[edit] Info

This wiki is about RFC and DQ methodology.

Problems with old process:

  • no specs/SA in many cases
  • developers had no clear plans
  • we had no idea what will be completed when (except urgent tasks)

[edit] Glossary

  • L0 (L zero) = initial/rough;
  • L1 = full
  • RFC = Request For Change
  • DQ = Development Queue

[edit] Top level Jag Soft Dev Workflow classes

We have the following top level workflows

  • Projects (Prj). Examples: GM Split, POEM, DR/KPI, I-Portal
  • Urgent Bugs (UB)
  • Urgent Change (UC)
  • Development Queue (DQ) - any work that is subject to CT2 Release and is not covered by Prj or UB
  • Support (Sup). Examples: create new user, re-start server, etc.
  • Misc (Misc)

"wf" mantis field is used to associate task with specific workflow class.

  • Prj
  • UB
  • UC
  • DQ1 - Invention/Analysis phases of DQ (BA/SA/etc)
  • DQ2 - Implementation phases of DQ (Dev/QA/SIT/etc)
  • Sup
  • Misc

[edit] IP

Prj, UB, DQ have different initial phases but common end: IP (Implementation Phase).

It consists of the following sub-phases:

  • Dev
  • QA
  • SIT
  • UAT
  • Stg (Staging)
  • Rel (Release)

[edit] UB

Phases:

  • BR - bug report
  • #IP

[edit] UC

Phases:

  • BA
  • SA
  • Est
  • #IP

[edit] Proj

Phases:

  • BA
  • SA
  • Est
  • #IP

[edit] DQ

Phases:

DQ1:

  • RFC
  • IBA
  • ISA
  • PTR
  • FSA
  • Est

DQ2

[edit] Details of DQ workflow

For convenience it is broken into 2 sub-workflows: DQ1 and DQ2.

DQ1:

  • covers BA, SA and related
  • wf mantis field = DQ1

DQ2:

  • covers Implementation (Dev/QA/SIT/etc)
  • wf mantis field = DQ2

[edit] DQ1 details

[edit] RFC

  • purpose: create mantis
  • owner: Denise
  • ph mantis field: RFC

Details:

  • create mantis record with initial available info for Change Request or Non Urgent Bug

[edit] IBA

  • purpose: (Initial Biziness Analysis or Bug Report)
  • owner: Denise
  • ph mantis field: IBA

Details:

  • Conduct and post into mantis preliminary Business Analysis/Requirements (for changes) or Detailed Bug Report (for bugs)
  • design/solution ideas could be added as well if needed/available

[edit] ISA

  • purpose: (Initial Sys Analysis)
  • owner: Alex
  • ph mantis field: ISA

Details:

  • review periodically RFC records (say 5 a week)
  • meet to discuss: Alex, AG, Sasha, Denise, etc (all together or in sub groups) (group might depend on the task)
  • split / combine as required
  • tweak summary/desc as required
  • Mantis Description field should have 3 sections:
    • Problem/Request
    • Solution
    • SOW link
  • identify what is large enough to be classified as a project and tag as such
  • discuss solution
  • conduct and post into Mantis L0 SA
  • set Dv (to "any" if possible or to specific dev)
  • set L0 emh/emhR

[edit] PTR

  • purpose: (Product Team Review)
  • owner: Denise or Alex?
  • ph mantis field: PTR

Details:

  • review periodically tasks that completed RFC-SA (say 5 a week)
  • meet to discuss requirements/solution/emh (Marc, Denise, Alex, Perry?)
  • reject/approve (by Marc)
  • set T
  • post notes as required

[edit] FSA

  • purpose: Full System Analysis
  • owner: AG
  • ph mantis field: FSA

Details:

  • conduct L1 SA
  • consult KU, SA, developers, BA as required
  • create SOW

[edit] Est

  • purpose: Exact estimation
  • owner: Developer/ Dev Manager
  • ph mantis field: Est

Details:

  • conduct L1 estimation (replace L0 with L1)

[edit] DQ2 details

  • purpose: Implementation
  • owner: Perry
  • ph mantis field: Dev/QA/SIT/UAT/T2S/Rel

Details:

  • conduct weekly DQ meetings to:
    • a) review previous week's progress
    • b) create plans for next week
  • review previous week's progress (post mortem):
    • sort by due=wYY
    • go task by task and see status/ph it is in (most must pass QA and be in SIT/UAT)
    • send weekly review (post mortem) to all managers (Marc, KU, Ale, Den). Highlight in RED overdue tasks/developers that have overdue tasks.
  • create plans for next week:
    • identify how many m/h available from each dev next week (Normally, each dev would contribute 8 hours a week to DQ2. 4 hours if super busy with the Proj )
    • sort tasks in DQ by T and create plan for each dev:
      • assign mantis to dev
      • set due mantis field to wXX where XX is week number
    • send weekly plan to all managers (Marc, KU, Ale, Den)
  • coordinate SIT/UAT and Release phases of DQ2
