Question

Our product is on the market in several revisions which are all still supported.

For example we have Product A with Revision 1.0.0 and Product A with Revision 1.1.0 on the market.

We plan to bring a service pack 1.1.1 and 1.0.1. Both are developed at the same time.

At the moment I've created a project, "Product A", and several Milestones "1.0.0", "1.0.1", "1.1.0" and "1.1.1".

Would it be better to add different projects to Fogbugz like "Product A 1.0" and "Product A 1.1"?

Answer 1

Service packs which apply to multiple major versions of a product can be done as either global milestones with cases in multiple projects, or as cases for each major version under the same milestone.

If there is a lot of ongoing work on the older version, I think a project may make sense, but if you are primarily working in the latest version, and then back-porting only select bug fixes, I would recommend using just the "1.1.1" milestone with all cases in the Product A project. For the backport, just create another case in the same project and milestone. You could make it a subcase of the actual feature/bug case if that organization helps you.
