EA and Scrum - anyone ?

[JohnDoe]

Has anyone used EA for documenting Scrum based agile projects ?

What elements do you use to document sprints, backlog, user stories etc. ? How do you create burn down charts and scrum dashboards  ?

I suggest you create a UML profile which contains a stereotyped version of requirements for sprints and tasks.
Associate such a task to its corresponding sprint (eg. by linking it) and give it state, resource names, etc.
For the backlog you can create a diagram and put the tasks on it. As you can have different colors depending on element state you can have a quick overview of current task burn down state. The whole model is your backlog, simply visualise it the way you need it.
Same for burndown charts. Charts are simply visual representations of data so they can be easily represented by diagrams.

User stories are represented by use case elements linked with the tasks. Or you completely skip the task and directly use a use case instead.
The compatibility matrix can be used to visualise which user story/task is realised in which sprint.

Just a few and quick ideas.

Bernd,

We use a Scrum based dev method, but it has nothing to do with EA.
The only link between the EA (functional) model and the scrum method is that we keep a change log for every change we make in EA.
In this change log we also note the workitem number, so we can lookup which task required the change, and when it went into prod.
