Example rails application showing how to connect to the AgileZen v1 api (requires ruby 1.9.x)

What it does

1. Generate estimates of stories in your backlog in html or csv formats.
2. Push story estimates (in cucumber format) to a project backlog.

Generating estimates

You can see the app running live at http://brockhill-forecaster.herokuapp.com All that is required is an AgileZen API key.

Push stories to a backlog (with estimates)

• Break your requirements into individual features using cucumber

• Estimate every scenario (as cucumber features):

  Feature: Export data
    A user with viewing privileges
    Can provide selection criteria and export that data to excel
  
    @8 #this is your estimate for the scenario in hours
    Scenario: Export blended price calculations
  
    @4
    Scenario: Export field price calculations

• Store your .feature files in the features_pending directory of your project

• Run the rake task to create stories in AgileZen. Each feature will be imported as a single story. The 'size' attribute of the story will be the sum of your scenario estimates.

  rake agilezen:push[{api_key},{project_id}]
