Agile methods are groups of practices of piloting and realization of projects.
They originate from the Agile Manifesto, written in 2001, which uses the term “agile” to refer to multiple existing methods.
Agile methods are more pragmatic than traditional methods, involve the client as much as possible and allow a great reactivity to his requests. They are based on an iterative, incremental and adaptive development cycle and must respect four fundamental values, based on twelve principles, from which a base of practices, either common or complementary, derives.
The Kanban dashboard allows you to create and customize the display of tiles in the kanban, create or modify columns or even create tiles or new kanbans, export or print your tiles…
The Drop-down list
You can see the complete list of created tables by clicking on the Kanbans drop-down list in the My Kanbans section.
The icon used for kanban tables created corresponds to the type of elements selected.
You can see the shared kanban tables by others users on the shared Kanbans section.
The heading of the moved element then changes to green when it is on a column where the movement is allowed and is red when it is on a column where the movement is prohibited.
If the Kanban is arranged as statuses, the new status after move, will be the first status of the range defined for the column.
For Kanbans based on the target product version and planning activities, the new field value will simply be the target.
Forbidden moves
Displacements will change the value of the corresponding field for the moved element.
But the “status” change must respect the workflow configuration for the given item type. This is why some movements are prohibited.
Permitted moves are easily identified from prohibited moves by the color of the Ticket header or the moved Activity.
Updating
Depending on the configuration of the ticket type, some state changes may require the definition of new fields.
For example, in the default configuration, when changing to the “assigned” state, “responsible” is required, and when transitioning to the “terminated” state, “result” is required “.
In this case, when you move a ticket in the Kanban columns, a pop-up window appears to allow you to enter the missing value if it is not already defined.
Vote
If the voting settings and your rights allow you to vote on an element, then the vote button will be clickable and you will be able to vote directly on the element from the Kanban screen.
Click on to start the meeting and to start decrementing the speaking time
Click on To stop the meeting and therefore close the LiveMeeting window to return to the current meeting screen
Click on to pause the speaker’s time
Set the organizer
Before starting the meeting, you can define an organizer who will need additional speaking time to be able to lead the meeting.
To designate it, click twice on the hourglass to obtain the symbol on the icon.
The organizer is designated, and sees his time increment double by taking equitable time on the other participants.
The designated organizer has a PLus on the hourglass icon of his tab¶
Note that only one participant can be defined as an organizer.
To set another participant as an organizer, you must first redefine the current organizer as a normal participant by clicking the hourglass button again.
Speaking Time
If you started the meeting by clicking on the Play icon at the top right of the screen, then this is the first speaker displayed, the one with the green sign that will begin speaking.
Otherwise, click on the speaker’s tab of your choice to start your speaking time.
Click on to prevent a speaker from speaking
Click on to give him the floor again
If you prevent a speaker’s speaking time by clicking on the hourglass, then the remaining speaking time of the speaker will be redistributed to the other participants entitled to speak.
Write a meeting report
During the course of the meeting, the person in charge of the report can inform and report the words of the various participants.
The text editor is dynamic and reacts to speakers who have the floor.
When one speaker is finished and another speaker speaks, a field is added in the text editor with the name of the speaker with the detail of the time
The pause is also mentioned always with the detail of the time.
Each list acts as the standard “linked element” element present on almost every element screen.
You can then list an item to add it to the list of related items, but also create a new item to add to the list, just like for the Linked Items feature.
All linked items through this feature will appear in linked items in the meeting.
There is a slight difference with related items, when you click on the name of an item, you are not redirected to it.
It simply opens in a pop-up form, allowing you to update it without leaving the LiveMeeting screen.
New element
You can create, edit, or delete an action, decision, or question from the live meeting screen.
Click on at the top right of each section to add a new element
A pop up opens and allows you to create and edit the selected element.
Planning Poker, also known as Scrum Poker, is a consensus-based gamified estimation technique primarily used to estimate the relative effort or size of development goals. (wikipedia)
Projeqtor integrates planning poker into its functionalities. You will be able to plan a planning poker session as a meeting and see it appear on the Gantt chart.
You define the project to which the session is linked, the user story (s) as well as the voters.
The User Story represents an Agile practice, used above all in Scrum, to “capture” the needs of the users by expressing in a general and not detailed way, the characteristics, the functions and the requirements of the product to be created.
In ProjeQtOr, a user story can be a ticket, an activity or a requirement.
A session can contain several user stories, there is no limit.
Each of these user stories can be started individually, in part or in full.
Attendees
Participants can be resources, contacts, or users.
Participants are assigned as on an activity, with a function linked to a cost.
You can assign a load manually but if you have entered a time slot then the load is automatically calculated.
Pause and stop session
You can pause the session. This will remove user stories from the planning poker estimates screen without actually closing or stopping the session.
Stop the session, will change the status of the latter to “done”.
User stories will still be visible on the estimates planning poker screen but you will no longer be able to vote.
Change the status to in progress so that the pause and closed buttons are visible again.
Closed a poker session
When all the votes are recorded, you have two options :
Close the vote
Turn the cards over
When you turn over the cards, the vote is indicated on each participant’s card.
