Defining feature types in Silver Catalyst
Posted on June 20th, 2009 in Silver Catalyst by siddharta || No Comment
We released a new feature last week – the ability to define the type of each feature.
Silver Catalyst supports six types of work items: Feature, Bug, Support, Enhancement, Spike and Chore.
Feature: Use this to define new feature implementations
Bug: Bugs reported for work completed in previous iterations
Support: Use this for customer support requests. This is useful when you want to put support requests in the same backlog as the rest of the features
Enhancement: Enhancement for an existing feature
Spike: Use this item for creating spikes. Spikes are investigative feature when you don’t have enough information to estimate a feature
Chore: Chores are technical tasks like refactoring, cleaning up parts of the code and so on
Feature cards are colour coded in the backlog and taskboard so you can easily see what type of feature it is.
