Sorry for the delay. I've been up to my *&^%$% in alligators so
I've been delayed in draining the swamp.<br>
What you state IS workable. We do not move the finished "Stories"
to a review queue, we just added a Ticket Status" of QA testing. We run
our queries accordingly and review the "QA" results of the stories in
that status.<br>
The answer to your question as to navigating to/from child tickets
in the Web is YES. However, I think that the 3.8.2 makes it MUCH easier
to create them.<br>
The rolling up of child data (like time) into the parent is
something you could do, but you would have to create your own cron job
to do that. I haven't seen anything like that in delivered RT.<br>
Hope this helps.<br>

Based on what you say it seems like the following might work.
Each project/team has a BACKLOG QUEUE of stories(requirements). The
product owner regularly prioritizes them.
During the fortnightly planning meeting the product owner selects some
stories from the BACKLOG and moves them to the CURRENT SPRINT QUEUE
prioritizing them as he/she does so.
Team members select stories from the CURRENT SPRINT QUEUE and add child
tasks.
When all the tasks are done for a particular story, the story is moved
to a REVIEW QUEUE.
During the sprint review meeting the product owner reviews the features
related to stories in the REVIEW QUEUE and stories are marked as done.
Is it possible to roll up child data into a parent?
The question might be how many hours of work are remaining for this
story?
Hours work for a story(parent) = sum of remaining work estimate for all
its tasks(child).
Is it easy to create child tasks? And navigate through them via the web
interface?
Thanks

<pre wrap="">Rudiger,
I'm not sure what you mean when you refer to "SCRUM". However, we
ARE supporting many software applications with technical support teams
and Queues oriented for each application/team. We have 1 queue
specifically designed to act as the initial request Queue where tickets
are reviewed and prioritized, then (if approved) moved to the queue that
supports the application the ticket is asking work for. For example, one
large support group, Financial, supports all the various software
dealing with our financial organizations and they have 12 different
queues for that activity. There are, consequently at least 24 different
groups, where each queue has a user group that WORKS on the tickets and
another that is allowed to CREATE tickets (some that have the same
members). Our structure for privileges is rather tight (only a couple
for "Priviliged" Users. Mostly Queue-oriented)) that allow for keeping
tickets secure (only the OWNER and the Queue Manager can Modify a
Ticket) within their queue. We also have a QA Workflow process that
ensures our standard for QA Approval is followed before a ticket is
allowed to be "QA Approved" and then Resolved (for example, we NEVER
allow the ticket owner to QA Approve their own work). A separate user
from the QA Approval group are the only ones with privileges to modify
the CF that is used to indicate QA Approval.
Anyway, that's pretty much a summary of how we do things. If the
details of any of this will help you, then I'd be glad to share how we
do it.
