Scrum Management

Due to the size of our team and the multiple hats worn by those on it, my project manager has asked for me to help aid in keeping track of weekly sprints so that we could better prioritize feature development.

As a Scrum Master, I have:

Created and tracked tasks using project management software (Jira)
- Including:
  - Setting Task Priority;
  - Assigning estimated points/hours per task;
  - Making sure all tasks have their relative dependencies linked.
Checked in with members 2-3 times a week to gauge project progress.
