Summary
In this chapter, we have become familiar with the basic idea behind Agile. We learned about Scrum process in brief, along with the different roles, events, and artifacts for the Scrum process. We will be covering different Agile concepts along the way while using the tooling system to meet the Agile team requirements.
We have GreenHopper installed and ready to use. We covered the basic terminology of GreenHopper, which we will be using further in this book. In the upcoming chapters, we will use this terminology and will cover each one in detail.
We covered different uses and examples of the tool, and which teams can use GreenHopper based on the variations and the nature of the teams. In the upcoming chapters, we will also cover managing both Scrum and Kanban teams using GreenHopper. Backlog creation, running Sprints, and reporting will be covered in detail.
We also covered different rich features of the GreenHopper interface which will come in handy for our day-to-day work and will result in a team productivity increase. In later chapters, we will cover each of the GreenHopper rich interface features and different functionality in details while managing both the Scrum and Kanban teams.
As mentioned in the project example, in the subsequent chapters, we will create a Scrum board for a website development Scrum team. We will create a product backlog, Sprints, a task board, and different reporting charts for the Scrum team. For the site operations team, we will create a Kanban team to control work in progress and to use the task board efficiently.
