Thank you Ricardo for arranging the EPF webinar on PM Automation! I would also like to thank all the participants for their time and interaction.
The lively question / answer session we had offered me a good insight into what we could do further to help the EPF community. Publishing the PoP Project EPF plug-in is one such item which we plan to do.
I would also like to offer additional clarification to your question of whether resources can be assigned to tasks on Google docs attached to the EPF ScrumPoP application (
http://www.mypopproject.com/guide/11) which I demonstrated. The good news from our team is that you can indeed assign resources. You list the user stories in the common Product Backlog embedded in the "Plan" task. You allocate the stories to specific tracks. With a one time set up you would then be able to see the stories within the track level Sprint Backlogs. You can subset the stories for a Sprint and then team members can list tasks for the stories and place their initials against them along with hours. On an ongoing basis you can view these stories and tasks on the Kanban board attached to the Sprint Backlog (also shows task assignments) and change their status. At all times the team can refer to EPF content as needed.
Again I appreciate this opportunity.
Thanks,
Diwant
