  • Hi all, I have taken over development for this plugin. You can find more information about the story behind this move on my weblog: The Trac Burndown plugin for Scrum. I look forward to improve the plugin! Daan
  • Daan from http://stuq.nl/ has graciously volunteered to take over this plugin. He has already come up with a few new features and upgrades, so I'm confident that he'll do a much better job of keeping things up-to-date here than I did. Thanks, Daan!
  • Thanks to everyone for the support and submitted patches to keep this plugin working with newer versions of Trac. I'm sorry that I haven't had any time to maintain this as of late, and my current employers are using Redmine instead of Trac.
  • Note that you may have to click the 'Start Milestone' button for any sprints that you're in the middle of after you upgrade to the latest version.

Installation Instructions

Using the plugin

At the beginning of a sprint, after the tickets have been inputted and estimated in Trac an admin user should click the 'Start Milestone' plugin. This inputs a datetime integer into the milestone table to indicate when the milestone was started. The daily burndown_job.py script will only record hours_remaining entries for milestones that have started, but have not been completed. It should be fairly obvious, then, that an admin user should click the 'Milestone Complete' button at the end of the milestone to prevent the burndown_job from continuing to collect data.

You can view different burndown charts, selectable by milestone and component by choosing from the dropdowns and clicking the 'Show Burndown Chart' button.

In order for this to work, it is imperative that developers keep the 'Estimated Hours' and 'Total Hours' fields accurate and up-to-date on the tickets they are working. The 'Total Hours' field itself should never be manually edited, but rather, it can be changed by inputting positive and negative values into the 'Hours to Add' field.

  • Renamed config.html to admin_burndown.html in order to better ensure that we'll meet the requirements that template names are unique.

burndown.burndown_admin_milestones.burndownmilestonesadminpanel = enabled
burndown.burndown.burndowncomponent = enabled

->

burndown.admin.burndownadminpanel = enabled

Questions

  1. Is there an easy way to move the start date of a sprint into the past? (For example when some tickets of a milestone already have been closed when starting a sprint, immediately after installing this plugin.)
