Hi,
I have added some items to the Product Backlog and I have added tasks to these Items and we have estimated the effort (as a team) and we have assigned the Tasks to members of the team (I have also set each of the team members capacity).
I am looking for guidance on a couple of things as we are new to Scrum and this is our first project using Scrum.
1. This Project is a Migration Project moving from SP2007 to SP2013. We don't have a set of business requirements.
The idea of using Sprints does not really work for us - tasks can span two sprints and we cannot break them down further.
At the end of a two week Sprint we will not have a shippable product and testing will not happen until the very end.
We have an 8 week development window and the System Testing and UAT will happen at the end.
What I have done is as follows - I have all the PBI's and Tasks in one Sprint which runs for 8 weeks (as this is what the hours on the Tasks add up to).
Is this the right way to do this?
2 Secondly, when I added the Tasks and entered values (in hours) for the Original Estimate fields and Remaining Work fields, how can I tell how long the overall Project will take? Within TFS where does it show the total count of hours for all Tasks? I did this manually and I then set the dates on the Sprint.
Looking for a steer or any advice on whether I am doing this the right way? Would appreciate any comments or feedback?
Thanks.
CG
