Handling Unfinshed Tasks in a Sprint RTC
What is the best way to handle tasks that are not completed in one Sprint and needs to roll over to the new Sprint. For example, if one has a task that was originally scheduled for 8 hours and 4 hours had been completed by the end of the Sprint, is it best practice to simply change the Planned for field of that task to the next Sprint or make a correction of the hours to 4 hours so that that task can be closed out and then simply open a new one for the new Sprint. I have attempted to search the help section in RTC and this forum but have not been able to find a topic that speaks to handling unfinished tasks so that visibility of actual hours worked from one Sprint to the next is properly accounted for.
Accepted answer
Ademola,
My suggestion would be to edit the original Task > To confirm what was done and what wasn't.
Then you could use a related link and create a New Task in the next Sprint.
It does raise the question "Did you complete the Story for the Sprint"?
If you move tasks into the next sprint then elements of the reporting may not work.
I assume you have Story with Child links to the Tasks?
You could use a Retrospective work item to record this?
Just a suggestion.
