We are pleased to announce that ScrumEdge 2.0 is release today. We have added many new features in this release and resolved some issues reported by our users. Some of the major changes in this release are listed below.
New intuitive Setup Wizard
We have done away with the old Setup Wizard and built a new one from scratch. The new Setup Wizard is easier to use and has write ups for each step to assist users. Check out the demo video for the Setup Wizard to find out more.
ScrumMasters can be assigned tasks on sprints
ScrumEdge now allows ScrumMasters to be assigned to tasks in a sprint. When ScrumMasters sign in they should see a ‘Sprint' Log’ tab on their Dashboard. If they are assigned any tasks on the current sprint they should be able to report their effort on each task under the ‘Sprint Log’ tab.
New Team Member dashboard
We have changed the dashboard for Team Members so they can view charts for any sprint assigned to the project they are working on. This will allow Team Members to view a project’s details from the very beginning.
Ability to zoom charts on the dashboard
All ScrumEdge users can now zoom any chart on their dashboard. This feature is particularly useful for teams with long sprint durations.
Interface Updates
We have updated the way projects, sprints, stories, users, tasks, issues and retrospectives are added and modified. In ScrumEdge beta all additions and modifications were made through pop-up dialogs and many users reported issues when using IE 7 and IE 8. ScrumEdge 2.0 no longer uses pop-up dialogues. Check out the demo video for the Tasks page to see the new addition and modification mechanism
More AJAX – Faster Processing
ScrumEdge 2.0 uses a lot more AJAX so you will see very few post backs. This has made processing faster and should improve the overall user experience.
Take ScrumEdge 2.0 for a test drive and let us know what you think. We always encourage user feedback as it helps us make ScrumEdge a better online scrum management tool for you. You can send us your feedback at info@scrumedge.com or from our ScrumEdge Feedback page.
