Current iteration check box in query
Hi, the meaning of the 'current iteration' checkbox in the query builder
is to mean only the iteration marked as current. We have some teams working on 2 week iterations and some on 4 week iterations. The ones working on 4 week iterations use an iteration which is the parent of the current 2 week iteration. But this means (from the query builder perspective) that only the 2 week iteration is current. This causes problems for people working to 4 week iterations using the 'current iteration' flag on the query builder. e.g. team 1 works to 4 week iteration, team 2 works to 2 week iterations (the end dates of the 4 week iterations are the same as the end date of every-other 2 week iteration). Iteration I1 has two child iterations I1A and I1B. Team 1 creates iteration plans from I1, I2, I3 etc. Team 2 creates iteration plans from I1A, I1B, I2A, I2B etc. If we make I1A the current iteration, team 2 is happy as the work they're planning in their I1A iteration plan can be found via a query for work items in 'current iteration'. However, team 1 is not happy as they are working on a plan for I1 and since I1A is the current iteration and not I1 they are not working on the current iteration and can't find their work items through a query on 'current iteration'. Setting the current iteration to I1 has a similar problem. Does anyone have any advice here? Perhaps I should open an enhancement for a check-box on the 'planned for' condition 'current and parent iterations'? Thanks, Jeremy |

Does anyone have any advice here? Perhaps I should open an enhancement The Current Iteration variable is actually a 'Current Iterations' variable (it includes all iterations marked as 'current'). So if the teams would work on iterations in different timelines, both would see the right work items. This doesn't solve your problem, though, and I think a request for a 'current iteration and its parent chain' variable certainly makes sense. -- Regards, Patrick Jazz Work Item Team |
