  2. You can select the Confluence product as secondary product or you can skip and add it later.

3. Sign in to your Gmail or Apple or Slack or any other account and then provide the claim your site textbox
& click Agree.

4. Skip any questions (the application you are using or Invite your teammates etc) it might ask and let it set up the Jira and confluence for your claimed website.
5. Select the scrum template for your website as shown below.

6. Provide the project name and click Create button

7. One project is set up after few seconds, you need to click on the Backlog (meaning a list of tasks to be completed in the future for the project) and then click on create a button on top and fill out the information about your task.

8. Now you can create a couple of more stories or bugs or tasks as mentioned. Once you created a few more samples, your backlog might look something similar to the below example.

9. Now, click on the Create Sprint button and drag few tasks from the backlog to the project “Sprint 1” area.

10. Now, You have all the tasks assigned to sprint 1 so you can click the “Start sprint” Button and sprint details as shown below.

11. Now, you have a fully functional Sprint to start with and work on an individual task, stories or bugs, etc. You can move them from one column to another to reflect the current status of the task at hand and also add comments to each story & tag individual team members.

12. Double click on one of the stories from the sprint and assign it to yourself and move to In Process. Start working on it. Once completed the task, move it from In Progress to Done.

13. You can also tag each story to any member of the team using @ tag in the comment list.

14. Remember though, each company might have a different duration of sprint or can use Kanban rather than Scrum, etc.
