Rounding of Values in Agility explained

This feature is available in all editions

Question

We have certain backlogs and provided “Estimate pts” as 0.5. We observed that even if we move this task from Done to Accepted, some tables are not updated under Completed. But if we have any other task with “Estimate pts” as 1 (not having decimal point) those values are increased. 

Answer

We use Bankers Rounding in this specific scenario in that field. Bankers Rounding is an algorithm for rounding quantities to integers, in which numbers that are equidistant from the two nearest integers are rounded to the nearest even integer. Thus, 0.5 rounds down to 0; 1.5 rounds up to 2.
