Tool Mentor: Creating an "Agile ALM with Scrum" Project
Create a project using the Agile ALM with Scrum solution.

Synopsis

The System Administrator creates a new project area using the Agile ALM with Scrum template, ensures the practices are accessible from the project and adds a user to act as a project area administrator.

Value 

The Agile ALM with Scrum template is designed to support the typical activities in a project based on Scrum methodology. Using a template saves a lot of time and projects can be started quickly. Access to the practice content from project elements provides in context guidance to the team when they need it.

Steps

The System Administrator performs the following steps.

Step Tool guidance

1. Log on as system administrator

A project area can only be created by a system administrator.

See the infocenter topic Logging in for project administrators and team leads.

Note: The infocenter doesn't distinguish between System Administrator and Project Area Administrator - referring to both as Project Administrator. We call out these roles separately because the person responsible for configuring the tool for multiple projects (the System Administrator) typically works for a different organization, and has different permissions, than the person responsible for configuring an individual project (the Project Area Administrator).

References to the "Change and Configuration Management application" are synonymous with Rational Team Concert.

2. Create a new project area

Choose the appropriate process template for this project.  (The process template preconfigures the project area with a default timeline, work item types, dashboards, and so on.)

The simplest way to create a project is to follow these instructions: Creating a project area using an Agile ALM with Scrum template (downloadable here).

However, if you directly create a project from a template, you cannot update it to newer versions of the template.  For long-running projects, or for organizations that want to standardize, we recommend that you Standardize process by using project area process sharing.
For the "provider project area", use an Agile ALM with Scrum template.  In this approach, you create a provider project area for the entire organization. Then for every "real" project you create a consumer project area that inherits the process of the provider project area. For more information, see  Sharing the process of a project area. Note that "project area" in later steps refers to the consumer project area created for the real project.

3. Assign a Project Area Administrator

Add a user to the project and assign the Project Area Administrator role. Send out an invitation to that user so they can access the newly created project area.

This gives the user the access rights to configure the project area. 

A project team member must be a registered user in the Jazz repository.  See Creating users.
