Registration in Yandex Tracker
To register in Yandex Tracker, go to the website and click the “Register” button. If you have an account in Yandex Cloud, click “Log in to Tracker”. If you are using Yandex cloud services for the first time, you will need the organization’s TIN, Yandex email, and bank card number to register.
Further registration in Yandex Tracker will be the same for both new users and Yandex Cloud users. We will talk about registration from an account in Yandex Cloud. To do this, click the “Log in to Tracker” button.
When you go to Yandex Cloud, the service will display a template selection. For example, we will select a basic template – this is a simple task board for small teams. To do this, click on it, then click the “Continue” button. If the board is needed for several teams or advanced features are required, there are other templates:
1. Project Management — a board for multiple teams to work on.
2. Development — a task board with a backlog and sprints, where you can plan sprints, estimate tasks, and control the task progress.
3. Support — a simple task board with advanced features for the support service. For example, it provides statuses and resolutions (resolved — not resolved).
