I'm evaluating the tool and I'd like to know if it's possible to add several teams to a sprint.We have several teams working in different parts of the product (i.e components) and we analyze the velocity and capacity for each one. Due to the release cycle is the same for the all teams (i.e. the sprints have the same start and end dates) we want to assign the all teams to the same sprint, but we could not do this.
Actually I see multiple problems in your approach from a Scrum point of view:
1. A sprint is defined by Scrum as one team committing to a software increment during a fixed amount of time. There is no such thing as multi-team commitment. So every team runs its own sprint. The alternative approach is to have just one team. 2. Having component-oriented Scrum teams causes a lot of headaches for most companies - you have to handle dependencies, it's hard to write sensible user stories and you have to implement some kind of waterfall-like approach to tackle integration.I'm happy to elaborate this a bit (time permitting) but I don't want to play the 'religous' one about these issues.
The way to use a multi-team setup in Agilo is to create multiple sprints with the same start/end dates and assign a team to each of these sprints.
