How would one establish a Swimlane that shows items added after the start of the sprint?
I would use a JQL statement such as dateCreated >= StartofWeek() or something like that, but not sure how to identify the start date of the sprint.
The main idea would be to see stuff that was not planned for so I can identify and improve on the discipline of scrum. (Over time, this swim lane would not be necessary).
We use stories as swimlanes so subtasks are grouped under them. The subtasks are mainly technical, so they make no sense for the testers. They test the main task where the user story is. Is there any way possible to use swimlanes but at the same time show the status for the main tasks and easily move the main task between statuses?
As is, our testers have to expand each swimlane to see if all subtasks have been moved to ready for test. And if so, they test the main task and then move all the subtasks either to accepted or rejected. It would be nice if the testers didn't have to deal with the subtasks at all, but at the moment there's no way to see the status on the main task. Would be nice if if we could say that when all subtasks are ready for test, the status on the main task should automatically be set to ready for test. And that status should be clearly presented on the swimlane. Then there should be some easy way for the tester to move the main task to accepted or rejected and the subtasks should follow.
We have actually implemented this the other way around, i.e. when all sub-tasks have been completed, you will be prompted to move the parent issue (the parent will be moved automatically if you accept the prompt). Please see Transitioning an Issue

But that only happens when all the subtasks have been completed. Not when they are in test... Our testers would prefer to see only the main tasks, as the subtasks are only confusing for them, and our developers wants to only deal with the subtasks. The subtasks can not be closed until the main task have been tested and accepted. Therefore, it would be nice if when our developers have moved all subtasks to "ready for test", the main task is automatically moved to the same. And the status on the main tasks clearly shown in the board so the testers find the ones ready for test.
