TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

ASSUMPTION-01: Screen = Issue Navigator
ASSUMPTION-02: Sort = By the Number Field required to change (e.g. Rank field)

LIMITATIONS: Be able to do this in JIRA and NOT Greenhopper

IN THE ISSUE NAVIGATOR SCREEN (which displays a list of Provide ability to modify an Issue's "Number Field" type field by having an "Up" and "Down" arrow, along with a field to type in Rank value.

UP AND DOWN ARROWS

The Up and Down value with will exchange the Rank value of the issue and the Rank value of the upper issue (in the case of a user clicking on the UP arrow), or the Rank Value of the lower issue (in the case of a user clicking on the Down arrow)

e.g.

• Issue A has a Rank value of 5
• Issue B has a Rank value of 6

If user clicks on the UP arrow in of Issue B, then:

• Issue A Rank value will change to 6
• Issue B Rank value will change to 5

New List will be (assuming it's still sorted by Rank)

• Issue B / Rank 5
• Issue A / Rank 6

WRITE-IN FIELD

The field to type in the Rank value will assign that entered value (X) for the Rank of the issue, and add (+1) to the Rank value of all issue below it (up to the issue.

e.g.

• Issue A has a Rank value of 5
• Issue B has a Rank value of 6
• Issue C has a Rank value of 7
• Issue D has a Rank value of 8
• Issue E has a Rank value of 9
• Issue F has a Rank value of 10

If user enters "6" for the Rank of Issue E, then:

• Issue A Rank value will remain unchanged (5)
• Issue E Rank value (which used to be 9) will change to the entered value (6)
• Issue B Rank value (which used to be 6) will now be 6+1 = 7
• Issue C Rank value (which used to be 7) will now be 7+1 = 8
• Issue D Rank value (which used to be 8) will now be 8+1 = 9
• Issue F Rank value will remain unchanged (10)

New List will be (assuming it's still sorted by Rank)

• Issue A / Rank 5
• Issue E / Rank 6
• Issue B / Rank 7
• Issue C / Rank 8
• Issue D / Rank 8
• Issue F / Rank 9

PRACTICAL DESCRIPTION

As an Executive, I want to be able to view a list (table view, Issue Navigator view ) of all open issues of the Development department, on a daily/weekly basis, and with my team, want to be able to rank the list. Ranking the list should be by clicking on an UP or DOWN button within the issue line item, or be able to write in the desired Rank value and Save (which will refresh the list with the new Rank order)

This will present the Development team with a Ranked list of issues to work off of, without having to question which issue to work on next.
