##Trello Scrum Voting API

###Description Used in Scrum planning, this Chrome extension allows a user to monitor and display effort point votes. A typical scenario: one person with the extension is connected to a projector and team members cast their votes from laptops or smart phones.

###Setup The person who will tally the votes is the only one who needs to install the extension. Follow these steps to get started:

  • Download the Trello Scrum Voting API project.
  • Modify scripts/key.js to include your Trello developer key - get yours at https://trello.com/app-key.
  • Optional - modify the MONITORING_DURATION variable in scripts/main.js. The default setting is 5000 ms (5 seconds).
  • In Chrome, browse to chrome://extensions/, enable Developer mode (checkbox in upper right corner), click the 'Load unpacked extension' button and select the folder where you saved the Trello Scrum Voting API extension.
  • In Trello, create a list called "Voting". If you use a different list name, update the variable VOTING_LIST_NAME in scripts/main.js to contain the same list name.
  • Create a card in the Voting list for each member of your team. Name the card after the team member and assign them to the card.

###Usage

  • Once the board with the Voting list loads, click the list's menu icon (the circle/down arrow in the upper right corner). The voting popup opens and displays a series of avatars and question marks, indicating that it's waiting for all team members to enter a vote.
  • Team members open their card on the Voting list (either using a computer or the Trello app) and change the card's description to their current effort point vote. As team members update their votes, the voting popup will show a checkmark next to their avatar. NOTE: To re-use the same number on a subsequent vote, type a period after the number (or delete the period) in order for Trello to view the card as changed.
  • Once all votes are in, click the Show Votes button to reveal all votes. Monitoring stops until the Clear button is clicked.
  • Click the Clear button to reset all cards to '?' and await further votes.

###Can I use this commercially? Yes. Please review the LICENSE.
