Exporting Your Backlog and Sprint Data for Stakeholder Reports

Learn how to export your Decuga backlog or sprint board to CSV in one click, and how to use that data to create compelling stakeholder reports in Excel or Google Sheets.

The reporting problem

Stakeholders want data in spreadsheets. Product managers want to copy task lists into slide decks. Engineering leads want to filter and sort by assignee. None of that is easy when your task data lives exclusively inside a project management tool. The usual workaround — manually copying rows into a spreadsheet — is slow, error-prone, and immediately stale.

One-click export

Decuga's CSV export downloads a complete snapshot of your backlog or active sprint in seconds. Every task, status, assignee, label, and story point count is included.

What's in the CSV export

Every exported CSV includes the following columns for each task.

ColumnDescription
Task CodeUnique identifier e.g. PRJ-42
TitleFull task title
StatusCurrent status: TODO, IN_PROGRESS, DONE, etc.
PriorityLOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, or CRITICAL
AssigneeAssigned team member ID (look up in Members tab)
Due DateISO-8601 date YYYY-MM-DD or blank
Story PointsNumeric estimate or blank
LabelsPipe-separated list of tags
SprintSprint ID if in a sprint, blank for backlog
Created AtISO-8601 timestamp of task creation

How to export

Backlog export: open the Backlog tab and click the green Export CSV button in the toolbar, next to the search bar. The file downloads immediately. Sprint export: open the Board tab, select the sprint you want to export from the sprint dropdown, and click Export CSV. The export includes all tasks in that sprint regardless of their current status column.

Open Backlog or Board tab

Navigate to the tab containing the tasks you want to export.

Select the sprint (Board only)

Use the sprint dropdown to pick the right sprint before exporting.

Click Export CSV

The green Export CSV button is in the top toolbar. Click it to download.

Open in Excel or Google Sheets

Import the CSV file and apply your own filters, pivots, and charts.

Using the export in Excel and Google Sheets

In Excel, use Data → From Text/CSV and select the downloaded file. In Google Sheets, use File → Import → Upload. Both tools will auto-detect the column types. From there, use PivotTables (Excel) or pivot charts (Sheets) to aggregate by status, assignee, or priority. Filter by sprint ID to compare sprint snapshots over time.

  • Filter by Status to show stakeholders only DONE tasks for a velocity report
  • Group by Assignee to create a workload report for your 1:1 with each engineer
  • Sort by Due Date to identify tasks at risk of missing their deadline
  • Use Story Points to calculate completion rate vs. planned velocity

Plan requirements

CSV export is available on the Pro plan and above. The Export CSV button is visible but disabled on Free and Starter plans — hovering shows the upgrade prompt. Export includes all tasks at the time of export — sprints and backlog are separate exports.
