Problem with Story Point total in Plan page


Devivaraprasad Bolisetti (261819) | asked Nov 03 '11, 2:36 a.m.
This was not a problem earlier, so seems to be a new issue. The way we sometimes create user stories is as follows :

Story A - 100 points
Story B - 13 points
Story C - 8 points
etc.

In this example, if we included Story B and Story C in an iteration, then RTC would total the story points at 121 instead of 21. It should not be counting any stories that are planned for the Backlog. Is this a bug or are we doing something wrong in the setup of our plans ?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Please provide more details about the team and iteration structure and also the plan type, owner and the iteration that is set.

Yes, the "load" for the iteration should be just the stories planned for
that iteration ... so it must be something about your configuration
(Note: I just tried this in 3.5M3, and it works fine.)

Cheers,
Geoff
