Trackers -vs- task progress #6

Closed sugendran closed 14 years ago

sugendran commented 14 years ago

Hi,

Is there a way to have the project trackers to be displayed instead of the current task progress list - or maybe a way to map a tracker to an item in the progress list.

Ideally I would like to be able to drop a task into the 'testing' tracker column before it gets marked as complete.

I don't fully understand what you mean. Trackers are connected to tasks (issues). In means of my plugin task progress is insignificant (0- pending, from 1 to 99 in progress, 100- done). Plugin is displaying sprint and user story progress- US on burndown chart, and sprint in % on spirnt header. I don't believe that it is the best way to manage tasks by changing tracers. I would rater change status of task to testing and keep it on "in progress" swimline. I may be nice, but I have some more things planned before like: client acceptance, documentation generation, diagram generation, velocity planning and continous integration.

Right now I have the following trackers: New, In Progress, Resolved, In Testing, Closed.

I'm just looking for a way to mark a task ready for testing so that the testers can do their bit before it gets moved to the closed column.

PS: We're trying out scrum in our development process, so I apologise if this is not normal process for scrum.

Im not sure if its right way to use trackers. I would rather use issue statuses for that purpose. Maybe durinig weekend I will post update so that you will be able to change task status to testing or any other in dashboard view.

I've added statuses to issues. You can change status from dashboard view. Hope it helps.
