Hi guys,
Nice overview. Just what I was missing.
Best,
Chris
Nice to have user access rights, but how are they actually enforced? I would like some help with that because it seems anyone can « register » and load any project and assign themselves the role they want. They are also able to change between the roles. Unless the user rights are enforceable, this feature becomes of no point. Please help, this software is awesome and I would like to get it working properly soon
Thanks in advance for any help,
Taridzo.
OK, now I’ve figured out most of the stuff I needed, but I cant figure why my colleagues who join a project must assign themselves a role. They may, for example, choose to be POs when in fact they are supposed to be Team Members. Can the Product Owner/Administrator assign roles?
cheers,
Taridzo.
Hi Taridzo,
The Product Owner can’t assign roles to somebody. You’ll have to make sure everyone take the role they are supposed to be.
One way to enforce that is to disable the option allowing anyone to change their role, you can do that in the project menu (as a Scrum Master only). Click on the « Project: » link on the top of the screen after you have opened/created your project, then expand the « Members management » panel and click on « Disable role changes ».
When this option is disabled, if someone tries to join the project, he will only have the choice between « Team member » and « Stakeholder ». Then he won’t be able to change his role.
Best regards,
Manu
I forgot to mention that a Scrum Master AND a Product Owner have to exist in the project. If there is no Product Owner, a new member will be able to choose from any roles the first time he joins the project, even if the « Disable role changes » option is enabled.
Thank you, that helped. Thanks again for the awesome tool.
Kind regards,
Taridzo.
I am using R2#15, I have created a project, created 1 Scrum Master, 1 product owner, 2 stakeholders and 2 members, but I cannot find « Members management » panel and click on « Disable role changes ». I have tried logging in using Scrum Master and Product Owner. Please let me know how can I disable role selection.
Also if I click on « user » near the « logout », the edit user info comes, if I close this without editing, it gives internal server error and application restarts.
Sometimes I need to have the product owner also as the scrum master..can we define as both role?
@Rick
Check our recent blog entry named « Project settings and actions », you should find your answer
@Jeffry
When you create your project, you’re given both the ScrumMaster and Product Owner role. This is done for convenience, so the creator of the project can beneficiate of all the privileges, allowing him to preset the project’s settings or doing other things that need the two roles. But that is the only time you can cumulate these two roles, as soon as someone else will take one of these roles in your place, or if you choose another role by yourself, you won’t be able to cumulate these roles again later in this project.
That being said, if the « disable role changes » option is not enabled, you can switch between the ScrumMaster role and the Product Owner role anytime.
You guys rock!
I am impressed, by the tool and the thought behind it.
Thanks
KM
Hello-
Does anyone know if this tool can handle multiple products? If it can, is it able to perform an absolute ranking of the stories across all products in the program (combination of all the products in the system)?
Hi David,
You can have multiple projects in iceScrum, but there are no « global actions » performable on every projects at once, at least for the moment.
Well, it is considering 1 project == 1 product, but you could use the backlog of one project to manage multiple products, using the « Features panel » to separate the stories of each product, thus the stories’ ranking would be « absolute » in that project and among the products it represents.
thank you. I will definitely look more closely at this product.
Hello just another question. How can you handle a situation where you have overlapping sprints? It doesn’t look like icescrum can handle it.
