Parent story shown as Done when state is In Progress
We have an iteration plan for a release backlog iteration with some user
stories in a Scrum-based process. The children tasks of the first user story are Planned For a separate iteration. The Planned For field of the parent story is set to the backlog iteration. Two of six of the children tasks are complete. The state of the parent user story is In Progress. The state of the parent user story as displayed above the user story in the backlog iteration plan is set to Done. Is this because there is no work assigned in the release backlog iteration itself? That's expected behavior? There's not a correlation between the state of the story and its status above? Mark Ingebretson |

The work item state is something the users sets, hence, there is no correlation between the state of parent/child work items. The progress bar, which is shown in the work item editor, computes the progress based on its children. If this is your issue, a screen shot would help me understanding this. -- Cheers, Johannes Agile Planning Team |

Thanks, Eitan Not sure - but what you can do is set up the process template to require that all child tasks are closed before the parent can change status. Then this will not happen. |
