Analysis

Overview

This revision should make the internal backlog easier to use.

Task requirements

  • This task depends on SCS_WIKI_MAINTENANCE_R2 Make sure you implement it after the maintenance.
  • Use the existing structure of the backlog
  • Define rules of backlog (using previous revision implementation INTERNAL_BACKLOG_STRUCTURE_R0 Create a wiki page, create a link to it in SCS_SITE_DESIGN/DevelopmentHome page.
  • Research forms (an example is added as comment in the ticket) to provide a way to post quick impediments, open questions, etc (without signing in). Link created forms in SCS_SITE_DESIGN/DevelopmentHome
  • Correct dates to the following date format YYYY-MM-DD
  • Remove the milestone rows as they are not accurate (daily availability sheet)
  • Resize the columns for their content
  • Add "Assigned to" and "Comments" column to the impediments sheet
  • For daily availability set format for the availability columns and apply it (See implementation idea section for this one).
  • Decide which sheets should have Comments columns and add them
  • Add "Solution" columns to open questions and impediments sheet
  • Fill in the Important documents and define a way to mark when they are changed

Task result

More usable backlog

Implementation idea

The easiest way to accomplish correct date formatting is to select the entire column and click the More formats button (Looks like this: [123]). Took about 30 minutes to find it out! Create forms for impediments and open questions.

How to demo

Show http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=p-0Oq38E1ayuX-E_kPfPxbg&hl=en and explain modified parts.

Design

  • Forms were decided to be obsolete.
  • Improve Daily Availability spreadsheet
    • Remove the blank separators from the daily availability, because they're obsolete and create difficulties in filling the availability.
    • Add columns for all missing team members
    • Each member must have two columns:
      • the first is for description of the time interval he/she would be available
      • the second column contains the total time measured in hours that the team member will work on this date
      • you may add different backgrounds for easier navigation in the backlog
    • Replace the colors with text, where is green replace it with "1eff"
    • Fix the file format it must be YYYY-MM-DD
  • Impediments spreadsheet
    • add column for comments
    • add column "assigned to"
    • add column "Solution"
  • Open questions spreadsheet
    • add column "Solution"
  • Smells spreadsheet
    • add column for comments
    • add column "assigned to"
  • Documents spreadsheet
  • Resize all columns to fit their contents
  • Create document with detailed explanation of the internal backlog's contents
