1. Getting Started

1.1 Requirements

• Microsoft 365 with SharePoint Online (on-premises SharePoint Server is not supported).
• A modern browser: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari.
• A SharePoint Administrator or Global Administrator to upload the package to the tenant App Catalog.
• Site owner permission on the target site to add the app and publish pages.
• Install Sprint Align on a dedicated SharePoint subsite, preferably as a Single App Page.

1.2 Deploy the App (Tenant Administrator)

• Obtain the production package (estimatr.sppkg) from Chronodat or your release pipeline.
• Open the SharePoint Admin Center → More features → Apps → App Catalog and upload the .sppkg file.
• When prompted, choose to deploy the package and make it available to all sites. The same package is used for SharePoint and Microsoft Teams.
• To use Sprint Align in Teams, deploy the package, then use Sync to Teams. Sessions still read and write the SharePoint site behind that team.
• Approve the requested Microsoft Graph permissions only if you plan to turn on optional profile photos or presence.

1.3 Add Sprint Align to a Page (Site Owner)

• On the dedicated subsite, create a Single App Page (recommended) or edit a modern SharePoint page.
• Add the Sprint Align web part. It fills the page.
• Publish the page. Team members open that SharePoint URL, or the Teams tab that points to the same site.

1.4 First-Time Setup

While the page is in edit mode, Sprint Align shows a short note: finish the layout, click Publish, and return to the page. Setup does not run in edit mode.

After the page is published, a site owner sees Sprint Align setup. Choose Start setup. Setup creates the hidden lists and the default planning-poker deck for that site, then opens the app.

• Checking existing lists
• Creating SharePoint lists
• Seeding the default planning deck
• Saving site settings
• Ready to use

In Microsoft Teams, finish setup on the SharePoint site behind the team before running sessions there.

Site owners and app admins then open Settings for branding, who can create sessions, and layout.
