ScrumEdge groups users by company name. Once you have signed up you will automatically be assigned to your company. Every user you add will also be assigned to your company automatically.
The first time you sign in, you will be taken to the ScrumEdge setup wizard. This wizard will help you build your scrum team, create your first project, add stories to your product backlog and create your first sprint. After running the wizard, you will need to add tasks for your first sprint.
The dashboard is the first page a user sees once they select a project. It acts as a central control panel which allows the user to get a clear picture of a sprint's progress at a glance and gain vital information regarding the team productivity.
In order to view individual progress will need to select a team member from the drop-down menu. The system will show the burn rate, burn down and budget chart for the selected team member.
The dashboard has a snapshot section which gives users a brief of the entire project. Among other things, you can see your selected sprint's progress, it's team members and the number of stories assigned to the sprint.
Click the number of stories link to see the number of tasks assigned to the story and it's status.
The burn rate section charts the average number of hours a team burns over the length of the sprint relative to the required burn rate calculated by ScrumEdge.
The budget chart section charts how a team consumes its budget over the length of the sprint relative to the planned budget consumption calculated by ScrumEdge.
You will see a message that says "No data to display" when none of your team members have added any data for the sprint. This typically happens on the first day of a new sprint.
Only Team Members and ScrumMasters can add issues.
To add an issue click on the icon to bring up the add issues window. Enter an issue description and click on the "save" button. Click the "cancel" button to close the window without saving.
The Product Backlog is the master list of all functionality desired in the product. When a project is initiated there is no comprehensive, time-consuming effort to write down all foreseeable tasks or requirements. Typically, a Product Owner writes down everything obvious, which is almost always more than enough for a first sprint. The Product Backlog is then allowed to grow and change as more is learned about the product and its customers.
The Product Owner shows up at the sprint planning meeting with the prioritized product backlog and describes the top items to the team. The team then determines which items they can complete during the coming sprint. The team then moves items from the Product Backlog to the Sprint Backlog. In doing so they expand each product backlog item into one or more Sprint Backlog tasks so they can effectively share work during the sprint. Conceptually, the team starts at the top of the prioritized product backlog list and draws a line after the lowest of the high priority items they feel they can complete.
Only ScrumMasters and Administrators can add stories to the Product Backlog. Click on the User Stories link in the "tools" menu to bring up the user stories page.

The Sprint Backlog is a list of tasks that have been committed for delivery by the scrum team. Items on the Sprint Backlog are drawn from the Product Backlog by the team (based on priorities set by the Product Owner as well as the team's estimation of the time it will take to complete the list of features)
It is critical that the team selects the items and size of the Sprint Backlog. Since the team will be committing to completing the tasks they must be the ones to choose what they are committing to.
During the Sprint ScrumEdge maintains the Sprint Backlog by updating it to reflect which tasks are completed and how long the team thinks it will take to complete the tasks that remain. The estimated work remaining in the sprint is calculated daily and graphed, resulting in the burndown, budget and burn rate charts.
You can view a team's Sprint Backlog by clicking the icon in the Snapshot box.
ScrumMasters can also open the Sprint Backlog from the Tasks page by clicking on the icon.
Team members can also view their Sprint Backlog by clicking the icon on the Sprint Log tab.
Optional tasks are highlighted in green on the Sprint Backlog. This are tasks that the team would like to work on but has not committed as part of the sprint deliverables.
The sprint log can only be viewed by team members and ScrumMasters working on a sprint. The sprint log lists all tasks that have been assigned to a team member. This is where team members log the time they spend on each task every day.
At the end of each day team members need to log the time they spend on each task into the sprint log. For each task team members need to enter actual time spent on the task (under actual) and estimated time required to complete the task (under to do). Once a task is complete, the team members need to enter "0" under the 'to do' column. Click the "save log" button to save the information that has been entered.
Tasks that are added after the start of a sprint are listed in orange. These are tasks that the team member didn't estimate for during sprint planning.
Optional tasks are highlighted in green on the sprint log. This are tasks that the team member would like to work on but has not committed as part of the sprint deliverables.

If you see a message that says 'You Have No Active Sprints' it means that you have not been assigned any tasks in the current sprint. Once a ScrumMaster assigns you tasks in the current sprint, you will start seeing your Sprint Log.
