My team is used to SCRUMing using Jira, where they had tasks with
start/stop work button, and inputting total hours spent after closing
the task.
I tried to get the same functionality with Trac plugins (Worklog and
TracHours), but they don't work at all (they expect Tickets, and not
AgiloTickets).
So the motivation is to:
-have the ability to indicate starting to work on a task, and then
stop/pause it to do some other task (leaving the original task in the
accepted status)
-keep track of the time spent on tasks in such a scenario
-report what is a team member doing now (which task), hours spent on
tasks, hours remaining, etc, as in the plugins mentioned before
-have the ability to manually enter the total time spent on a task
How to accomplish this using Agilo?
Agilo is designed to show the status of the whole team at all times
instead of providing fine grained reports about who did what.
This is why a task can be set to "in progress" but not "in pause".
The idea behind a task is that it should be an atomic unit of work,
so that the team member can focus on it without interruptions.
Regarding time tracking, in Agilo the concept of time remaining
is much more important that the time spent, in order to deliver value.
Therefore you can create a custom field to store the total amount of time
spent, and even have it summed up at a story level, but what really matters
for what the scrum artifacts are concerned (i.e. burndown charts...)
is the time remaining.
Hope this helps
