Scrum Project Template
When you create a YouTrack project with the Scrum project template, the project is created with the default settings that are described on this page.
Fields
The following issue fields are attached to the project by default:
Name | Type | Values | Default value | Can be empty |

Priority | enum[*] | Show-stopper, Critical, Major, Normal, Minor | Normal | false |
Type | enum[1] | Epic, User Story, Task, Bug | Task | false |

The Ideal days field is configured to be shown only when the value for the Type field is Task.
The Story points field is configured to be shown only when the value for the Type field is User Story.
Agile Boards
Two agile boards are created for the project: one for use by the project managers and another for use by the development team.
The Project Management Board is built to track the development of major features and long-term strategic planning. This board represents the relationship between epics and user stores. Only issues with these types are displayed on the board. Swimlanes are defined by epics. Estimation for the user stories is counted in story points. The project management board has the following default configuration:

Workflows
The following default workflows are attached to the project automatically:

The Scrum workflow contains several rules that help you manage assignees, ideal days, story points, and subtasks on a scrum board. For a detailed description of this workflow, see Scrum.
