Change Details

As a sprint team, we would like the option to measure work-in-progress (WIP) limits based on card count, to more closely adhere to Kanban standards. At the moment, WIP limits are shown as a total of Story Points. This means that - if a column is filled with un-pointed tasks, the WIP stays at 0. Bugs are commonly 0 points. - WIP is not measured by the Kanban standard of task count. It is uncommon for Kanban to use WIP with points. Acceptance Criteria: - an option to change a board to show WIP by task count in a column, rather than point total (or, alternatively, replace the existing functionality with this one) - preferably, the option is on the board itself, and not in editing the project It's been suggested that simply defaulting all tasks to 1 point solves this issue. However, that raises other issues (for instance, some teams may already be using the Story Points field for actual story-pointing).

As a sprint team, we would like the option to measure work-in-progress (WIP) limits based on card count, to more closely adhere to Kanban standards. On Wikimedia Phabricator we have Points enabled. So, at the moment, a Task has 0 Points as default. So, WIP limits are shown as a total of Story Points and it's not indicative on the actual amount of Task. Current situation: - the "Points count" on a Workboard column is 0, if the column is full of un-Pointed Tasks - WIP cannot be measured by the Kanban standard of task count (it is uncommon for Kanban to use WIP with points - or otherwise it's very uncommon to have a Task = zero by default) Desired situation: - as default, a Task without a Point is assumed as 1 Point - as default, the sum of Task points is therefore the sum of the Tasks Proposal n. 1 - an option: - an option to change a board to show WIP by task count in a column, rather than point total (or, alternatively, replace the existing functionality with this one) - preferably, the option is on the board itself, and not in editing the project It's been suggested that simply defaulting all tasks to 1 point solves this issue.
