= Manage agile projects through Trac

== Description

The [http://www.agile-trac.org Agile-Trac plugin] allows you to use Trac within an agile project environment.

Key features:
  * Iterations are added along with an Iterations page.
  * Tickets now have relatively sized completion stages: one or more completion stages can be defined for a tickets where each completion stage has associated with it a relative size and a completion date.
  * Tickets are closed when all completion stages are Done.
  * The Roadmap page is enhanced with a milestone summary view showing estimated completion dates which are based on previous iteration progress.
  * The Roadmap shows which tickets are associated with which iterations.
  * Progress bars are relatively sized to provide a better indication of the size of Iterations and Milestones.
  * Milestones can now be ordered by priority making it easier to split large Milestones in to smaller Milestones.
  * Milestones with the same priority may be weighted so that the effect of them running in parallel can be estimated.

To learn more about [http://www.agile-trac.org agile-trac] and for instructions on how to install the plugin and patch please go to the self-hosting http://www.agile-trac.org website. This site uses [http://www.agile-trac.org agile-trac] so browsing it should give fair idea of what the plugin offers.
