Slides from the presentation

1. YouTrack:
Not just an Issue Tracker
Dmitri Nesteruk
Technical Evangelist at JetBrains

2. An evangelist…
Gives talks
Writes blog posts/articles
Makes screencasts
Helps users
Travels…
…a lot
… sometimes too much

3. Keeping Track of Travel
Things to keep track of
Visit history
Pending/future agreements
Expenses
Travel costs money
Getting you there: flight/train/nuclear submarine
Keeping you alive: hotels/daily expenses

4. What’s an Issue Tracker
A database front-end that is
Usable
Customizable
Looks good
Theoretically suitable for anything
CRM, accounting, resource management, …

5. The Travel Database
Demo

6. Rules Support
Business systems need rules
E.g., “trip end date cannot be earlier than start date”
In YouTrack, you can define rules
Internally, by using YouTrack Workflows
Externally via the REST API

7. YouTrack Workflows
Demo

8. Recorded vs. Actual Expenses
Reimbursements happen on actual expenses
Recorded != Actual, why?...
1. Recorded expenses use many currencies (SEK, NOK, USD),
actual expenses have (typically) just one.
Currency exchange rates vary with time.
2. Actual expenses do not keep track of foreign transaction
costs.

9. External Integration
Demo

10. Summary
YouTrack is very customizable
You can repurpose it from tracking bugs to tracking anything
YouTrack Workflows let you configure rules internally
YouTrack REST API can be used to control YT externally

11. That’s It!
