With
over million applications available in the market it can be a bit difficult to
determine what can be the best alternative for your business. Take an example,
that your company has decided to go Agile, and you have started analyzing the
available tools in the market, before even beginning your hunt make your own
strategy and a list of criteria to consider the possible solutions. The best
way would be to start with a very simple tool and then make changes based on
the feedback from the team and evolving situations.
If
your company is already using salesforce crm application, why not use free tool
provided by salesforce to track your sprints? Yes, you heard it right this tool
is free! One of my favorite yet powerful agile tool is Salesforce Agile
accelerator. It
can be easily integrated with any of your ticket/Incident tracking application
which can reflect in the scrum user stories.
What’s cool about this tool?

Are you new to scrum?Take a look at my Scrum Framework Post for scrum basics before jumping into Salesforce Agile Accelerator.
Let’s take a tour of Salesforce
Agile accelerator
We
are already familiar with most of the Tabs highlighted in the screenshot below
- Home Page: Home page includes components like side bar, recent items, messages, alerts etc. You can also include custom components of your choice.
- Chatter: Chatter feature includes feeds, groups, profiles etc. Team can post,
discuss and collaborate sprint work on chatter.
- Profile: There is no separate profile or role. If you are already setup in
salesforce you will have the same profile and role assigned to you. Usually Scrum
team has full access to agile accelerator.
- Reports and Dashboard: Salesforce provides standard reports package for scrum
team which is readily available for use. However team can also build their own
reports and create custom dashboards.
Sample standard reports-
- Team allocation
- Story points per sprint
- Work create per month
- Planned vs actual task hours
- Work progress etc.
- Salesforce agile accelerator (Installed Package Dashboad)
Work is a multipurpose object that defines bugs, defects, incidents, user stories, test cases etc. You can create your own record types and custom page layouts depending on the type of work that your team handles.
Take
an example-1-2-3-SFDC org scrum team works on enhancements, Incidents, new
features, analysis. This would become record types of the work followed by
custom page layouts.
- Analysis: Issues that need research and diagnosis
- Enhancement: Big enhancements
- User Story: Used to create the new features in the existing system
- Incident: Used to track day to day user problems
The
list of current sprint work can be located under Sprint tab on virtual wall.
- Inline Editing like Subject etc.
- Change the Status for user story
- Ability to edit story points
- Drill down to an individual from virtual wall
- Chat from the virtual wall
Reassign the task to the team member, adjust the story points.
Collaborate with your team on chatter
Create
new work from the top right side of the virtual wall
Virtual Wall Views-
There are two types of view available for virtual wall:
- Compact view (Take a quick glance at the current sprint work)
- Expanded view ( Take a look at the tasks and their status)
User Story
Product owner assign the user stories to the team, either team members or the product owner breakdown the user stories into tasks. Estimated time to finish each tasks is recorded in hours.
In 1-2-3-SFDC John has been assigned User story to create approval process for tele business team. John can click on the user story to find more specific details, related documents, BRD, attachments etc.
User story has already been assigned the story points when during sprint planning meeting. Now john will breakdown the user story in to small tasks. The number of hours on the tasks should add up to the story points on the user story. For example- Story Point 5 = 18 hours
When John actually starts working on the tasks, the user story status will be changed to in progress.
As John will change the amount of remaining work, or move tasks from one state to another, the amount of remaining work for that column updates to reflect his changes on the charts.
Tasks will be moved from in planned to in progress and then finally completed one by one.
Each user story has unique definition of what will be delivered. In this example production deployment is the final delivery to the stakeholders. Once the deployment is done, user story can be closed. User story automatically disappears from the virtual wall once it is closed.
