    Planning releases

    Title:
    Planning releases
    Summary:

    I am not sure if anyone is responding to my prblem. Copied again

    As I mentioned before I just realized that we skipped the release creation step for the first two sprints. As a result the release shows up as unscheduled.

     

    The release should consist of the 2 completed sprints, current sprint and next sprint. I created a release and I thought it will be easy for me to go to each user story and edit the release from unscheduled to the new release I created.

     

    Unfortunately the release dropdown does not show the newly created release.

    Note:

    When I try to a new story, system allows me to pick the newly created release. The problem is only with edit.

    Full Description:

    ===========================================

    Case #19967: Planning releases

    Here is the problem

     

    we have completed 2 iterations without assigning it to a release.

     

    Now I created a release. But system is not allowing me to assign the user story from the completed iterations to this release.

     

    On the edit UI, the drop down for release does not show the new release name created. It has only one option "Unscheduled"

    ===========================================

      Venu,

      I suspect the reason you are having difficulties is due to the location of where you created your release.

      If you create a release at the parent project level and do not check the option to create matching releases in child projects, the release will not be available in a child project.

      Additionally, if you create a release in a child project, it will be unique to that project and will not be shared to a parent project or a lower child project.

      If you find you've created a project at either of these levels, you can create the exact same release in the other projects provided the names and dates are the same as the original release you've created.

      If have any questions, please let me know.

      Matt

      Hi Venu,

      Burndown chart data is compiled every morning for the previous day's activities. Since you've created a release afterwords and then back-filled in the stories to it, data collection ran but didn't have anything to compare it to. Unfortunately, this is a limitation of our current reporting. You will have progress towards all of your work going forward, however.

      Please let me know if you have any questions.

      Thanks,

      Matt Harutun
