divi-it-up

This Aha! Develop extension provides an interactive way for a team to divide up for the work from current iteration amongst its team members.

Usage

The extension is broken into two components...

1. DiviItUp Voting

To enable DiviItUp Voting, an account administrator will need to create a custom layout for your Feature and Requirement records including the extension field named DiviItUp Voting. Once that field is added to the active lyout, all users in the account using this extension will see this field.

That field is for users to weigh in on a record / unit of work with whether or not they want to take it. They can answer with one of the following:

I'll take it
I'm neutral
I'll pass

The workflow for this extension is to have team members review and weigh in on a record before planning the next iteration. That way, at the iteration planning meeting, their feedback on a record is already known and assigning work is quick and easy using the DiviItUp Board.

2. DiviItUp Board

The DiviItUp Board shows a list of assigned and unassigned records from the current iteration in the left column. When a user, typically a team lead, selects a record, the details of that record populate in the right panel showing the record details and how everyone in your team voted for this record.

**Note: If someone did not vote for a record, they are defaulted to the I'm Neutral column.

From here, the team lead can determine who should be assigned the work based on the team member's inputs and each member's workload for the iteration based on the already assigned records. Once you determine who should be assigned the record, simply click the Assign button next to that user.
