Hi! I recently reached xp-dev.com’s site by accident and said “one day, I'm going to need this service”. And so it happened! I’m going to start working on a project involving more developers than just me, so I decided to give it a try with the pletora of services provided here!

I find all the project tracking features really useful, and have already read most of the documentation regarding the use of them. But I am still not sure about what Iterations are and how to use them correctly.

Let me share with you my case for instance. I have a main project, and different clients need different features developed for this project, so I create a story grouping related feautres that a client wants. Inside, I create the different tasks that must be performed, and inside I’ll be logging the different bugs that arrise on each case. With this approach I could just leave the Iteration with a default name and a dummy “hour” value because I am not sure how to use it and it won’t affect my workflow...

Unless I’m missing something, in which case I would really appreciate if someone could share his or her knowledge regarding this matter.

Thank you very much!

Federico,
A very grateful user.
