Solution
Here is a nice resource resource for you to start with: Implementing Scrum in 10 steps
There is also a really good site with many advices about how to begin with scrum: implementingscrum.com
One way you could easily do the tracking with just the whiteboard is to write your stories/tasks on post-its and also write on them the estimated cost/time. Then you can do your daily meeting near the whiteboard and when developers are talking they write down the real time they have done them. With this information you can build both the burn up and burn down charts.
Problem
We're trying to switch to Scrum as our development process but we're not sure how to implement it in the best way possible. We also don't want to pay for expensive software tools until we get scrum working and get positive results. How can we implement scrum using a whiteboard without asking people to write down their time on the board and then also input into our own time tracking software? What kind of methodologies do you use?
