Learn the requirements to create and manage your assignment groups in Agile Development 2.0.

Creating assignment groups

A user with the admin role can create assignment groups of the type Agile Team. Your scrum teams are represented by these agile groups, which you can use to assign to work items such as stories and epics. For more information, see Create an assignment group in Agile Development 2.0.

Adding members to assignment groups

  • New customers: After an agile group is created, you can request your admin to add members to the group.
  • Existing customers: If you upgraded to the Yokohama release, a user with the scrum_admin role or the scrum_master role can add members to your agile group.
    Note: You can restrict this function just to the admin by creating the scrum.disallow_scrum_add_group_member property and setting it to true. For information on how to create a property, see Add a system property.
For information on the procedure to add members to groups, see Add members to an assignment group in Agile Development 2.0

Capacity of an assignment group

For each group member, a default number of story points can be defined. At the group level, the sum of these story points determines the group capacity.
