A comment on the idea "Calculate velocity based on delivery, not acceptance" in Pivotal Labs:

Back dating an accepted story into a previous iteration does update the velocity.

Ideally you should try to get the feedback loop tighter so that acceptance happens as soon as possible after delivery. But in those cases where you are working under non-ideal circumstances, back dating the acceptance is probably your best bet for accurate velocity. – Joseph, on March 24, 2009 16:31

Thanks, we'll look around at other possibilities.

Yeah, we've been working on the load balancer problem for some time. The load balancer problem always shows up with all 4 mongrels for each host either above or below average.

In this case, it was only a single mongrel on a host. The three other mongrels were still performing at the same rpm.

Joseph replied on February 27, 2009 18:34 to the problem "Stats rubber banding from minute to minute" in New Relic:

We do have some excess capacity, but I wouldn't expect the host to go from averaging 18 RPM, to 0, then back to 35 the next minute. This is while the other 3 mongrels on that host were doing 18 RPM for the entire timespan.

Looking at our logs on the host in the minutes surrounding the spikes, we don't see any request longer than 4 seconds.

It could be a problem with the mongrel or the host, but I wanted to check here first (it somewhat coincides with us moving to the latest version of the plugin)

Stats rubber banding from minute to minute

We're seeing stats that seem to be rubber banding from minute to minute. Could this be a reporting problem in NewRelic?

You can see in the attached image that the throughput for one minute will be 0, then way above average, then back to average. Is this just a reporting problem, or is it a problem in our app/host?

Story in search results won't show hover, and can't expand to see details.

Story in search results won't show hover, and can't expand to see details.

If I search for "search" and include done iterations this story:
http://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/s...
is right under the "Search Release" in the results.

I am unable to see the hover for the story, or expand it. It seems to hover, and show just fine if I've loaded the app with include_all_iterations (be aware of that if you follow the story link above to test it)

Problem changing feature to chore and accepting at the same time

If I have an existing feature, I change it to a chore, and at the same time change it to the "Accepted" state, no date select appears and it prompts me to enter a valid date for the accpeted date. Not allowing me to save.

URLS to old stories don't work

If a story is in a old iteration that has been collapsed, a url to that story will no longer work.
