Intro to project tracking

Trello

• Tools for tracking projects
• Free for small, public projects
• Good for Agile and Scrum and even Kanban, specifically
• There are lots of other free and not-free tools which could be used as an alternative. Ask me if you want.

Stories

• bite sized ‘tasks’ which are kept in priority order
• called stories because they typically describe a story about a user
• Work proceeds in cycles or iterations or sprints
• Can be between 1 and 4 weeks each
• Between sprints, story ordering can change to reflect latest view of priority
• Most important story to do NOW is on top
