Technical solution

Solution is based on MantisBT custom fields feature. In plugin configuration, user must select/configure :

  • Three custom fields of type NUMERIC :
    • One for work progression
    • One for estimated workload
    • One for done workload
  • Percentage of higher remaining work to warn about
  • Issue status threshold to warn about higher remaining work
  • Percentage of lower progress to warn about
