Is there any way to set it so that items only appear in the middle once they've been 'accepted' ? i.e. the developer has confirmed that the task will be done during the sprint?
As the workflow is highly configurable, the only known states we have are 'new' and 'closed'. In order be as compatible as possible with all the extensions, we treat everything else as 'in progress'.
Assigning tasks beforehand is dangerous from a scrum pov, especially if your teams grows.
* We also had the project debriefing from our first Trac sprint, and the main feedback from the project management team was "How do we know how much work was done?".
Show them the user stories you did ;-) Teach them to make contract for user stories, not for hours ;-)
I know that this is the 'old' style of PM, but sometimes we want to charge the customer for the number of developer hours spent on doing their particular story. At the end of the project, the PM wants to see how many hours it took, to do the usual wet-finger-in-the-air multiplier, and then add three zeros ;-) Would it be feasible to have a popup or something, such that when a task is being closed (remaining time set to zero?), it shows the history of "remaining time" changes since the task was created, shows what *it* thinks is the total time taken, and then prompts the user for an estimate of the real number of hours that were taken? Does this even make sense?!
Sounds very complicated. We intended to keep the interface as slick as possible. I think it is way easier in your situation to go to the normal ticket edit page (you have link from the whiteboard to the ticket page).
