Scrum process work items and workflow
Scrum is a popular iterative and incremental agile framework for managing product and software development. For planning a project, tracking the defects, bugs, work and blocking issues when developing software, viewing and reporting a progress, the teams working with Scrum methodology use the product backlog items (PBIs), bug work item types (WITs), reports and dashboards. When defining a product backlog item, you can focus on the value which will be received by your customers without description how this will be achieved. Working in sprints, the teams can define tasks which automatically link to PBIs and bugs.

- Set the maximum value for Y axis.
- That value can't be less than a maximum number indicated in the table.
- Select a cell Real, select a Color menu.
- Set a color for the header cell.
- The color of the line graph and legend data will update automatically, as these parameters are connected.
- Use object action menu.
- Hide the table with data, you don't need it anymore.
- Stretch the graph adjusting it to the page size.
- Move the legend under the graph using a yellow control dot.
- Use layers inspector.
- Rename the second layer and set it as active.
- Lock the previous layer for editing.

- If transparent graph lines dissapeared on the background, use a rectangle again.
- Set the needed size, select the graph by clicking on its components.
- Send the graph to Front.
- Select the graph object.
- Open line inspector.
- Set the line pattern to a solid one.

UML Diagram →
While developing software, it is very important to have a visual model, because it helps to represent the logic and the architecture of an application. Experienced engineers use UML diagrams to denote relationships between classes and their instances. UML is a general language for a set of diagrams like deployment diagrams, object diagrams or use case diagrams. This diagram represents UML class diagram used for a software system development using an object-oriented method. Class diagrams are categorized as static structure diagrams that depict the physical structure of a system. Class diagram divides a software system's structure into "classes". Classes are defined by the methods and variables of objects. UML Class diagram is used to depict relationships and source code dependencies between objects.
