V2 : Feature Request : More Info per work item in an estimate session

Open RafaelKoch opened this issue 5 years ago • 8 comments

Right now we can see the description of a work item. This is often not enough to decide what to vote. This would be helpful:

  • show also the acceptance criteria
  • show the parent tree (especially needed when working with multiple epics having multiple features - developers frequently ask "to what does this belong?". So You end up opening the work item, which shows the feature... which You open to see the parent epic)

How do we work in V1? -> select from a query and start an estimate. In this query include epics and features together with the PBI/Bugs. Then at least the estimate list contains those in order and we are spared clicking too much. As for the Info on the PBI/Bug itselt: no solution but opening it in a new tab. So basically V2 looks like a step into the right direction, being totally awesome if this suggestion finds Your fancy :-)

Perhaps it would be useful to have options to show/hide the acceptance criteria and any other info affecting the layout?

You can click on the Id + Work Item Type to open in a dialog/new tab:

I know I can open a new Tab. That is what on V1 we did all the time. Now on V2 we still do because acceptance or repro is not shown.

The new layout is a great idea and much appreciated, so all the more desirable to follow through with it and get rid ov a navigation pain altogether :-)

This is difficult since work item types could have any shape or number of fields. For now the logic is to look at the Details page of a work item type and take the first HTML field on this page.

We could extend this to look at all HTML fields on Details...

Just had a quick bug estimate with the team today... had to open half of the bugs to see Acceptance Data.

And I have to add: Comments. We would also need the comments.

I am really not into TypeScript and the inner workings of Azure DevOps extensions, so no idea if I am really ruining Your mood here. Sorry for that :-)

This would be a great addition. Perhaps a settings area where you can set which fields to show for each Work Item Type.
