Rally Time: Easily Convert Developer Time to Rally Actual Points
Rally Time is a Chrome extension developed by kcoose that allows developers to easily convert Jira-like developer time to Rally-style points on any User Story. With this extension, users can enter shorthand time like "1d 5h 30m" and even enter multiple times for group pairing.
One of the key features of Rally Time is the ability to copy the calculated points and set them to the Estimated Plan or Actual Points fields on a User Story. This makes it convenient for developers to quickly convert their time estimates without the need for manual calculations.
The extension also offers customization options in the settings, allowing users to customize variables for calculating points. These settings are saved to Chrome storage, ensuring that the user's preferences are retained even after closing the browser.
To use Rally Time, users simply need to refresh any old Rally tab that was opened before installing the plugin and pin the extension to their Chrome for quick and easy access. Clicking the Rally Time extension opens a pop-up where users can enter times in the input box, such as "7d 4h 30m". The extension recognizes days, hours, and minutes and provides a total calculated points at the bottom.
Overall, Rally Time is a useful tool for developers working with Rally, making it easier to convert developer time to Rally actual points. It offers convenience, customization, and accurate calculations, all within the Chrome browser.
