InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft has built a tool to track the daily progress of Scrum-based software development projects. The eScrum 1.0 project management tool was released this week. It provides "a one-stop place for all Scrum artifacts, such as product backlogs, sprint backlogs, task management, retrospectives, and reports," said Microsoft's S. "Soma" Somasegar, corporate vice president of the company's developer division, in his blog.
Intended for users of the company's Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server application lifecycle management server, eScrum integrates with TFS Team Explorer, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Project. A Web-based UI is featured.
