Issue weight
To be able to use GitLab issues as a scrum tool, it'd be great if you could view the weight / total weight of issues. For instance in the milestone view, where you could see how much work all the issues are together and what percentage is done.
I want to discuss a way to do this, that doesn't introduce a million new text inputs, dropdowns and others. Some proposals below
As labels
One proposal is to base it on labels, where a label weight: 1
will have as special power that all weight: X
labels in a milestone are summed.
We could add the weight: X
, where X
is Fibonacci up until 8 to the suggested set of labels.
As button
Add a single button in an issue that you can click to cycle through either the Fibonacci or t-shirt sizes. Or multiple buttons: [0][1][2][3][5][8]
.
This is probably the most user friendly solution.
As text field
Add a single field that allows you to set any number.
