Assignments, Workflow, and Planning (CMMI)

[本文档仅供预览,在以后的发行版中可能会发生更改。包含的空白主题用作占位符。]

You track the assignment, progress, and priority of all types of work items by using the fields that are grouped under Status on the work item form.

Most work items move from the Proposed state to Active, Resolved, and then Closed. Test Cases move from the Design state to Closed. As each work item moves from one state to another, the item might also be reassigned to various members of the team. For example, a tester might create a Bug that is assigned to another team member during triage. When the other team member resolves the Bug, it is reassigned to the tester who created it.

You use planning, ranking, and priority fields to specify which work the team should complete first. If you rank Requirements, Tasks, Bugs, and Issues, all team members gain an understanding of the relative importance of the work that they must accomplish. You can use ranking and priority fields to build several reports.

You rank and prioritize work items when you review the backlog for a product or an iteration. For more information, see Workbooks (CMMI).

Tracking Fields that Appear on Work Item Forms

The Assigned To and State fields are tracked for each type of work item that is provided with the process template for Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) for CMMI Process Improvement v5.0. The Reason field is tracked for all types of work items except for test cases and shared steps.

The following table describes the fields that track assignments and workflow progress. For information about data types and default field attributes, see 使用工作项字段.
