XPlanner Tips


Use a pseudo-iteration to store unplanned stories
XPlanner doesn't currently have direct support for an unplanned story container. However, most teams create a pseudo-iteration called something like "backlog" or "unplanned stories" with a start date far into the future. Unplanned stories are placed in this container and then moved to an iteration during the planning game.
Use Edit links in aggregate pages
In pages showing tables of objects, use the edit link on each row to edit objects rather than selecting the name link, editing the object and then navigating back to the aggregrate page. This will save many mouse clicks.
Use XSLT to convert XML export data to other formats
You can use an XSLT transform to convert the XML export to formats such as RTF (MS Word), Postscript, or static XHTML pages.
