This app will show you your Pivotal Tracker projects, stories and tasks and allow you to mark tasks as completed and “walk” through your stories.
Just type sudo make install on a GNU/Linux system. To remove, type sudo make uninstall.
To start to use it, just type gtracker and you should see a small icon on your tray bar.
On the first time you run it, Gtracker will ask you for your user name and password. If you have the gnomekeyring Python module installed, it will use the Gnome Keyring to store your information, if not, it will use Gconf to do that.
Clicking on the icon with the mouse right button, you can also configure some items:
- The interval you want to check for new stories or tasks
- If you want your stories descriptions using two lines each
- If you want to insert a separator between each story
And also can start a manual checking.
Clicking with the mouse left button, Gtracker will show you a list of your projects, stories and tasks, but have some filters:
- It will add only projects with stories with some pending actions, not terminated with a ‘Accept’ event
- Will only allow you to work with stories with estimated points. Unestimated stories will only be shown on the menu.
You can see your project stories clicking on the project menu item. Stories will be shown using the following format (with two rows of text if marked on the configuration, see above):
- Name
- Estimated points
- Owner
- If present, how many tasks
You can make stories “walk” thought their states:
- From unstarted or unscheduled to started
- From started to finished
- From finished to delivered
- From delivered to accepted or rejected
If you mark a story as accepted, its menu item will be disabled. If you mark a story as rejected, it will be enabled to be started again.
If a story have one or more tasks, you can see them on a submenu attached to the story menu item. When there is a task submenu, you can’t make changes on your story before completing all the tasks, but if a story state is ‘unstarted’ it will change to ‘started’ when mark a task as completed. After completing all the story task, the submenu will disappear and the story menu item will allow you to make changes on the story.
Clicking on Statistics (available clicking on icon with the mouse right button) you can have a screen with some statistics about your work with stories on the current session.
