Question

When I move a user story from one iteration to another in TFS 2010, I then have to update the iteration in each child task manually. Otherwise it retains the previous iteration value and the various reports and filters don’t produce the intended result.

Can anyone recommend a method, or extension, that will either keep the task iterations synchronised to their user story iterations automatically, or failing that, do it for all user stories/tasks in a product on demand?

Answer 1

Try TFS Aggregator

Example Uses

• Update the state of a Bug, PBI (or any parent) to “In Progress” when a child gets moved to “In Progress”
• Update the state of a Bug, PBI (or any parent) to “Done” when all children get moved to “Done” or “Removed”
• Update the “Work Remaining” on a Bug, PBI, etc with the sum of all the Task’s “Work Remaining”.
• Update the “Work Remaining” on a Sprint with the sum of all the “Work Remaining” of its grandchildren (i.e. tasks of the PBIs and Bugs in the Sprint).
• Sum up totals on a single work item (ie Dev Estimate + Test Estimate = Total Estimate)
