  • EstimationToolsPlugin

    v28 v29  
    66!EstimationTools includes macros that visualize remaining effort estimations, e.g., as Burndown Chart, as well as an extension that allows inline editing of estimations in the query view.
    77
    8 == Requirements ==

    10 The charts use [http://code.google.com/apis/chart/ Google's Chart API], hence no additional python modules are required. The [EstimationToolsPlugin#HoursInPlaceEditor HoursInPlaceEditor] requires the XmlRpcPlugin.
