Announcement

We will soon be migrating the code repo to GitHub? to allow better social collaboration and contributions from the community.

The code will be posted here in early April'10:  http://github.com/itteco/IttecoTracPlugin

Welcome to IttecoTracPlugin?

  • Itteco Trac Plugin is the implementation of necessary features of agile project management, such as shared whiteboards.
  • Unlike available agile plugins, Itteco Trac Plugin tries to minimalistic approach of Trac itself, and also tries to keep all existing options of flexible configurations.
  • This said, if you install IttecoTracPlugin?, you still are supposed to be able to use all of the features of your previous Trac configurations.

What's new in Itteco Trac Plugin v 0.1

  • Hierarchical milestones (default is 3 levels of hierarchy: release, sprint and build, but you may configure everything)
  • Cross-references of the tickets to other tickets and to wiki pages (updated Edit Ticket form, with easy-to-use search and drag-n-drop or references)
  • Introduction of basic Scope Management by means of incorporating the Scope Element (default name is story, but, again, configurable)
  • Whiteboards (though actually not white) with drag-n-drop of the tickets across statuses, team members, milestones and scope elements

Go see the Version 1 Screenshots that we prepared.

Quality status of the plugin

The plugin is in private beta within Itteco at the moment. Choose to install it at your own risk. Browse the tickets within this Trac instance to see the known issues.

Support of the plugin

The primarily purpose of the plugin is to suite the needs of Itteco. However, we would except all reasonable usability enhancement requests and will definitely consider your suggestions on additional features. As we use the plugin in multiple projects ourselves, we will be more then grateful if you report defects by submitting the ticket. We will fix it on severity basis.

Roadmap of Itteco Trac Plugin

We already have implemented, yet not released the following great features:

  • Reports now support in-line editing of the fields (not only drag-n-drops!)
  • We have new 'Quick Edit' context pop-ups for the tickets, which are accessible e.g. on the whiteboard or from Reports and which you can use in your themes for Trac
  • the Calendar was re-written from scratch, using less heavy js library
  • milestones are extended to be state-full, with the similar workflow to tickets
