racker is a story-based project planning tool from Pivotal Labs that allows teams to collaborate and react to real-world changes instantly. It's based on agile software methods, but can be used on a wide range of projects.
-
Tracker maintains a prioritized backlog of project deliverables, broken down into small, estimated pieces, called stories. It dynamically groups these stories into fixed segments of time, called iterations, and it predicts progress based on real historical performance (velocity).
-
A story is small, concrete deliverable for your project
-
describe something that can be verified and accepted by the project's customer
-
To enable story tasks, go to your project settings, and check the 'enable tasks' option under Experimental. You should then be able to add tasks to stories, under the description field. Hover over a task to edit it, delete it, or move it up and down. You can also check off a task when it's complete, but task status does not affect overall story status
-
Velocity is the average number of points accepted per iteration, based on recently completed iterations
-
It measures progress, and allows Tracker to predict when milestones will be completed based on past performance
-
A point is a relative, team-specific measure of effort to complete a feature story. It can be based on something concrete, like ideal engineering days, but over time it becomes an intuitive, relative metric.
-
hen a project is first created, Tracker has no historical data from which to calculate your project velocity. Initial velocity is used as the velocity until the completion of your first few iterations. At that point, Tracker has enough data to calculate your actual velocity and the initial velocity is no longer relevant.
If your project goes without points for long enough that your velocity would be zero, then the initial velocity is used until you re-establish a meaningful velocity.
-
release is a special type of story that represents a milestone in the backlog
-
Releases may be tied to production code pushes or they may simply represent a group of related features.

-
Can a story belong to more than one project?
No
-
Can I tie a bug in Tracker to a bug in my bug tracking system?
-
No, but we may build an API in the future to facilitate integration with popular bug tracking applications
-
Add Sticky NoteFor now, you can include a link
-
I would link from Pivotal Tracker to a <a href="https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12670">note in Chandler Server</a>.
