I am part of a Scrum team and we are constrained to use Microsoft Project (MSP). I understand that MSP is not primarily an Agile project management tool and I would very much to use something like VersionOne or Rally's tool. However, that is not possible right now and we are bound to MSP. I know there is a Microsoft provided 'Scrum Starter Solution' for MSP 2010 (but it really isn't that comprehensive. I would like to know the experience and techniques that others using Scrum (or for that matter other Agile processes) had in using MSP. How did they map or customize MSP to bring in all Scrum artefacts and practices (e.g. Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog with tasks associated to say a user store from the Product Backlog, defining Sprints). Thanks in advance. It depends on what level of detail is required in your MS level project. This template is designed for basic agile projects with sprints, features, tasks, and a Gantt chart timeline view. Your team can update progress, track deliverables. I've received a couple of questions lately concerning Microsoft Project, which I haven't covered in a while, so I've decided to write some more posts. I will, as I've previously posted, also post an example file for an agile project in Microsoft Project. But what are YOU interested in? Post a comment or e-mail me if you have any.
