Preliminary version of the Scrum Solution Starter for Project 2010 is available for download!

We have published preliminary version of the Scrum Solution Starter for Project 2010 on MSDN Code gallery https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/P2010Scrum please participate actively in the Discussion to notify us about any issue you may encounter or post any feedback!

This solution starter focuses on the Project 2010 desktop client, and on the individual Scrum team experience.

Scrum is an iterative, incremental methodology for project management often seen in agile software development. Although Scrum was intended for management of software development projects, it can be used to run software maintenance teams, or as a general project/program management approach.

There are 3 main items in Scrum:

  • Product backlog: A product backlog is dynamic—Items may be deleted or added at any time during the project. It is prioritized—Items with the highest priority are completed first. It is progressively refined—Lower priority items are intentionally course-grained.
  • Sprint backlog: A sprint backlog is a negotiated set of items from the product backlog that a team commits to complete during the time box of a sprint. Items in the sprint backlog are broken into detailed tasks for the team members to complete. The team works collaboratively to complete the items in the sprint backlog, meeting each day (during a daily scrum) to share struggles and progress and update the sprint backlog and burn down chart accordingly.
  • Burn down: The sprint burn down chart is a publicly displayed chart showing remaining work in the sprint backlog. Updated every day, it gives a simple view of the sprint progress. It also provides quick visualizations for reference

Supported Scenarios:

A Scrum Master wants to use Project for the basics of running a sprint, including:

  • Collecting and tracking status
  • Managing the product backlog
  • Managing the sprint backlog (and initial iteration planning)
  • Viewing a burn down chart
  • Easily exporting Scrum data to email/other apps

Enjoy!

    Hi When I first installed this everything was working great. Now when I click on "Burndown Graph" nothing happens. Is this a known issue? Mike

    Hi I followed the manual to get started, but even after linking task to sprint (by choosing the sprint in the dropdown list), the sprint backlog remains empty ?? The Product Backlog view contains only the tasks The Key Dates and Milestones view contains only the sprints Can you help me ? Thanks Steve
