We copies the milestone and issue type from the formal template into scrum
I have a sprint plan with two items: story, that has been sized a milestone The progress bar shows that I have estimated only 50% of my work items. This is true, but unfair, since milestones are never estimated. The same behavior happens for issues. I notice that milestone include attributes for estimate and actual, presumably to facilitate morphing a work item into some other type. I thought of deleting the estimate attribute and removing the type field presentation, but it looks like (through the GUI) I can only delete custom fields that I've added. Nor does it look like I can set a default for a duration type. Any advice here? We could leave issues and milestones in the backlog -- and that might be the answer -- but it would be nice to at least see issues in-line with the in-progress plan. |

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER We copies the milestone and issue type from the formal template into scrum For starters, I tested this with a Formal template and got similar results. At least in the Formal template presentations, you can't even enter estimates for milestones and issues if you wanted to. That should not count against your quality of planning and I have created an Enhancement to track this: https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=212911 Please add yourself as a subscriber if you want to track this and add comments if you wish. In the case of reusing these items from the Formal template in a Scrum project, I'm less clear what the supported behavior should be (the scheduling mechanisms are different, though I would hope a similar result could be accommodated). I also don't see a way to add a default Duration for the Estimate -- and even if you could, I'm not sure a value of 0 would be counted as an estimate. |
