  2. Select mifos project. To see all cards for a release, select Context On the Fly and version to the release you are looking for.

View Core Planning

To view Core Planning, select Planning Board, mifos project, context = Core Planning, version to the current iteration. This will show a view of all cards sorted by rank due in this current iteration being done by Core planning.

Other Contexts

There are other contexts for viewing each team for planning purposes.

Fields

  • Fix Version - if this is being worked in the current release, select both the release version (ie Release E) AND the iteration it is planned for (ie Release E - Iteration 2)
  • Scheduled For - if it is planned for in the release, select Release. If not, select Product. If unsure, leave blank
  • Team - select the Team that will be working on the card - like Core, GSoC, Thoughtworks, etc
  • Epic - if it is in the current release, there is an Epic it should be long to. Use filter "E Core Epics" to find an epic the card will belong in.
  • Story Points - enter # of story points it will take to resolve the card. This field must be completed to move a card to In Progress.

Developers

If you are working on a card, and you notice the Team is set to a different Team than your own, be sure to change it to the Team you are on before you resolve the card.

Assigning Cards

If you are assigned an issue to comment on, please add your comments and assign it back to the right person.  If you do not, assign it to Unassigned, or you will be on the hook to fix the issue.
