Overview

In addition to custom workflows for versions and packages, Release Management app allows to create intermediate milestones for both that could be

• either linked to accomplishments of certain steps in workflow

• or other important check-ins, not necessarily connected with workflow steps

Once specified for versions and/or packages, milestones will be outlined on Roadmap view (incl. Gadgets) as well as become input parameters for Burnup and Trends Reports (incl. Gadgets).

The following sections outlines the functionalities in all the details.

Manage milestones

Add milestone

To add milestone cherry pick any version or package on the board / roadmap to open an “Edit“ dialog. Select “Milestones“ tab. Specify your first milestone title, date and Click “Add“.

...

Sometimes you want to measure progress of your plan items not just by completion the issues comprising the the scope but also intermediate milestones. It might be just a checklist with dates or proper milestones planned and tracked. In “Easy Peasy“ App you can define intermediate milestones for any roadmap item and track it on Roadmap and Calendar views (including the Dashboard Gadgets)

Manage milestones

Click on any item on Roadmap or Calendar to open details popup. Navigate to Milestones tab unless this is the last tab you used (will be redirected automatically)

...

Add milestone

Adding milestone is easy - just put a name, date and click “Add“.

...

Edit milestone

We support in-line editing for Milestones so pick the property you want to change and alter.

...

Achieved flag & date

Milestone could be marked as “Achieved“ or not (by default). This could happen either manually clicking on the slider:

...

or automatically by moving version/release into specific column (status):

...

Once “Achieved“ flag is set the App will remember the date and amend “Achieved date” property of milestone.

Color coding

If you miss Milestone or create one in the past it will be colored in Red.

...

If you schedule a Milestone outside the boundaries of the version/release defined by Start/Release date it will be colored in Yellow.

...

By default all milestones are not-achieved. You manually need to check it for this to change - milestone becoming achieved and achieved date is populated automatically.

...

If you need to change achieved date this is also possible - just click on it and pick up a new date.

Color coding

We use some predefined color coding for milestones to visually differentiate them, namely

• Grey - not achieved and not delayed

• Red - Not achieved and delayed

• Orange - achieved and delayed

• Green - achieved and not delayed

...

Ordering milestones

Milestones are ordered the way you create it. To change it, just drag and drop specific row to the place you want to keep it.

...

Delete milestones

To delete Milestone click on “X“. The confirmation pop up will show up. Upon confirmation milestone will be permanently deleted.
