A backlog file contains project names (E-commerce Platform) followed by a hierarchical list of segments, groups, tasks and subtasks.

Each task includes a duration in minutes (40m), hours (1h, 1h30), or days (0.5d).

Tasks can also include the following properties inside brackets :

• Developer name in PascalCase (Mike)
• Phase number (~1)
• Sprint number (!1)
• Completion percentage (80%)
• Status name in snake-case (done)

Sprint reports

# John

## 2025-07-28

### Done

A sprint report file starts with either :

• The developer name in PascalCase (# John), followed by the first sprint starting date (## 2025-07-28);
• The sprint starting date (# 2025-07-28), followed by the first developer name in PascalCase (## John).

Each sprint report contains two main sections :

• what has been completed during this sprint (### Done);
• what will be done in the next sprint (### Next).

Each section lists project names followed by a hierarchical list of segments, groups and tasks.

A task always ends with a list of working days in brackets, optionally including durations (Monday 2h, Tuesday, Monday#2).

If some tasks of a given workday don't have explicit durations, the remaining working time is evenly distributed among them.

Installation

Install the DMD 2 compiler (using the MinGW setup option on Windows).

Build the executable with the following command line :

dmd -m64 prism.d

Command line

prism {workday duration} {minimum duration factor} {medium duration factor} {maximum duration factor} INPUT_FOLDER/ OUTPUT_FOLDER/

Example

prism 8h 1 1.5 2 INPUT_FOLDER/ OUTPUT_FOLDER/

LibreOffice Calc TSV import

• Character set : Unicode (UTF-8)
• Separated by : Tab
• String delimiter : "
• Evaluate formulas : ☑️

Limitations

• Colons and square brackets must be escaped inside task names.
• Backlog and sprint tasks are independent.
