Thank you for trying ScrumWorks Pro! This "README" is designed to get new users up and running with ScrumWorks Pro in a matter of minutes. This guide covers product overview, server installation, and client installation. Once you're up and running, see the ScrumWorks Pro Desktop Client User Guide for more detailed usage documentation.
ScrumWorks Pro Product Overview
Before you begin, it's important to understand the ScrumWorks Pro product architecture. ScrumWorks Pro has a server component and two clients. Read more about the ScrumWorks Pro client-server architecture.
ScrumWorks Pro Installation
  1. The first step is to install the ScrumWorks Pro server. Select your server platform. ScrumWorks Pro Server runs on
    Windows® XP/Vista/2003 Server, Linux, and Mac OS® X 10.4+.
  2. Request a trial license and download. Be sure to indicate your desired platform. A trial license along with a download link will be emailed to you within two business days.
  3. Once you've selected and downloaded your ScrumWorks Pro Server distribution, carefully follow the installation instructions for either Windows, OS X, or Linux.
  4. Now that your ScrumWorks Pro Server is installed and running, launch your ScrumWorks Pro Desktop Client by following the instructions in the Desktop Client User Guide.
  5. Install a license. ScrumWorks Pro requires a valid license for operation. A trial license was supplied with your download link. If you do not have a trial license you may request one through our web site.

    Your license file should have a ".license" extension. Your license may be in a zip archive. In that case, first unzip it and then apply the license file via the "Licensing" button on the ScrumWorks Pro Desktop Client login prompt.

    Note, licenses apply to the server, so once your license is installed subsequent Desktop Client users will not need to apply a license.
  6. Log in. ScrumWorks Pro comes with a default user "administrator" with password "password" (less quotes). Once logged in, the administrator should change the default password and may add new users in the system through the User > User Manager menu.
  7. Create a Product. Use the "New Product Creation Wizard" to create a product, add users, and setup teams.
That's it! You should be up and running with ScrumWorks Pro. Please check our support resources for more help.
