Question

4

We have a number of different projects/products that contribute to our offering as a whole. When a new client comes onboard, we create a milestone that is used to track the work required for that client.

We also set up multiple milestones within our individual projects, that represent customizations and new development work relating to that client. These milestones are then set up as dependencies on the global 'client' milestone mentioned above.

What our bosses would like to be able to see, is a list of all the work required to hit that global milestone. This would involve showing all the tasks within all the child milestones of the global one. Is this possible?

If it's not, has this been discussed before? What is the likelihood of this feature 'making the cut'?

+1 to this. This way of working would actually help us a lot – David Mitchell Aug 22 2011 at 15:20

Hmmm. Milestone dependencies are currently causing more support traffic than they're solving. It looks like you're using them correctly, but any work on them would first focus on making sure people don't mess themselves up with these things. Because it's so little used, I'm afraid the chances of this feature making the cut are pretty slim.

	Just as a follow up - we dropped this way of managing things entirely. Milestone dependencies were a good idea in thought, but managing them in practise was nightmarish. – Josh Smeaton Jun 18 2011 at 14:49
	That's usually the case. We need to make the use case for this feature much clearer. – Rich Armstrong♦ Jun 20 2011 at 14:55

Hi, I would like to add my vote for making this work. It is good for the Scrum methodology, when you have to list all cases from several sprints that was done during a Release period. If you will list this in the description of how to use fogbugz with Scrum i bet a lot of people will start using it.

I would also like to add a vote for adding this feature/making it work.

I would also like fogbugz to put up a warning if any case due date falls outside the timeline of the milestone to which it is attached.

Is it possible to display all tasks within dependent milestones?
