Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

I have downloaded and installed the Scrum plugin from https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/scrum, but I have no idea how to use it. There is any instructions?

Regards.

You can try to contact the author of the plugin.
AFAIK John is one of the typical developers who is great when writing code but does not like writing docs

Now is working fine and I can see how looks. Is interesting this view of the tasks and version. Sadly it does not match the SCRUM philosophy unless every Mantis version is taken as a Scrum Sprint. Would be fine if I could make dependency it Mantis versions, so a product version could be composed by several springs.

Is there any problem working this way? Call your versions 1.0 Sprint 1, 1.0 Sprint 2, .... 1.0 Final.

Hi,

I've patched the Scrum plugin to make it suit my needs a bit better, and attached it if anyone finds my changes usable. The patch is using 3 custom fields used on all issues

• - Rem.Work : Remaining Work is the remaining work to solve the issue
  - Act.Work : Actual Work is the actual work performed
  - Est.Work : Estimated Work is the initial guess

I've removed the use of 'commit count' on the issue Scrum Board and writing the work instead, along with a total bar at the top. The version drop down list will initial select a version called 'Sprint Backlog' as default and an extra column is added.

I would like to commit my changes into the github mentioned above, but I'm not sure of the right approach (Can I just do that?, should my changes be approved?, isn't there any validation or test?, ...) so could anyone guide me?

I would also like to discuss future improvements like (I can make some, but my PHP is a bit rusty and I'm not that into Mantis framework)

• - Per project configuration of workflow (Number of columns)
  - Per project configuration of sprint length
  - Per project configuration of custom fields used
  - A select field on each issue and a drop down box with a button like the one on the view issues page
  - A burn down chart that doesn't require manual update

Regards
