Roadmap

Open Questions

• “How do we roll these individual BBs together into a single release?”

  • Ramkumar - The GovStack release would map to different BB releases

  • Rachel - Need to determine how we decide “what is a release”

  • Wes - Also need to get BB aligned to the overall GovStack release and release priorities

  • Taylor - What would trigger a new release?

    • Wes - New use cases or changes to existing ones

    • Rachel -

      • New use cases

      • Changes to use cases

      • Technical landscape changes (eg new payment options)

      • Mistake in use cases/spec/bb

  • Taylor - Need to differentiate between a Release and a Deployment

  • Ramkumar/Rachel - Need to align on a version numbering scheme

• When we get up to speed on using Jira etc, maybe we then get better estimates?

Quick Overview

Comments

• Ramkumar - Integration between Slack and Jira

  • Rachel - Need to ensure that we’re not distributing content across multiple services, need a place to have a historical record of decisions and work

  • Ramkumar - Conversation can happen on Slack but work is recorded in Jira

  • Taylor - It takes a lot of work to get people to effectively use issue tracking as well as the norms for where communication is supposed to go. Onboarding includes specific training for this

  • Rachel - Would like to set up onboarding training. Also need to include the Tech Committee in these discussions

• Multiple vs Single Project Setup (for BB)

  • Taylor - Need to ensure that external people can contribute easily for a specific BB

  • Ramkumar - Would also need to set up something for the Testing group
