FAQ

Why a version is not shown on board?

There are several reasons why a version is not shown on a board:

• A user does not have"Browse project" permissions. In this case, no versions of this project will be shown on the board.

• The version has been archived. In this version of the Release Management app, it is not possible to see archived versions. This feature will be added in future versions.

• The project has been deleted from the board configuration. In cases where the project has been removed from the "Projects in the board" section, all versions will correspondingly disappear.

Why can't I delete a column or change its status?

Usually, it is not possible to delete a column for two reasons:

• The column contains versions. A column with versions inside cannot be deleted. Also, the status of such a column cannot be changed. In order to delete such a column - or change its status - please move the versions to other columns and perform the operation again. Also, it is valid if hidden versions are inside the column. In this case the icon will be shown next to versions count in the table.

• The column is Default. It is not possible to delete or change the status of default columns.

How the projected release date is calculated?

Glossary

• SD - start date

• RD - release date

• PRD - projected release date

• PAD - projected amount of days in version/package

• NDSS - Number of days since version/package started.

• DPV - Done % of work in version

• DPR - Done % of work in package

Formulas

• PRD = SD + PAD;

• PAD = (NDSS*100)/DP;

• NDSS = today-SD (in days)

• DPV = (done_issues_in_version+in_progress_issues_in_version/2)/all_statutes_issues_in_version*100

• DPR = (done_issues_in_all_versions+in_progress_issues_in_all_versions/2)/all_statutes_issues_in_all_versions*100 

Version PRD

Version PRD is calculated when all conditions below are met:

• SD is not empty

• SD is in the past

• % of done work >=30%

• version is unarchived

• version is unreleased

Version delay status

The version is considered as delayed in two cases:

1. RD is not empty and RD is the past

2. RD is not empty and PRD is calculated and PRD > RD

Version delay duration

Version delay duration in days is shown if the version is delayed (see above) and RD is not empty.

Package PRD

Package PRD is calculated in cases:

• All versions in the package have PRD or RD (Each particular Version will have PRD or RD)

• Package PRD=latest RD or PRD of all versions in the package

Package delay status

The package is considered as delayed in two cases:

1. Package RD is not empty and Package RD is the past

2. Package RD is not empty and Package PRD is calculated and Package PRD > Package RD

Package delay duration

Package delay duration in days is shown if the package is delayed (see above) and Package RD is not empty.
