Hello there,
I have the following problem:
My test team tests for 4 different teams, we do the acceptance testing. Due to reasons, our test period starts when the team's sprints are done.
The setup that the teams have today is that they "own" the Done status, i.e they are the ones closing the Story (Done is the status of the last column on their boards). That means that we have to reopen the story in order to work with it which if course means extra work and headaches. I would want the teams to use e.g Ready for Release instead of Done. Ready for release however is not a "Closed status" and the concern that the teams have is that their burndowns and other statistics will be messed up.
So my question is: If the teams were to use the Ready for Release status instead of Done, would that make any difference for their burndown etc? My hypothisis is that the status of the last column of their board is what dictates "done" for them, and that they do not need the actual Done status. Does anyone know for sure how this works?
Kind regards
Ann
