Steve,

Maybe not quite what you're after but after working with the scrum burndown
plugin and the gaant chart plugin and the time and estimation plugin here's
where we are currently:

We have three custom ticket fields: original_estimate, current_estimate, and
time_spent (these may or may not correspond to custom fields added by any of
the above plugins, I can't remember).

For each sprint (i.e., Trac Milestone), a copy of an MS Excel reporting
spreadsheet is made by our scrum master and updated with the total hours
available in the sprint. Each (work) day, they run a Trac report that
includes the above custom fields, download the CSV version of the report and
cut/paste into the MS Excel reporting spreadsheet.

While not a perfect system, it was the simplest way to address:

 * setting and reporting against the total hours available in any given
sprint
 * snapshotting each days progress to support burndown/burnup charting
 * other ad hoc reporting, e.g.:
   * how good are our estimates?
   * how much time are we spending on production support vs. development
task (yeah, we've got some legacy systems)

As much as I'd like to have the above capabilities available within Trac for
all to see, plugin solutions seemed too generic the last time we looked.
Everyone seems to have slightly (or not so slightly!) different ideas/needs
when it comes to tracking agile projects, and our team is no different.

HTH,
Doug

P.S. We're still running on Trac 0.9.5.

P.S.S. Please don't take any of my comments as being negative of the plugins
mentioned or of Trac. I applaud OSS and those who give freely of their
efforts. I and our team give back in what small ways we are able.
