Overview

To plan a sprint there are two basic sets of tasks: cleaning up the left over bugs that have accumulated during the past sprints and then working on a set of predictable tasks. This page lists those predictable tasks and some notes about the various releases. In the burndown chart built by Jira, there is a Time Spent column that tells how long each of the various tasks really took. While it's impossible to predict how long some of the stuff will take, previous performance is the best tool we've got, as they say...
