Scrum Software

Effortlessly structure and refine the requirements for your product in the Projektron BCS Product Backlog, from epics to user stories to partial requirements and activities as well as acceptance tests. In the Scrum Software Product Backlog, you have full control over your Scrum structure elements. Not only can you create them, but you can also drag and drop them and prioritize them. You maintain all relevant information about your structural elements, such as status, priorities and estimated values, centrally in one place - in the tool's Product Backlog.

Seamless communication between team members and product owners takes place directly on user stories and epics. New messages for you or your team are displayed in your personal overview. With just a few clicks in the tool, you call up the corresponding Scrum element and reply to a message. The communication history as well as the most important changes can be viewed directly at the Scrum element, so that you can understand what was discussed at any time. Projektron BCS thus offers you an efficient and transparent way to organize the requirements for your products and communicate with your team.

In your Scrum projects and subprojects, as well as when working with individual Scrum structure elements and during your sprint planning, you can rely on the supporting wizards of the Projektron BCS Scrum software to guide you step by step through the entire process to the goal, if desired.

The resource management ofProjektron BCS offers you the possibility to realistically plan employee capacities for individual sprints or the entire Scrum project. You can check how much free capacity is currently available at any time in the resource preview integrated in the tool. This means you always have an overview of which resources are available for your projects and can adjust your plan accordingly. Projektron BCS supports you in managing your resources effectively and ensuring that your Scrum projects run smoothly.

Your sprint planning and sprint backlog have never been easier to organize than with Projektron BCS. Start your sprint planning well prepared. In the planning view of the product backlog, Projektron BCS shows you an overview of the sprints still open in your Scrum project. Here, you can easily run through potential sprint assignments and processing sequences of the user stories using drag & drop. Projektron BCS takes into account the development speed of your team (velocity) as well as the estimated story points of your user stories and warns you of potential capacity bottlenecks.

Once you have defined the goals of a sprint, you can also transfer the corresponding user stories from the product backlog to the associated sprint backlog using drag & drop. This enables a seamless and efficient implementation of your Sprint goals.

If you are working on a large Scrum project with multiple development teams, the planning view in the Product Backlog of the Scrum software offers the best way to clearly organize your user stories into multiple sprints running in parallel. Projektron BCS ensures that your sprint planning runs smoothly and that you maintain an overview.

If, as a CPO, you would like to set content priorities for upcoming releases, you can plan development topics in the release planning, specify a total budget of story points and divide the story points between the topics. This is very useful for overarching strategic planning. The user stories on which the budget of allocated story points is ultimately spent can be decided later in the detailed planning.

Simplify the organization of your Scrum meetings, be it Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Demo (Sprint Review) or Sprint Retrospective, with the Sprint Calendar of the Scrum software. Projektron BCS lets you automatically create the standard dates for these important meetings. However, you can flexibly adjust the suggested dates manually, for example, to invite additional participants or change the time.

From a methodological perspective, the Scrum framework provides for certain roles such as Product Owner, Scrum Master, Stakeholder and Team. As a user, you can seamlessly map this set of Scrum roles in Projektron BCS by adapting them to the existing user roles and assignments according to your requirements. With Projektron BCS, you have all the tools for full control over your Scrum meetings and each role within your Scrum team on one platform, making management and coordination much easier.

With the time recording function ofProjektron BCS, your Scrum team can effortlessly post the working times incurred directly to the processed user stories, partial requirements, activities and acceptance tests. Projektron BCS aggregates these recorded times upwards along the structure of the product backlog. As a product owner, you thus have a clear overview of the effort required to implement individual user stories or product increments. You can easily see if there are relevant deviations between the estimated efforts and the actual efforts incurred.

If you also use the Projektron BCS billing module, invoicing booked efforts to customers becomes child's play. You can easily invoice your customers for the recorded efforts on a project-specific basis, which greatly simplifies the billing processes and gives you a transparent view of the services provided. Projektron BCS thus offers an efficient solution for tracking working times, controlling costs and satisfying your customers.

If you use the ticket system from Projektron BCS, managing internal requests and customer requests for your products in your Scrum projects becomes child's play. Let's say a customer submits a request for a new feature via a ticket. With just a few clicks in the Scrum software, you easily create the corresponding user story and add it to your product backlog. The ticket description can be seamlessly adopted for the user story and the associated activities.

Projektron BCS automatically links the newly created user story to the original ticket, making it easy to trace the background of its creation, especially when prioritizing the Product Backlog.

In addition, you have the option of linking tickets to existing user stories, epics, or partial requests. This makes it much easier to organize and manage customer requests and helps to ensure that no request or requirement is lost. With Projektron BCS, you have a powerful solution at hand to make communication between your support team and your Scrum team seamless and to efficiently integrate customer requests into your development processes.
