Re: [taskjuggler-users] how to handle tasks done 'to soon'

[Bas de Bruijn]

Hi Peter,

In the scenario you use for bookings (your tracking scenario) you should adjust the effort to the effort it has become. Then when the time that has been spent matches the effort your task is considered 'done'.

Hi list,

I'm trying to implement TJ in our team and so far I'm quite happy with it but can't seem to figure out how to handle tasks which were done faster than planned.

I'm using bookings and have a tracking scenario and I regularly freeze the project. On such speedy tasks, some bookings were made and it was also marked as complete 100, even on both scenarios. TJ however keeps scheduling time for this task. 

I could of course change the original effort estimate to match the work done, but then I loose track of the original planning. I though the tracking scenario was used to cope with changes along the way, but it seems to me it only covers delay (which is unfortunately more like reality in some cases ;-) )

Any hints on how to tackle this?

regards,

Peter

Hi Peter and Bas,

In TJ2 I used to mark the unexpectedly quick tasks as "scheduled". This way the scheduler didn't try to re-schedule these tasks at all and the reports only took into account the bookings.

Unfortunately, in TJ3 the "scheduled" attribute doesn't appear to work the same way because when I use it, TJ throws this error:

Error: Task <taskname> is marked as scheduled but does not have a fixed start and end date.

If I add a start date and an end date it looks working, but this is such a waste of time... 

Do you think that this should be reported as a bug?

Regards,

Luca

You probably haven't marked the scenario as tracking scenario. See http://www.taskjuggler.org/tj3/manual/trackingscenario.html

I indeed forgot to define the tracking scenario.

thx!
