# Assignment groups in Agile Development 2.0

Learn the requirements to create and manage your assignment groups in Agile Development 2.0.

## Creating assignment groups

\[Omitted video\] Description: Creating assignment groups in Agile Development 2.0

A user with the admin role can create assignment groups of the type **Agile Team**. Your scrum teams are represented by these agile groups, which you can use to assign to work items such as stories and epics. For more information, see [Create an assignment group in Agile Development 2.0](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/agile-development/create-an-agile-group.md).

## Adding members to assignment groups

-   New customers: After an agile group is created, you can request your admin to [add](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/agile-development/add-group-members-to-group.md) members to the group.
-   Existing customers: If you upgraded to the Australia release, a user with the scrum\_admin role or the scrum\_master role can add members to your agile group.

    **Note:** You can restrict this function just to the admin by creating the **scrum.disallow\_scrum\_add\_group\_member** property and setting it to **true**. For information on how to create a property, see [Add a system property](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/t_AddAPropertyUsingSysPropsList.md).


For information on the procedure to add members to groups, see [Add members to an assignment group in Agile Development 2.0](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/agile-development/add-group-members-to-group.md)

## Capacity of an assignment group

For each group member, a default number of story points can be defined. At the group level, the sum of these story points determines the group capacity.
