Using Gemini with an Agile/Scrum methodology? Here’s a quick check list of things you need to do to get up and running quickly.
Project Setup
Create a Project for the software development being managed and set up your components as required.
Next ensure that your Versions are set up to match your Sprints (Project Administration -> Versions):
Note that you should allocated Start and Release dates for each version (Sprint).
Sprint Planning
The easy (and fun) part is actually planning what work items (issues) go into your Sprints. This is very simple in Gemini because you can quickly filter your issue base and allocate via drag-drop using the Planner feature:
Note how the Planner is influenced by what items you have filtered by: even the axis depth can be controlled to show more and less data elements.
Some tips on actual work items and selecting them for Sprints:
- Allocate Start and Due dates to issues to help people remember the order of their work items
- Allocate Estimated Effort to each issue and record actual time logs after work is complete
- Close each work item (issue) when it is completed (this means changing issue status to CLOSED)
