ClickUp Scrum Workspace Launch — March 23, 2026

Overview

A new ClickUp "Scrum" space was launched on Monday, March 23, 2026, replacing the previous workspace. The change was driven by a virtual ClickUp consultant engaged to simplify workflows, reduce status sprawl, and introduce automations that make the board largely self-managing. The transition was announced during the ^[1].

The goal is a cleaner, more predictable system where the board maintains itself and account managers can plan work weeks or months ahead without manual sprint updates.

Key Changes

1. Simplified Status Set

The previous workspace had accumulated extra statuses over time. The new workspace reduces these to six core statuses:

These six statuses are intended to cover all scenarios. No additional statuses should be added without deliberate team discussion.

2. Locked Main Board View

The primary board view is now fixed and protected. Previously, team members could accidentally modify column configurations, causing inconsistency. The locked view includes:

• Task name
• Created by
• Time estimate
• Time tracked
• Priority
• Due date
• Start date
• Status
• Client
• Assignee

Team members who need additional columns can create their own personal dashboards or views without affecting the shared board.

3. Account Management Folder Workflow

Day-to-day project work will now flow through the Account Management folder rather than a general company backlog. Key points:

• Account managers plan upcoming work (e.g., social content) inside Account Management, potentially months in advance.
• Automations pull tasks into the active sprint when they fall within the sprint date range — no manual migration required.
• This allows forward planning without cluttering the active sprint view.

4. Client Delivery Folder Archiving

Post-launch, Melissa will archive inactive clients from the Client Delivery folder. This keeps the folder focused on active accounts and reduces visual noise for the whole team. The Client Delivery folder is primarily intended for account managers to plan ahead at the client level.

Transition Notes

• The old Scrum space will be archived, not deleted. Melissa and Isalia retain access to the old space for reference if anything appears missing.
• All existing tasks should have been migrated into the new Scrum space prior to the Monday launch.
• The team was advised to expect minimal growing pains — the structure mirrors the old system but with cleaner automation underneath.

Related Decisions

• Design team task naming convention: Hard deadlines must now be included in task names (e.g., [Due Mar 28] Client X — Social Graphics) to improve backlog visibility. Raised by Melissa; directed at Karly and Sebastian when assigning design tasks. See ^[2].
