Software Scope Planner

Help and contact

Software scope in five steps. Everything below is also in the app under More → How it works.

Getting started

  1. 01

    Create a project

    Tap “New project”, give it a name, a client and the estimate unit. Start blank or from one of the three templates, or tap “See an example” to explore a finished project.

  2. 02

    Add modules and stories

    Add modules (epics), then user stories inside them: a title, “As a … I want … so that …”, acceptance criteria, priority, value, effort and an optimistic and cautious estimate.

  3. 03

    Prioritise

    In Priorities, tap a story to move it between Must, Should, Could and Won't have. Switch to Value × effort to see quick wins and stories to reconsider.

  4. 04

    Check the estimate

    The Estimate tab adds everything up by module, by priority and for three scenarios. Set a rate and a contingency in the project settings for an indicative cost in pounds.

  5. 05

    Agree and export

    In History, save a baseline at each sign-off and compare versions. Use the export button for the PDF, Markdown or CSV specification.

Good to know

Codes
Stories are numbered US-001, US-002 … and modules M01, M02 …. A deleted code is never used again, so references in documents stay unambiguous.
Ready stories
A story counts as ready when it has at least one acceptance criterion and an estimate. The progress bar on each project shows how many are ready.
Reasons for changes
Write a reason in the story editor before saving, or add it later to any entry in the history.
Search
Search finds projects and stories by text, #tag and dates such as 18/10/2026, 18 Oct 2026 or Oct 2026.
Backup
More → Backup and data saves a JSON file through the share sheet or into a folder you choose. Import adds the projects or replaces all data; both can be undone straight away.
Deleting
Deleted stories, modules, baselines and projects can be restored with “Undo” in the message that appears. “Delete all data” removes everything from the device.

Contact

Questions, feedback, a bug or a privacy request: write to [email protected]. Please mention the app version (currently 1.0.0) and your Android device. We read every message.

The app does not send anything itself, so we cannot see your projects. If a problem concerns a project, you can attach a backup or an exported file to your email yourself.
