DOCUMENTATION PROCESS
Pivotal Tracker is the project-planning tool used to track development work for each managed product. Deliverables are in the form of stories (virtual cards) that move through a workflow of different states. Priorities are established and transparent so team members know what needs to be done, what is being worked on, and when it is completed. See quick start & demo of Pivotal Tracker HERE.
