Planning

With ScrumDesk you can develop product in parallel. Stories for more releases can be developed in one sprint. This approach is not compliant with scrum method, but we think that sometimes this practice is helpful.

For planning process ScrumDesk uses a unique planning matrix solution. You can imagine your sprints and releases as the matrix where:

• sprint are in rows,
• releases are in columns,
• stories are in cells.

Planning view is divided in two parts both containing stories list.  You can choose sprint or release for any part.

Story is assigned to the sprint or release simply by using drag and drop between these  lists. Scrum Master or Product owner can create new stories in place, they can copy or delete selected stories.

Click on pane toolbars to display filter dialog for easier manipulation with stories.

Sprint

ScrumDesk calculates sprint occupation and number of available storypoints that can be developed in the sprint.

User can write notes during daily meetings.

Files can be attached to sprint. This way ScrumDesk provides an access to them anywehre for every team member.

Release

Releases in ScrumDesk is described by name, release date and description. ScrumDesk calculates release overview based on release stories details (number of stories, total effort in storypoints, percent completed).

Files can be attached to release as additional information. These files can be stored in project team database and they are accessible anywhere.
