Logging Estimation Process Data for Boxplots and Progress Charts

[Dan1elBox]

IMPORTANT NOTE: This issue/feature request has not yet received approval from the project owner and should not be worked on at this time!!!

Feature Request:
To enhance the analytical capabilities of our Planning Poker app, I suggest introducing the logging of additional data during the estimation process.
Specifically, we want to record all estimates for each user stories from all participating users. The following data should be extracted from this information:

• Minimum (for Box Plots)
• Lower Quartile (Q1) (for Box Plots)
• Median (for Box Plots)
• Upper Quartile (Q3) (for Box Plots)
• Maximum (for Box Plots)
• Actual Estimated Value (for Box Plots)
• Average Estimated Value (for Progress Charts)

This logged data will be used to generate Boxplot and Progress Chart diagrams for each User Story after the completion of an estimation session, aiding in the visual representation of estimation variability.

So the main task will be to assess whether/how it is possible to extract the data from the estimation process and determine the most optimal way to store the estimation process data within the context of a session.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Estimation Analysis: Box Plots provide a concise overview of the estimation process, aiding in the identification of outliers and distribution patterns.
• Historical Tracking: Over time, historical Boxplot and Progress Chart data can help teams monitor their estimation accuracy, trends and make necessary adjustments.
• Improved Transparency: Increased transparency regarding the estimation process and its outcomes benefits all team members.
