  • Sprint management by project, including planned, active, completed, and canceled sprints.

  • User story management with project filtering and priority.

Tech Stack

| Component | Technology | | --- | --- | | Framework | .NET 10.0 Windows | | UI | WinForms | | UI Library | ReaLTaiizor 3.8.1.8 | | Icons | FontAwesome.Sharp 6.6.0 | | ORM | Entity Framework Core 10.0.6 | | Database | SQL Server Express | | Auth | BCrypt.Net-Next 4.1.0 | | Notifications | Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications 7.1.3 |

Getting Started

Requirements:

  • Windows
  • .NET 10 SDK
  • SQL Server Express available as .\SQLEXPRESS

Run the app:

dotnet run

Apply migrations:

dotnet ef database update

Generate a fresh SQL script from the current EF model:

dotnet ef dbcontext script -o Src/Data/Scripts/script.sql

Optional seed flow:

  • Open Program.cs.
  • Uncomment the SeedService.FullSeed() block inside Main().
  • Run the app once.
  • Comment the seed block again before normal use.

Database

The EF connection string is configured in Src/Data/AppDbContext.cs:

  • Server: .\SQLEXPRESS
  • Database: Sprintra
  • Auth: Windows trusted connection
  • Trust server certificate: enabled

Current Entity Model

  • Employee: application user with login credentials, type, status, seniority, field, project memberships, and assigned tasks.
  • Project: named work container with description, status, dates, members, and sprints.
  • Sprint: project sprint with name, goal, Scrum Master, dates, estimated work hours, status, and work tasks.
  • UserStory: project-scoped requirement with title, description, priority, and work tasks.
  • WorkTask: user-story task with optional sprint, status, estimate, assigned employees, and work log entries.
  • WorkTaskEntry: logged work for an employee on a work task at a specific date.

Removed legacy model areas:

  • Meetings are no longer part of the current app model.
  • Distribution, increment, and feature entities are no longer part of the current AppDbContext.

Role Access

  • Admin: manages employees, projects, sprints, user stories, work tasks, and work logs.
  • ProductOwner: manages user stories and work tasks, and can log work.
  • ScrumMaster: manages user stories and work tasks, and can log work.
  • Developer: can log work.

Access checks are centralized in Src/Services/PermissionsService.cs.
