Today, we plug right into Slack and HipChat. And in our upcoming releases, we hope to support Flowdock, Chime, Kato.im and others. In fact, if you have any ideas for which workflow app we should tackle next, ping us @MyScrumbot
More and more dev teams are distributed around the country or around the world. Why don't you let Scrumbot handle the tricky bits of sorting our who is in what timezone. We will get their updates and summarize it all for you before the scrum starts in the morning.
Before we built Scrumbot, we all swore that we would never write that horrible dev team update email again. But of course, the world does not bend to our every whim. And I imagine it doesn't bend to yours either... With Scrumbot, all that drudgery is gone, its like having an agile assistant. Lets call him a "Scrum Apprentice"!
Near the end of your work day, Scrumbot will ping your team on their specific team channel and ask them what they have been working on today.
Each team member will write back to Scrumbot with three things: what they finished, what they are working on now, and if they have any blockers. They can tag a specific ticket, by prepending the ticket number with "#", and Scrumbot will link to it directly.
Before your daily scrum, simply ask Scrumbot for the report, and you will get a nicely formated break down of all the things people are doing and any blockers will pop right to the top. How awesome is that!?!?!
Simply plug Scrumbot into Slack or HipChat, and you have yourself an Agile Assistant that will reach out to your dev team at the end of every day - getting the details on what’s happened, what's in progress, any blockers?
