We have noticed that with this extension enabled, every time we are adding content to a PBI (for example typing in the description field), there is constant chatter back to [(https://.extmgmt.visualstudio.com/_apis/ExtensionManagement/InstalledExtensions/MS-Agile-SAFe/WSJF-extension/Data/Scopes/Default/Current/Collections/%24settings/Documents/storedFields)]

This happens on every keypress. Is anyone else seeing the same behaviour?

I am collection Admin, is there any other permission needed?

Could you add an option to round the value? Having 15+ decimal places clutters up the board tiles and looks clunky. Being able to implement a rounded output (say 2 decimals or select your own length) would be helpful.

1. Please make the criteria text and scoring labels customisable and the weightings should be adjustable.
2. Please lock down the weighted average formula and the scoring mechanism (i.e. 9,6,3,0)
3. Please facilitate different scoring templates for projects

The extension is problematic because it sets all work items to the "changed" status and the user has to save again.
When the extension is installed, many work items already exist and the input fields for the formula are empty for all of these work items. When a work item is viewed, the extension calculates the WSJF value and writes it to the result field, which was previously empty. This changes the work item and the user sees this status change on the additional asterisk. If the user wants to leave the page, he will be stopped and asked whether he wants to "discard changes" or "save changes".

Suggestion for improvement: the extension should not change the WSJF value for empty input fields

Our organization created a new WIT in AzureDevOps. We want to configure it to be used on this custom WIT. However, it is not creating the WSJF value. The extension is working with the Epic WIT. Can it work with custom WITs and if so, how?

The calculation is not properly working.
As you can see we created all the fields and properly mapped them to the extension. Can you please help resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance,
Olenka.

Running into an issue where the solution compiles, but the JS for wsjfSettings is not found. There is no scripts/wsjfSettings JS fil in the solution. Is this generated by Gulp or something? Can more specific instructions be given on how to build this solution?

When adding a new item via the "Quick Add" panel

the WSJF score is not calculated for the new item. It is calculated when opening and saving the item afterwards (or using the "Recalculate WSJF values" menu).

Expected:
The WSJF Score field should have been updated with the calculated WSJF.

Additional info:

• All the source fields (like effor and business value) have been populated with default values in the process templates, like <DEFAULT from="value" value="somenumericvalue" />
• We have tried as a workaround, to set a default WSJF score on the WSJF field. But we can not use a default value like the above for the WSJF score, as the value string is parsed by TFS UI using the user locale. so a string of "0.375" would result in a value of 0.375 (EN) or 375 (DA or DE) depending on the decimal seperator.
• It would be nice if WSJF would be calculated for a new workitems, regardless of how it was created (WebUI, VS, RestAPI, Excel, MS Project...)
  Maybe it is possible to hook into some "new item" event?

Currently if the value in RROE is 0 the entire value of WSJF is set to 0 which doesn't jive with the supposed function of Business Value + Time Criticality + RROE.

I added a decimal WSJF field to our epic work item:

I then navigated to settings > WSJF, set the WSJF field to WSJF and saved:

But upon refreshing, the WSJF field setting was not saved.

My client has two work item types in their Process (actually more): Feature and Discussion Item. Both are at the same Backlog level. Both have the exact same fields for Business Value, Time Criticality, RROE, Effort, and WSJF.

WSJF is being calculated for Features but not for Discussion Items. Is this user error or a bug?
Thanks

Hi, we are trying to use this extension, its used to work before but since some time ago is not working as expected, we didn't get the WSJF calculation

We noticed that recently the settings has disappeared from the org settings. Similar issue being experienced on other third party extensions. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi, is it possible to expand the WSJF calculation by two optional fields above and one optional field below?

a + b + c + d + e

Hello.
We are using this extension with TFS on prem. 2018

Last few days (after last update 17.06) unable to open WSJF settings page, with this message:

WSJF (Weighted Shortest Job First) by Microsoft DevLabs is taking longer than expected to load. Learn More about this extension, including available support options.

Also, all calculations no longer available.

Reinstallation did not help.

Is it possible to configure the add on to use a roll-up value for "Effort Field" - So far I have managed to make the add on work using "Story Points" where these are directly entered into the relevant field in the feature but cannot get it to pull the roll-up of storypoints from child tickets

In the example xml code supplied, WSJF Score refname is first defined as WSJF.Score, then referenced in the form XML as WSJF.Value.

This is incorrect on the extensions store page and the github readme

Have you considered explaining what WSFJ stands for, alongside the WSFJ field in DevOps?

I did not know what WSFJ stands for, and still struggle to remember the definition. See this guidance on abbreviations and acronyms - Readability Guidelines.

Hell Team,

We have installed the extension (AzureDevops-WSJF-Extension) on May 6, 2020 and configured the same... but latter on WSJF is not calculated the value as per the expectation, its coming with the value nothing. So we thought os something was missing on configuration, then we try to open the WSJF extension but we are not able to open the same.

Could you please help us with this extension so that we can use this our projects, as WSJF already has been used by many projects but from couples of days its not working. Please help with the same.

Note ; We have uninstalled this extension and installed it again but we are nit able to open this extension ( attached file).

I just noticed, that when the new Boards hubs get enabled for preview in Azure DevOps Services, the WSJF value no longer updates.
None of these methods work any more:

• typing values into fields for WSJF to be auto-recalculated
• clicking the "Recalculate WSJF values" button.

When I disabled the Boards feature preview, everything went back to normal.

I know these Boards hubs are still in preview, but just letting you know things may stop working soon for most users.

When i try to build this i get the error below when i run npm run build

node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.dom.d.ts:12377:11 - error TS2320: Interface 'SVGElement' cannot simultaneously extend types 'Element' and 'SVGElementInstance'.
  Named property 'nodeType' of types 'Element' and 'SVGElementInstance' are not identical.

                ~~~~~~~~~~

Since the last update we have been unable to use this addon. It is no longer calculating and when you try to go to the settings screen it will not load. We have let it sit for 10-15 minutes and still just shows:

i have using AzureDevOps. I build my Project but some error is there. I attach screen short please find it.

Hello,

It's a very good plugin. Can you add store field for Cost of Delay ?
Sometimes, it's interresting to have this data to take decision.

Thank you.

Arnaud

I am an ADO Org owner. I've added this to a Feature work item, and I see the value fine. A co-worker who is a contributor on the project that is using this does not see the value. There was one time for a brief second as the feature was loaded it showed up but quickly disappeared. If she changes the values, the new calculated value still does not show up. Any thoughts on why I can see this and she cannot?

There are important files that Microsoft projects should all have that are not present in this repository. A pull request has been opened to add the missing file(s). When the pr is merged this issue will be closed automatically.

Having the configuration on the Collection level is too generic. Please allow for the Team Project configuration, possibly with inheritance.

Current version in the store is missing the new Risk field
