features such as Sprint burndown chart and release burndown chart are deprecated and no longer available. [Agile Development 2.0](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/m8zVqq9WOmDkiCX2McEJ5w "ServiceNow Agile Development 2.0 provides an agile software development environment for product-based or project-based efforts, using the Scrum framework. Implement a pure agile approach over the entire life cycle of a product, or a hybrid approach using agile methods within a traditional project structure.") provides the latest experience for supporting your Agile work methodology.

## Manage and groom your backlog {#usability-enhancements__section_bj1_gtr_3gb}

Flexible backlog definition
:   Agile Development 2.0 enables
    you to define backlogs. For example, you can create different backlogs by products or
    teams, or combine backlogs for one or more epics.

Backlog grooming
:   Agile Development 2.0
    provides an
    advanced view for your backlog, where you can drag stories to rank them. Also, you can
    view backlogs by epics and get analytics about the overall backlog situation. For
    example, analytics of stories without acceptance criteria.

## Enhanced sprint planning experience {#usability-enhancements__section_r3t_ztr_3gb}

Agile Development 2.0 provides a single view for your backlog and sprints. Drag stories from the backlog to sprints to perform sprint planning in an interactive manner.  
Note:  
Though the Planning Board in Agile Development 1.0 has not been deprecated, you can use the Sprint Planning tab in Agile Development 2.0. For release planning, use the Backlog tab in which you can multi-select stories, and assign them to a release.

## Sprint Tracking {#usability-enhancements__section_mlg_y5r_3gb}

Agile Development 2.0 leverages the
visual task boards feature to track the progress of stories in a sprint. It also provides
the ability to create scrum tasks from the tracking view.  
Note:  
The Task Progress Board UI does not appear as a tab in Agile Development 2.0. You may type Task Progress Bar in search panel in navigator to invoke the UI, for tracking the progress of scrum tasks.
