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?

Product Jira Project

@Wes Brown

Product Project - Please check that you are able to access this project

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
