Some time ago, to be precise may 13th 2011, my collegue René van Osnabrugge posted the initial version of the Excel Template on “Managing your sprint backlog easier with Excel”.
Recently I have used it again and found time to provide some minor polishing!
Please visit the original post for directions on using it.
An updated version of the Excel Template can be found Progress in Color – Template
