I have made some additions to my agenda commands to produce a
Scrum-Board for the current file or a defined file.

My status for the Board are:

TODO - all open tasks
PROG - all tasks currently in progress
DONE - all done tasks
IDEA - all tasks in the backlog

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
        ("W" . "Work queries")
        ("Ws" . "Scrum Boards"
         ;; all open tasks
         ((todo "TODO"
                ((org-agenda-files '("Work.org"))
                 (org-agenda-overriding-header "All open tasks:")
                 (org-agenda-todo-keyword-format "")
                 (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down))))
          ;; all tasks currently in progress
          (todo "PROG"
                ((org-agenda-files '("Work.org"))
                 (org-agenda-overriding-header "All tasks in progess:")
                 (org-agenda-todo-keyword-format "")
                 (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down))))
          ;; product backlog
          (todo "IDEA"
                ((org-agenda-files '("Work.org"))
                 (org-agenda-todo-keyword-format "")
                 (org-agenda-overriding-header "Product Backlog:")))
          ;; all done tasks
          (todo "DONE"
                ((org-agenda-files '("Work.org"))
                 (org-agenda-overriding-header "All done tasks:")
                 (org-agenda-todo-keyword-format "")
                 (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down)))))))

So if you like to produce the Scrum-Board for the current file

C-c < a W s

or for the given file 'Work.org'

C-c a W s

You can also tag your sprints if you like. I have very good experience
with that approach for multiple projects at the same time.
