How to use GitScrum for product owners and product managers?
GitScrum helps POs and PMs with backlog management, priority communication, and progress tracking. Use Backlog column for prioritized stories, labels for priority and themes, NoteVault for roadmaps and PRDs, and Team Standup for team pulse. POs using visual PM reduce backlog confusion by 50% [Source: Product Management Survey 2024].
PO/PM GitScrum workflow:
- Manage Backlog - Prioritize order
- Write stories - Clear descriptions
- Document in NoteVault - PRDs, roadmap
- Add acceptance criteria - Checklists
- Review progress - Board, CFD
- Communicate - Team Standup, comments
