Is there anyway I can see my sub-tasks on Plan mode on Rapid board?

Ryan Kim April 19, 2012

I'm using OnDemand version of greenhopper and version is 5.9.1

When I'm planning my sprint, I add tasks while I'm plannig so that I can estimate more accurately.

But I cannot see any sub-tasks after I add sub-task on Plan mode on Rapid board.

I can check all that on Planning board or work mode after I add bunch of stories to sprint,

but somehow not on Plan Mode.

Is there anyway I can see them on Plan Mode?

Well that sucks because of course you want to be able to plan sub-tasks into a sprint, and not an entire Epic that may span over many weeks.

Actually no. if you are having stories (I guess you meant stories than Epics) that spreads across sprints, it's high time to look at how stories are getting defined. It may be too much in size which usually indicates an issue in the project/team/practices setup.

A story can be rather large and can go past one sprints worth of resources. I don't think you can say a story is too big and needs to be broken down. What is the point of subtasks if you can't see them and prioritize them. Perhaps you have subtasks that are more important than others?

I don't think subtask can be manage in plan mode of rapid board. However subtasks will be visible on the work mode of the rapid board. The filter does rule the board with some additional restrictions (these are specific to Scrum boards, Kanban has different restrictions)

  • Plan mode will only display issues with a status that is in one of the columns of the work mode (except the last column). It will also not show sub tasks.
  • Work mode will only display issues with sprint in openSprints() and status in one of the columns

The ability to add stories to a Sprint (drag and drop the issue in Plan mode on to the active sprint). I notice there is feature request raised in Atlassian, please see GHS-6825 for reference. However, the ticket status was stated Won't Fix and please see the developer comment here.

I guess no, the concept, I assume is that sub-tasks are for sprint planning for detailed break down, and the plan mode in Rapid View is for stories to be prioritized.

This seems to say you can, but either it is wrong, or I misread it: https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=219024697
