[question] Sprint as a version and as a phase?

Added by andrea olivotto over 10 years ago

Still working hard on openproject :) :) :-)

I’m thinking about the sprint management in a scrum project management.
There is a “strange” duality, from what I understood till now.

To create a sprint:

- create a fake version Sprint 1, to see the sprint on the roadmap and in the backlogs plugin;
- create a phase Sprint 1 with the same start/due dates, to see the sprint on the timeline.

Some other notes:

- nothing links the version with the phase, every change should be performed in both worlds manually;
- the phase Sprint 1 should be not a father of other work packages, otherwise it will loose the start/due dates as they will be inherit from the children.

Do I understand correctly?

Hello Andrea,

great idea.
Yes, you’re right: Sprints (as versions) currently cannot be displayed in timelines.
This is indeed an inconsistency.
It is actually a planned feature that sprints (versions) should have properties of work packages as well so that they can be displayed in the timeline.
This would however require very significant changes to OpenProject and take quite long to develop. Therefore, it is not immediately planned.

Best,
Robin

Thanks again Robin for your support.

Just a note: Jira already has decoupled sprints from versions because problems like that.
