The Sign Up Process Explained

Who should sign up?

Only ScrumMasters are required to sign up for ScrumEdge. When a ScrumMaster signs up, they are set up as Administrators for their company’s ScrumEdge account. Administrators can add as many team members and other ScrumMasters as their plan allows. The basic plan available to all users allows Administrators to add up to 5 users.

What should team members do?

If you are a team member and would like to sign up, simply contact your ScrumEdge Administrator so they can add you to their ScrumEdge account as a team member.

How to find out who your ScrumEdge Administrator is

To find out who your ScrumEdge Administrator is, click on the Sign Up button on the main page to bring up the Sign Up window. Type in your company name in the selection box to see if it already exists. If you can’t find your company name in this selection box, then you don’t have a ScrumEdge Administrator yet. At this time you may sign up as your company’s ScrumEdge Administrator.

If you company name exists in the selection box, simply fill in the rest of the fields and click the Sign Up button. This will send your ScrumEdge Administrator an email with your sign up request. Once your ScrumEdge Administrator adds you as a new user, you should receive a confirmation email.

How does the ScrumEdge Administrator add a team member?

ScrumEdge Administrators can add new users, both ScrumMasters and Team Members, from the Users page. Details about adding users can be found on the ScrumEdge Help Topics page under the Users label.

Stakeholder Role Added

Some users recently asked that we add a new role for Stakeholders. This role has now been introduced in ScrumEdge.

How this role works

Stakeholders can't change any project or sprint related information. The purpose of introducing this role is to allow stakeholders to view all project and sprint related information, in the interest of transparency.

Stakeholders can view the following in ScrumEdge:

• Burndown Charts
• Burn Rate Charts
• Budget Charts
• Upcoming Demos
• The issue log
• Product backlogs
• Sprint logs
• Sprint retrospectives
• The ScrumEdge Community

Assigning Tasks to ScrumMasters

ScrumEdge now allows tasks to be assigned to ScrumMasters. Many users had requested this feature as their ScrumMasters work on actual tasks through the course of a sprint.

Before you can assign tasks to a ScrumMaster, you will first have to add them to a Scrum Team. The following steps will help you do so:

• Click on the Projects link on the left to bring up the Projects page
• Click theicon next to the Project you want to add the ScrumMaster as a team member to bring up the Edit Project window
• Add the ScrumMaster to your Scrum Team and click the Update button

Once you have followed these steps, you should be able to assign sprint tasks to the ScrumMaster.
