Estimated vs actual time
Thanks for the beta invitation! I'm having problems understanding how to deal with estimated versus actual time when managing stories in sprints. It seems I can edit the "score" at any stage before "done", but how does this relate to the original estimate?

The way easyBacklog works is that at the start of a sprint, a snapshot of the entire backlog is automatically taken. So any changes you make to the estimated points will be reflected in the burn up charts, and any snapshot comparisons you view between the current version and the snapshot made at the start of that sprint. Therefore, there is not really a concept of actual, rather just a concept of points for that story which can be compared at any stage.
You can use the compare snapshot functionality easily by rolling over snapshots in the top right, and clicking compare snapshots. In the snapshot drop drops that appear, you will see the Sprints that have been started listed, so you can compare the current version with any sprint, or even compare any sprint versus any other sprint.
Also, if you view the Stats tab, you will see that in the burn up chart you have added/removed points based on the shift of estimated points at the start of the sprint versus the points at the start of the next sprint.
Does that answer your question?
