scrum with emacs org-mode

[thkoch]

Hi,

has anybody some success stories to share how to use org-mode in scrum 
projects? Googling for scrum and org-mode already showed some interesting 
things:

* https://github.com/ianxm/emacs-scrum
* http://www.agilesoc.com/2011/08/08/emacs-org-mode-kanban-pomodoro-oh-my
* http://odisworld.blogspot.ch/search/label/Scrum

However none of the above links are very helpful when it comes to managing 
a project backlog.

If you have some free software tools besides org-mode please tell us for 
comparison!

Best regards, Thomas Koch

Thanks, I will investigate the links.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to help with that. I am quite interested
by ideas as well.

I use Trac¹. It seems extensible enough to fit with most of the scrum
methodology. At least most of the scrum methodology I know
about. Besides, I use the EstimationToolsPlugin² to display burndown
charts.

Hope that helps.

I have made some additions to my agenda commands to produce a
Scrum-Board for the current file or a defined file.

My status for the Board are:

TODO - all open tasks
PROG - all tasks currently in progress
DONE - all done tasks
IDEA - all tasks in the backlog

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
	("W" . "Work queries")
	("Ws" . "Scrum Boards"
	 ;; all open tasks
	 ((todo "TODO"
		((org-agenda-files '("Work.org"))
		 (org-agenda-overriding-header "All open tasks:")
		 (org-agenda-todo-keyword-format "")
		 (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down))))
	  ;; all tasks currently in progress
	  (todo "PROG"
		((org-agenda-files '("Work.org"))
		 (org-agenda-overriding-header "All tasks in progess:")
		 (org-agenda-todo-keyword-format "")
		 (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down))))
	  ;; product backlog
	  (todo "IDEA"
		((org-agenda-files '("Work.org"))
		 (org-agenda-todo-keyword-format "")
		 (org-agenda-overriding-header "Product Backlog:")))
	  ;; all done tasks
	  (todo "DONE"
		((org-agenda-files '("Work.org"))
		 (org-agenda-overriding-header "All done tasks:")
		 (org-agenda-todo-keyword-format "")
		 (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down)))))))

So if you like to produce the Scrum-Board for the current file

C-c < a W s

or for the given file 'Work.org'

C-c a W s

You can also tag your sprints if you like. I have very good experience
with that approach for multiple projects at the same time.
