We just started assigning points to tickets at MetaMetrics using redmine. This looks like a tool that would definitely improve our Scrum experience. Sounds like you guys get to work on some really cool stuff there!

I really have no idea who came up with this use or the data format. I just learned that it was being used for this and dreamed of pretty graphs :)

The data is grabbed from the Bugzilla API on the server side via the excellent Slumber REST client library. It is pulled on demand, and then cached for a set period of time. I did this to reduce the calls to Bugzilla. I wasn’t sure how much this would be used initially, so I didn’t see a point in having it hit the API unless someone was actually interested in the data. At the bottom of each sprint page you can see when the data was last refreshed, and if you really want fresh data before the timeout you can “shift-refresh”, which will tell the server to clear the cache for that sprint.

Using the whiteboard as a vehicle for this data is really smart.

Does scrumbugs pull in the data on a cron job or something, or is this all done client-side?
