Release Attributes

The RMsis Releases are closely associated with JIRA versions. In general the following rules apply

  • Some of the Release Attributes are computed automatically.
  • Rest of the RMsis Release attributes can be modified independently only before it's Sync with JIRA.
  • Once it is Sync with JIRA, the values of common attributed are acquired from the corresponding JIRA versions.

A release has the following attributes:

  • Release Name: This field specifies name of the release.
  • Release Description: 
    • Before sync with JIRA, this field contains a user provided description of release.
    • After sync with JIRA, this is a copy of the Release Description provided in JIRA.
  • Planned Effort:This field specifies planned effort for the release. This field is non editable and calculated automatically from the following
    • Planned Effort specified with the Requirements
    • Planned Effort specified with the artifacts
    • Total Effort calculated by summing up the above two.
  • Actual Effort:This field specifies actual effort for the release. This field is non editable and calculated automatically from the following
    • Actual Effort specified with the Requirements.
    • Actual Effort specified in the attached artifacts.
    • Total Effort calculated by summing up the above two.
  • Planned Date: This field specifies planned date for the release and it is set when a Sync with JIRA is triggered for the first time.
  • Actual Date: This field contains current date specified for the release.
    • It is set whenever a Sync with JIRA happens.
    • The Releases are sorted as per this date.
  • When RMsis releases are not defined in JIRA, the Project Lead can specify planned and actual dates on RMsis side.
  • Release Status: This field specifies status of the release.
    • Before Sync with JIRA, possible values are "Planned", "On Going" and "Closed".
    • When the JIRA version is set to Released, then RMsis Release status is changed to Closed.

Notes
  • If an artifact is associated with two fixed versions, then it's effort is equally distributed among those.
