Using a Project Template

Prerequisites

Before creating a CodeArts project, you must have permission to create a project. If the Create Project button is not displayed on the homepage, you do not have permission to create projects. In this case, contact the administrator to obtain the permission. For details about how to grant the project creator permission to users, see Configuring a CodeArts Project Creator.

Creating a CodeArts Project Using a Project Template

CodeArts provides multiple out-of-the-box project templates, including Scrum, IPD, and Kanban. You can select a project template based on your service scenario.

1. Click Create Project on the service homepage.
2. On the Select Template page, select a project template as required. For details about the characteristics and application scenarios of each project template, see Project template features and application scenarios.

   Table 1 Project template features and application scenarios

   Project Template	Feature	Application Scenario
   Scrum	An incremental, iterative software development method. Sprint planning, daily Scrum, sprint review, and sprint retrospectives are key to efficient project management.	Iterative, incremental software development.
   IPD-System Device	Software and hardware adaptation involved, fixed product requirements, industry standards available, long development period (6–9 months), high requirements on product quality and stability, many decisions to make, and mainly waterfall development.	Complex products with embedded software that evolves with hardware. Examples: communications devices, automobiles, home appliances, and consumer electronics.
   IPD-Standalone Software	Independent software deployment and sales, frequent requirement changes, quick planning, agile development, agile release, and short delivery period (2–3 months or faster).	IT application and platform software with standardized hardware or independent of dedicated hardware. Examples: ERP software, CRM, databases, and network management software.
