Index Cards

Small cards, often called story cards, hold user stories and move through the team's workflow to show progress. They make work visible and transparent, helping the team spot risks or problems early.

Key Points

  • Each card represents a single user story with a brief description and acceptance criteria.
  • Used on a visible board (physical or digital) to track status across workflow steps.
  • Supports the 3Cs of user stories: Card, Conversation, and Confirmation.
  • Improves transparency and early detection of blockers, bottlenecks, and dependencies.

Example

A Scrum team writes a user story on an index card and places it in the To Do column. As work starts, the card is moved to In Progress. During stand-up, the team notices several cards piling up in Code Review, revealing a bottleneck and prompting them to reassign reviewers.

PMP Example Question

What is the primary purpose of Index Cards in an agile project?

  1. To capture all detailed requirements and obtain formal sign-off.
  2. To represent user stories and visualize their status, improving transparency and early issue detection.
  3. To track hours, costs, and budget variances.
  4. To serve as formal change requests approved by the CCB.

Correct Answer: B — Represent user stories and make progress visible

Explanation: Index cards (story cards) are visual placeholders for user stories that flow across the board, increasing transparency and enabling early discovery of issues.

AI for Project Managers — Build Plans Faster, Lead Better

Turn messy inputs into structured project plans in minutes. If you are a project manager tired of spending hours on documentation, this course shows you how to use AI to work faster while staying fully in control.

This is not a generic AI course. You will learn how to use AI as a practical co-pilot to build real project artifacts—charters, WBS, schedules, risk registers, and executive reports—using structured, reliable prompt frameworks.

You will also learn how to keep your project aligned across scope, schedule, cost, and risk, and how to interpret performance data like Earned Value Management to support better decisions and communication.

Everything is designed for immediate use. You get ready-to-use prompt templates and workflows you can apply right away in your projects. Watch the video to see how it works and start building your first AI-supported project plan.
