3. Define your project
After a few seconds will be a new project with the default name “Project *17*” was created. In this step, we will define our project.
Sprint length
The Scrum method split development time in timeboxes called Sprint. Sprint is typically 30 calendar days long. ScrumDesk is using working days. In the RSS Reader example, we will use 10 working days sprint length.
Bug tracking
ScrumDesk simplifies access to the web bug tracking systems by web browser integration. We don’t want to develop a new bug tracking system. We prefer integration.
For the RSS Reader project, we will use as bug tracking system ScrumDesk forum web pages.
Project documentation home page
Every project needs some kind of documentation. ScrumDesk integrates views on your web-based documentation system (Microsoft SharePoint or some wiki system).
Enter www.scrumdesk.com as a project documentation web server.
