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.

- To do so, use a yellow control dot.
- Fill a table with data.
- To select a cell, click a few times on it.
- Use object action menu.
- Set the increment for Y axis.
- Use object action menu.
- 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.
- Use a rectangle from Drawing Shapes library.
- Stretch it out to the page size.
- Change the color.
- Open Fill color menu of Fill inspector.
- Uncheck the stroke for perimeter rectangle.
- Send it to Back using context menu.
- Open Layers inspector.
- Set the first layer as active.
- Lock the background 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.
- Your document is ready!
- Save it and export to another format if needed.
The possibility of exporting to variety of popular graphical formats (PNG, JPEG, JPG, GIF, TIF, TIFF, BMP, DIB, EMF, SVG) and file formats, such as Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT), Adobe Acrobat (PDF), Microsoft Visio (VDX, VSDX), Adobe Flash (SWF), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), HTML, opens wide opportunities for you.

No building project can exist without an electrical circuit map. It’s more convenient to develop electrical drawing with a proper software which would contain vector shapes and electrical symbols. This will help in the future if any problems appear. This circuit diagram shows the scheme of a location of components and connections of the electrical circuit using a set of standard symbols. It can be use for graphical documentation of an electrical circuit components. There are many of different electric circuit symbols that can be used in a circuit diagram. Knowing how to read circuit diagrams is a useful skill not only for professionals, but for any person who can start creating his own small home electronic projects.

Data Flow Diagram Process →
When you are a beginner in software development, you make a lot of mistakes. Developing logical models, or data flow diagrams is a way to see the the whole project and all the processes clearly. And some novices, unfortunately for them, miss modeling stage at the beginning of project life cycle, and get into troubles as the project grows. This image represents the data flow diagram applying symbols of Yourdon and Coad notation. This DFD depicts the data flow inside an organization department deals with receivables. The icons of standard Yourdon and Coad notation provides possibility to draw professional looking and well- readable DFD for business documentation. This data flow diagram was designed with the help of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and its Data Flow Diagrams solution. The solution delivers three vector graphic libraries including elements of Yourdon and Coad and Gane-Sarson notations.

Entity Relationship Diagram - ERD - Software for Design Crows Foot ER Diagrams →
There are many ways to describe a database structure. One of the most usual is to draw an entity relationship diagram (ERD) using a Crow’s Foot notation to represent database elements. If you don’t want to draw it on paper, you should use an appropriate software. An entity-relationship (ER) diagram is used to show the structure of a business database. ERD represents data as objects (entities) that are connected with standard relationships symbols which Illustrate an association between entities. ERD, there is a wide range of ERD notations used by data bases architects for reflecting the relationships between the data entities. According to the crow’s foot notation relationships are drawn as single labeled lines designating a certain kinds of relationship. Crow foot notation is a most frequently used ERD standard, because of improved readability of diagrams, with a more accurate use of space on the page._Win_Mac.png)
