New Feature Release: Feature List and Orangescrum Feature Board

Orangescrum continues to deliver smarter agile project management. With this release, we introduce a powerful enhancement that boosts visibility, structure, and execution speed — the Orangescrum Feature Board and Feature List.

Until now, teams followed a simple hierarchy:

Epic → Stories → Tasks

However, this format often lacked clarity when tracking large deliverables. Therefore, we improved the structure to:

Epic → Feature → Stories → Tasks

As a result, teams can now visualize progress exactly where real value is delivered — at the Feature level.

Previously, we introduced a major enhancement — Epic Board and Epic Approval — which improved visibility and governance at the Epic level. Building on that upgrade, this latest release takes agile delivery a step further with structured feature tracking and better execution alignment.

What’s New in Orangescrum?

Feature List

A dedicated space inside each Epic where teams can create, organize, and manage Features effortlessly.

Orangescrum Feature Board

A visual Kanban-style board that provides real-time status updates, such as:

• New
• In-Progress
• Resolved
• Closed

Because of this visual clarity, stakeholders can instantly identify what’s moving fast, what’s stuck, and what’s completed.

Why This Update Matters

Benefit	Impact
Better breakdown of large deliverables	Simplifies execution of major epics
Clear visibility of functionality progress	Stronger decision-making and reporting
Improved team alignment	Everyone knows the status of each feature
Agile tracking at the right granularity	Not too broad, not too detailed

Ultimately → More transparency ➜ Predictable outcomes ➜ Happy teams & customers

Example Project Hierarchy

To understand the new hierarchy better, consider:

• Project: Mobile Banking App
• Epic: Secure Digital Payments
• Feature: UPI Transaction Workflow

→ Stories & Tasks break down functionality clearly

This structure ensures every part of the project remains aligned from vision → execution → delivery.
