How to Use GitScrum for Backend Development Teams?
How to use GitScrum for backend development teams?
GitScrum supports backend development with columns for API design, development, testing, and deployment. Configure WIP limits for backend workflow, use labels for service components, document APIs in NoteVault, and track with Team Standup. Backend teams using structured PM reduce integration issues by 35% [Source: Backend Development Survey 2024].
Backend project setup:
- Create project - Backend system name
- Configure columns - Backend workflow
- Add service labels - Component tracking
- Set WIP limits - Focus on completion
- Create NoteVault docs - API documentation
- Enable Team Standup - Async updates
