Best Scrum Software

ClickUp brings sprints into a workspace that also holds docs, goals, time tracking and chat, so a scrum team can keep its backlog, sprint board and meeting notes in one place. Sprint folders group work by iteration, custom fields capture story points, and the board view supports the daily standup while the timeline view shows how sprints sit against other commitments. Automations can move cards when a status changes, which cuts manual board care.

The free plan is generous for small teams that want to try scrum without a budget line, and the Unlimited tier at $9 per user per month adds the storage and integrations most growing teams need. The wide feature set is a strength and a risk, since teams need discipline to keep the workspace tidy.

Price: $9 per user/month (billed annually)

Free plan: Yes

Asana suits scrum teams that work alongside other departments, because the same workspace can hold a sprint board, a marketing calendar and a product roadmap without forcing everyone into one method. Teams plan sprints with sections, custom fields for story points, and a timeline view that shows dependencies between stories.

The free plan covers small teams with basic task management, while the Starter tier at $10.99 per user per month adds the timeline, dashboards and forms that most scrum teams need. Burndown and velocity reporting sit in the Advanced tier, so teams that want those charts from Asana face a higher cost. Asana is a good fit when the priority is shared visibility across teams rather than deep scrum reporting.

monday.com gives scrum teams a visual board where each item carries its status, owner, priority and story points in columns that are easy to scan. Sprints can be set up as groups on a board, with a sprint goal recorded at the top and items moved through stages as work progresses. Automations shift due dates, notify owners and change statuses, which keeps the board honest during a busy sprint without constant manual care.

The free plan covers up to two seats, which suits a trial, while the Basic tier at $9 per seat per month adds unlimited items and viewers. monday.com works best for teams that value a clear, colourful board and simple automations over deep burndown and velocity reporting.

Teamwork suits agencies and consultancies that run sprints for clients, because it pairs sprint boards with time tracking, milestones and client billing in the same project. Teams plan a sprint from a task list, assign owners and due dates, and track logged time against each story, which makes sprint reviews and client reporting simpler. Templates let a team repeat a proven sprint structure across new projects without rebuilding the board each time.

The free plan covers up to five users, which suits a small team testing the tool, while the Grow tier at $9.99 per user per month adds the time tracking, integrations and reporting that client teams rely on. Teamwork earns its place when client work and sprints share the same project.

Wrike gives scrum teams a structured way to plan sprints, with Gantt charts that show how stories and dependencies sit across the sprint dates. Boards, tables and calendars give the team different views of the same work, and workload views show who is overcommitted before the sprint starts, which helps the scrum master balance the load.

The free plan covers small teams with basic task lists, while the Team tier at $9.80 per user per month adds the Gantt charts, dashboards and automations that make Wrike useful for sprint planning. The depth of the tool brings a learning curve, and new users often need training before the sprint board feels natural. Wrike fits teams that want structure, dates and workload planning alongside their sprint board.

Notion suits scrum teams that want their sprint board next to their product docs, meeting notes and retrospective records. A team can build a sprint database with properties for status, owner, story points and sprint number, then view it as a board for standups, a table for backlog grooming and a calendar for sprint dates. Linked docs let the sprint goal, the definition of done and the retrospective notes live beside the work itself.

The free plan covers individuals and small teams, while the Plus tier at $10 per member per month adds unlimited file uploads, longer page history and the permissions that teams need. Notion works best when the priority is a shared knowledge base with sprint tracking inside it.

Smartsheet suits teams that plan sprints in a grid, because the backlog looks like a spreadsheet with rows for stories and columns for status, owner, points and sprint. Card view turns the same data into a board for standups, while Gantt view shows how stories sit against sprint dates and dependencies. Formulas and conditional formatting help the scrum master spot blocked work and overdue items without opening each story.

There is no free plan, but a 30 day trial lets a team test the sprint setup before it commits, and the Pro tier at $9 per member per month adds the viewers, storage and integrations most teams need. Smartsheet fits teams that already think in grids and rows.

Price: $9 per member/month (billed annually)

Trello is the simplest scrum board in this guide, and that simplicity is its strength for small teams. A board holds lists for the backlog, the current sprint and done work, cards carry checklists, due dates and members, and the team moves cards across the board during standups and sprint reviews. Labels and custom fields can mark story points and sprint numbers, and the calendar view shows due dates across the sprint at a glance.

The free plan covers unlimited cards and up to ten boards per workspace, which suits a single scrum team, while the Standard tier at $5 per user per month adds unlimited boards, advanced checklists and custom fields. Trello fits teams that want a light board and a low cost, not a full scrum platform.

Price: $5 per user/month (billed annually)

Airtable suits scrum teams that want a database behind their sprint board, because stories, epics and sprints can live as linked records in related tables. A team can groom the backlog in a grid, run the sprint from a kanban view, check dates on a calendar and review the quarter on a timeline, all from the same data. Interfaces let the scrum master build a focused sprint view for stakeholders without giving them access to the full base.

The free plan covers small teams with basic records, while the Team tier at $20 per user per month adds the record limits, sync integrations and permissions that larger teams need. That price is the highest in this guide, so a team should be sure it needs the database power before it commits. It fits teams that value flexible data over native scrum reports.
