New release of Team Foundation Task Board Enhancer

This is a very minor release, it brings a new feature and support for TFS 2013 Update 2 (release candidate)

New Features in this release

Show requirements execution summary

In the taskboard, under your sprint details you can now see a summary of the completed requirements.

(when I say requirements, it means work items in the requirement category (the first column on the task board). For Example Product Backlog Items for Scrum or User Stories in MSF.

The shown value, is not related to the effort spent on the tasks, but the effort related to the work items in the requirements category.

For example in Scrum it’s the Effort field

whereas in MSF Agile it’s the Story Points field

The summary shows how many points (let’s call it that for simplification purposes) have been already completed out of the total points for this sprint.

Support for TFS 2013 Update 2 (release candidate)

Two weeks ago Release Candidate for TFS 2013 was released it is not the final release, but it has a go-live license, which means it is fully supported and you can use it on production environments.

Update 2, introduced some minor internal changes and this release has adapted to them. If you want to use task board enhancer on Update 2, you will need to install this version.

If you were using VSO Enhancer you would need to upgrade anything everything is taken cared automatically, update 2 was supported even before it was released.Smile
