A big thanks to all of the Scrum’d customers that are actively participating on our support site. Having your help to make Scrum’d one of the few applications that you enjoy using is huge, and for that we thank you. I’d also like to personally thank one of our new users – Bobby Baird – for the excellent tweet:
Just created my first account on scrum’d (http://www.scrumd.com). I’ve worked with scrum mngmt in the past and this makes it too easy!!
Though his blog be sparse and his Twitter stream flow steady (did that sound bad?), it seems as if Bobby and we share some common beliefs:
As developers we have the power to take awesome ideas that can literally push the entire human race forward. The power to eliminate time-consuming mind-numbing tasks allowing people to concentrate on ideas (rather than tasks) that can change the course of where a company, or a nation for that matter, is heading.
All I have to say is hellz ya Bobby. Keep working on changing the world, and we’ll keep working to do our part.
It’s customers like Bobby that keep us going.
And so for Bobby and all of our other customers, we continue to work hard improving Scrum’d. This week sees a new release, as will the next few weeks to come. Did I mention that I love Rails and Agile? Well I do, and here’s what we’ve got for you, straight from our backlog. The ones that say “Bug” have been squashed.
- Remove the resources_controller plugin (Rails peeps will know what this means)
- Graceful add/edit/delete of Users () – do anything to a User account and you’ll get feedback
- Remove HAML (again, Rails peeps will know this one)
- Bug: Markdown is not rendered properly in the tasks
- Bug: User stories don’t show up when adding them to a sprint that is expanded
- Bug (UI): Acceptance criteria on the product backlog have lines in them
- Bug: Cannot add sprints to a newly created release
And we have much more coming this week, including showing which fields are required on forms (Ted et al.), updating date pickers on sprints to only show dates (Ted), allowing past dates in sprints (Ted), and attaching files to user stories. We’re also looking into why some of the burndown charts are wacky (Aldo). And Ted, you are a machine my friend. Thanks for the ton of feedback.
If you are a Scrum’d customer and have ideas on how to make Scrum’d work better for you, please let us know on our support site. We’re listening.
