[edit] Dev Sprint Manager and Support Manager role

Currently in this role: Tira

Dev Sprint Management:

Responsible for overall success of the Dev Sprint. Ideally all tasks planned for the Sprint should be delivered on time.

Before Sprint starts:
- request wish list from BAs for next Spr
- identify tasks that will roll over from current sprint
- calculate emh per developer and make sure it is reasonable
- if space permits add more tasks from "Dev Backlog"
- send this list to BAs/MOs for review
- schedule CT2 Board and confirm final version there
- get together with BAs and map tasks into weeks (use 1,2,3,4 mantis fields to indicate num of week when task will be completed)
- email this project plan to everyone

During the Sprint:
- once a week look at tasks scheduled to be completed that week (in mantis sort by week# and see if there any tasks tagged for this week and still in Dev). If there are ask developer/BA why, what is the new estimate. Escalate issue to Dev Manager as required.
- (optional but useful) have weekly status update meeting with all developers/QAs/BAs

At the end of the Sprint:
- remind everyone that after release to staging all tasks must be in UAT passed state
- compile and email brief release notes (detailed are to be compiled by BAs)
- is some tasks with m=Y are delayed make decision to postpone release or carry over those tasks
- email confirmed date of release

Support Management:

Responsible for overall success of the Support function. Also monitor:

WU and TG phase (tasks should not accumulate there)
Support folder (tasks should not accumulate there)

Ideally:

all support requests are handled on timely manner
all component wikis are updated regularly and quickly
all users are trained in new features right after Release

Pls note that there are 2 levels of Support:

BAs (level 1)
QAs (level 2)

Assign developers to components as required
Apply best frameworks and practices

share responsibility that system is designed accordingly to specs and with high quality.
etc

[edit] Overview of mantis

All "active" tasks are distributed across the following folders:

1. Support - all support tasks like help desk requests, training, etc
2. BA Sprint - all tasks in current BA Sprint
3. Dev Sprint - all tasks in current Dev sprint

Every task in BA Sprint travels through these phases (field "ph"):

BA
SA
Est - tasks are reviewed/estimated by developers here and after that BA Spr Manager moves them to Dev Backlog

Every task in Dev Sprint travels through these phases:

Dev
QA
UAT
WU
TG

Also there are 2 backlog folders:

BA Backlog - tasks that are suggested for future BA Sprints
Dev Backlog - tasks that are passed BA/SA, estimated and waiting for future Dev Sprints

Finally we have:

Archived / Released released tasks that passed WU/TG and other closed tasks
CT2 map - all CT2 parents (sub-components)
Watchlists / Files / Misc
