Tip 33 - User Management

Tip 33 - User Management



When you're managing a large team, you tend to add many users to it. Assigning these users to multiple projects and sprints is taxing after a point. Here are some tricks that would simplify this process.
 
The All Users section under Manage Users in Setup is an overview of all the users present in your team.When you click a user's profile, you will see details such as work done by the user, the projects they're a part of, etc.
 
You can assign users to specific projects when you add them to your team.


 
If you would like to add the new users to all the projects in the team or just add them to sprints in the associated project, you can enable the respective check boxes while setting up their profiles.


 
You can also assign users to sprints while adding them at the project level.


 
We hope this article helps you with hassle-free user management. If you have any questions, do drop them in the comment section. We'd be more than happy to assist you.

    • Tip #1- Why swimlanes?

      Lanes define a clear path to reach your destination. In Agile, swimlane is one such concept that sets a simple and clear process of the work that you do.   The concept of swimlane can be related to the pool, where the swimmers gather in their respective lanes to start off.
