Focal is a tool to create sexy burndowns from one ore more Pivotal Tracker projects.
Note: at this time Focal is still in early development and probably not usable for anything else than adding more features and fixing bugs.
See the github wiki for more details.
With focal it's easy to get insight into your current and past iterations. With all the data that focal gathers on a daily basis it's also possible to create more detailed and interesting graphs and charts.
Simple clone and push to Heroku. A PostgreSQL database will be created for you.
Migrate the database
heroku run bundle exec rake db:migrate
Login and change password
/admin
Default ActiveAdmin credentials apply: admin@example.com with password.
Change these directly!
Configure a burndown
Create a new burndown. Fill in the entire form.
Import manually
Import data manually to see if everything's working okay:
heroku run bundle exec rake focal:import
You should now be able to see a burndown at /burndowns/:id.
Schedule imports
Add the Heroku scheduler add-on and schedule a daily job, preferably about an hour or so before your stand-up with this command:
bundle exec rake focal:import
That's all there is to it. Feel free to create more burndowns if you like.
Focal is tested against ruby 1.9.3 and ruby-2.0.0. Setting Focal up for local development is pretty straight forward:
bundle install
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed # To generate a sample burndown
A rake task exists if you want to pull real data from Pivotal Tracker (note that this does not work with the seed burndown):
rake focal:import
Focal is a Kabisa initiative.
