Create a Scrum Team

The scrum master can create a scrum team and associate it with the product on which they work. You can assign multiple scrum teams to one product or sprint, and multiple sprints to one scrum team.

For example, the scrum teams Avengers and Jaguars can participate in the development of a product Parking Pass Management System. Avengers are assigned to work on user interface development user stories and Jaguars are assigned to work on user stories that are related to the database. Both the teams are assigned to the same sprint.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click Agile, and from Resources, click Teams.
  2. Click New Team.
  3. Complete the requested fields. The following fields require explanation:
    Active

    Specifies whether the team is active. Inactive teams are not available through CA Clarity Agile.

    Expected Velocity

    Defines the estimated total story points that a scrum team believes they can realistically complete during a sprint. The velocity displays as team capacity in the sprint backlog.

    This value becomes the default velocity for the team for each new sprint that they are assigned to. You can modify this value as needed by editing the sprint team on the Sprint Backlog & Charts page.

    Story Point Scale

    Defines the story point scale your team uses. Enter a comma-separated list of numbers.

    Default: Fibonacci sequence (1,2,3,5,8,13,21)

    Scrum Team Domain

    Specifies the domain name or URL for the team.

  4. Save your changes.

After you create a scrum team, it is automatically added to any new sprints created for the product to which the team is assigned. You can remove the scrum team from the default team assignments.
