Besides users you need projects they will be working on. Here is how to create projects in your Banana Scrum account.
To create a new project you have to be an account admin. You do it by entering the Admin panel using the link in the top-right corner of the screen, then selecting the "Projects" tab. There you can see a list of your projects and a big "Add Project" button on the right. Click on it and you will get a new project form.
New project form.
On this form you have to enter following information:
- project name - this is the name of the project that will be visible to the users, this can be later edited,
- project codename - this will be used as part of project's URLs so it can't contain spaces and other chars prohibited normally as part of a URL. This codename can not be changed later.
- project description - is just a field for any notes, for example a further description of the project,
- project time zone - this is the time zone that will be used for the project calendar, for burndown and burnup charts etc. In projects where the team is dispersed across time zones it helps to pin the project down in time so that everyone knows when the sprints begin and end,
- free days - used to make the ideal burndown line more realistic - on those days no work is expected to happen so burndown is flat, Saturday and Sunday are marked by default as probably most common, but you can change that here (you can always change that later too),
- visible graphs - here you can decide what graphs will be visible inside sprint views - by default all graphs are enabled, but since we heard some users don't like some of the graphs here is a place for them to customize what they get.
In the fields below graph selection it is also possible to add users to the project at creation time. This is not required, but may speed things up when you have your users already created.
