Is the RTC behavior for task totals as expected?
I found out a situation that I can not explain the reason.
One story has 3 tasks: task 1 -- estimate 4 hours, status in progress, time remaining 3 hours task 2 -- estimate 3 hours, status not started task 3 -- estimate 2 hours ,status not started My task total shows 1 hour time spent, 9 hours total. (1/9) Case 1: I change task 1 status to "drop", my task total changes to 6 Case 2: (independent of case 1). I change task 2 status to drop, my time spent changes to 4, task total stays at 9 hours In summary, dropping an in progress task removes the remaining hours from the task total ( which is fine) But dropping a not started task adds up to the time spent, which should not be the case. Is this an issue in the tool? thank you Aysim Dalmau |

Hi,
I ran a query to verify the reported velocity and realized that dropped stories (with story points) are also included in the velocity calculation for the iteration. Shouldn't velocity be only "completed" story points? thank you, Aysim Dalmau |

Hi, Are you using the Team Velocity report? Or some other means of calculating the velocity? If you're using the report, the height of each bar represents the sum total of all story points represented by *closed* story work items targeted for that iteration. james RTC Reports Team Lead |

I run the team velocity report and micro team velocity report for our past iteration. It shows on the Y axis 127.5 points. when I run a query for the past iteration for complete stories, I get 124.5 points. The difference of 3 points belong to a story that was dropped. There was no task that was marked complete under that dropped story. Thank you Aysim |
The data shown in the velocity reports can be 24 hours stale. Could that be the reason for the difference? Remember most reports get their data from the data warehouse which only gets updated around midnight.

We have a number of the same tasks under various stories. I want to be able to copy/paste them from one story to another and then edit task attributes. Is there a way to copy/paste work items?
thanks, Aysim |
I want to custom a report, and I need the total "time spent", the total "estimate", but some work item lots of subitem which also contain some children, so I find it is difficult to calculate the the total result using BIRT, because using the Jazz Data Source, I can not operate the data with SQL.
There is any good method to calculate those total values? Thanks. |
