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.
