Story

The story describes the product owner requirement, risk or bug which must be implemented in the project.
In ScrumDesk, every story has:

Id, that uniquely identifies the story
Subject, short name of the story
Description, more requirement details
Importance, the level of product owner requirement demand
Effort value, relative size of story in story points. Estimated value can be selected only from the best values obviously used in scrum method.
Remaining contains number of days necessary to complete the story.
Operator, team member responsible for the story implementation
State of the story is indicated using color bar in the left top corner. Clicking it you will change story state.
Tasks, every story can have multiple tasks or steps needed to be done to complete the story. Every task has its own state (the same meanings as story state) and remaining time required to task’s completion. Tasks can be processed in parallel by more team members. When you use tasks, remaining value of the parent story will be counted from these tasks. In this case, you will not be able to enter story’s remaining value directly.
Sprint is an iteration in which stories are included. It represents a time box in which story will be developed.
Release gives you information about a date when customer starts use this story in product release version. Release can be shipped after each sprint or it can include stories from more sprints.
