Print this topicEmail this topicSave as PDF

The Estimation Board app provides a view of unaccepted stories, defects and defect suites organized by plan estimate sizes. Default sizes are provided when the app is first added. You can customize the sizes for the app by updating the settings under the App Tools menu.

Features

The Estimation Board allows for:

  • Drag & drop controls to quickly change the plan estimate of a story or defect
  • Filtering cards by type
  • Direct links to stories and defects
  • Custom settings for plan estimate sizes

Estimation Board

Some stories and defects will be bucketed into a size where their plan estimates do not exactly match the size column. They are either too small for the larger size or too large for the smaller size. These stories and defects do not have their planned estimates auto-updated to the size of the column on display. They will be auto-updated when dragged to another size.

Settings

To customize the sizes, select Settings from the App Tools drop-down menu. Sizes require a column name and plan estimate value. You can add a new size by clicking the add link. By clicking the delete link to the right of a size, you can delete it. Any of the additions or deletions made in the settings dialog are not saved until the save button is clicked.
