Event Details

Scrum:  A hands on look at Scrum for Team System.

Session Abstract:

In this session James Brett will be introducing  Conchango's Scrum for Team System (SFTS) plug-in for tracking a Scrum project.

Tracking progress is an essential part of Scrum as is making this progress visible. We can use a number of tools to help automate this process however, we must remember that using a Scrum tool does not mean we are doing Scrum AND that Scrum requires no tools to run successfully.

With that said, SFTS can take some of the pain out of the administrative duties of the Scrum master for those that are using VSTS as their work item repository. We will walk through creating a SFTS project, entering Sprint planning data, burning down a sprint and completing the release, and look at how SFTS automagically produces our Scrum artefacts such as the Sprint and Product Burndown charts.
