Tracker Custom Points¶ ↑

Quick Start¶ ↑

cp config.yml.example ~/.tracker_custom_points_config.yml
vi ~/.tracker_custom_points_config.yml
tracker_custom_points.rb

Custom Point Values for Pivotal Tracker¶ ↑

Pivotal Tracker has three options when it comes to 
point values: Powers of Two, Fibonacci and Linear.

I wanted to be able to use the Planning Poker cards
and use ?, 0, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40, 100
and infinity as point values.

Mapping Planning Poker to Pivotal Tracker¶ ↑

This script has a mapping table that maps Tracker's 
point values to the planning poker values and vice-versa.

Default Point Mapping:
  Poker Points          Pivotal Tracker Points
  ===============       ===============================
  0, 1/2                0 
  1, 2                  1 
  3, 5                  2 
  8, 13                 3 
  20, 40                5 
  100                   8 

If you want to modify these mappings, copy mappings.yml to 
~/.tracker_custom_points_mappings.yml.

How this script works¶ ↑

This script will look through your Pivotal Tracker Project(s)
and for each unfinished story, it will set the estimate in 
Pivotal Tracker.  

In your pivotal tracker subject line, add the Planning Poker
point estimate.  

Change

  Implement Login Page

to

  (5) Implement Login Page

This script will then change the point estimate on that story
according to your mappings.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
