Introduction

Scope Keeper is a Jira extension for Scrum teams, which helps tracking changes in the sprint scope and helping teams to stick to the originally agreed scope.
Its main goal is preventing the project scope to drift. It is a simple tool which focuses on this objective.
Scope drift occurs when during a sprint the scope of the work changes in an uncontrolled way. This may lead to delays in delivery, missed deadlines and loss of confidence in sprint goals.
Scope Keeper addresses these issues by making scope changes visible to teams so that they have a tool to prevent such issues.
Scope Keeper has the goal of helping teams sticking to their sprint goals to foster productivity and efficiency.

If you haven’t installed the Scope Keeper application yet please visit the application page on Jira.
Once you have installed the app and added it to your project navigation, you can access the Scope Keeper application by clicking on the application tab.
The first step is to create a snapshot of a sprint at a given point in time.
If there is no current snapshot for the active sprint you can click on the button "Create a snapshot".
Afterwards, you will be able to track all scope-related changes in the current sprint.

Once you have created a snapshot for the current sprint, you will see the following information:

The Sprint Overview panel displays a summary about changes happening in your sprint scope.

Another diagram displays a list of all added, removed and modified issues of the current snapshot.

Scope Keeper includes a view of the individual issues, which were added, modified or deleted since the scope snapshot has been created.

You can click on the button "Show all scopes" to see a list of all scope snapshots which were created so far.
You can then click on an individual scope detail to see the detail information about that scope.
