  • 1.  Marking ancillary roles as team members

    Posted Aug 01, 2018 05:52 PM

    I think I know the answer to this but if we have roles like Project Manager, Architect and we mark them as members of the team does that impact velocity or the burn down charts?   My thinking is no because they do not have any tasks or hours associated to them?

     

     

    Thanks

    Hi Kathy,

     

    You're correct:  "No", it will have no impact. The velocity and burn-down are affected by measured work. Including any members who aren't assigned any actual work that's accruing your hours/points - will have no impact.

     

    Thanks.
