Mendix Scrum Board is Annoyingly Slow and Pushes Cards Back

1

 My experience with mendix Scrum Board is very unpleasant. The board itself loads quite slowly. In addition to that, when I push cards, I need to wait for a few seconds before pushing the next one. Otherwise it will just get pushed back by mendix automatically. And there is a lack of batching processing problem like batch assignment or batch moving. I want to share this to see some other users' comments on this.

Mendix Scrum Board Issues

  • Slow Board Loading

    • The entire Scrum Board UI takes several seconds to load.

    • This affects user productivity during sprint planning and backlog grooming.

    • Likely caused by unoptimized front-end rendering or large data fetches.

  • Delayed Card Movement

    • After moving a card, there’s a required wait time before moving another.

    • If cards are moved too quickly, the backend sync doesn’t complete, and the card is reverted to its original position.

    • This indicates poor async handling or server-side debounce issues.

  • No Batch Operations

    • No support for bulk actions like:

      • Moving multiple cards across sprints or statuses.

      • Assigning multiple items to a developer.

    • Leads to repetitive manual actions and time wastage.

  • Inefficient Server Sync

    • Every card move triggers an individual server call.

    • No batching or background queue to optimize these operations.

    • Causes high latency in large teams or projects.

  • Lack of Feedback or Progress Indicators

    • No loading spinner or progress indicator after a card is moved.

    • Users often assume the action was successful, only to see the card snap back.

  • Browser Resource Usage

    • Board becomes noticeably slower on older machines or browsers.

    • High memory/CPU usage while dragging and dropping cards suggests poor DOM performance.
