Redmine and Scrum [closed]

Question

What is the best support for Scrum in Redmine?

• Best practices?
• Plugin support?

All plugins I've tried are either not that active anymore and/or not up to the task of managing a major project using Scrum.

I've googled to no avail...

Answer 1

Thought I'd make mention of the Redmine Backlogs plugin again. It's been getting some TLC lately. product backlog view, taskboard view, real-time updates, reports, task colors unique to the user's preference, etc.

Answer 2

I don't really know Redmine but it looks like the Scrum Alliance Development Team has several Scrum plugins for it. Others potentially useful plugins are the Scrum dashboard plugin, the Todo Lists plugin, the Backlogs plugin but I can't say if they conflict or overlap with the Scrum Alliance plugins. This requires IMO some further investigations and testing.

My advices:

1. If the team is collocated, don't use a web based tool, use sticky notes on a wall and a spreadsheet.
2. If there are good reasons to use a web based tool, don't use Redmine if it's not satisfying.
