== Business processes defined/clarified and Important messages in this Sprint ==
 +
=== Proto phase and proto field has been added ===
 +
'''Proto''' is a new development phase added for new components built without detailed designs/specs.
-
=== WU Backlog ===
+
Prior to sending finalized feature to QA developer in this case will have one or more rounds of prototype reviews with Business Analyst. This is a "Proto(typing) phase" and during this phase task should be in "Proto" mantis folder.
-
This is a new project added as a last phase. We need this to separate tasks that came to WU from current Sprint from tasks that are waiting for WU since previous Sprints. Sprint Manager is to move tasks to this folder.
+
This type of task is to be flagged with '''proto''' mantis field set to Y by developer.
-
=== Release Notes to be created by BAs at UAT phase ===
+
QA engineer is to deploy this task to Demo server and to move it to Proto folder and assign to BA.
-
Phase UAT was renamed into UAT/RN to reflect the fact that during that phase BAs are also responsible to create RN (Release note) for every mantis to be released.
+
=== Completed by developers tasks is to be deployed to Demo server by QA engineer daily ===
-
Release Note (for specific mantis or feature) is a summary (1-3 paragraphs) of info to be included into Release Notes and explains to end user what is this feature/bugfix/tweak/etc is about. This was requested by Simon.
+
There is a new daily process that QA engineer should follow daily to deploy to Demo server completed (committed) by all developers tasks:
-
See new format for RN here:
+
# - find all completed by developers tasks in Dev, DevPull, Proto, QA folders
 +
# - deploy new version of code to demo site
 +
# - move to appropriate folder as required and assign to BA or QA engineers as appropriate
 +
# - do it once a day at least
-
RN is to be posted into mantis note (see example below). This will be collected by Support Engineer, assembled into RN and passed to Sprint Manager for review and Sys Admin to include into "New Release" message at the time of release.
+
Previously this job was done by one of the developers.
-
Below is example for  ''0002931: [KPI] (External KPIs) Cost per pound (Level 2). Add more options.''
+
=== Pre-Implementation, Post-Implementation and WU Notes ===
-
Rel Notes
+
Pre-Implementation and Post-Implementation Notes must be posted by developers under the following circumstances.
-
---------
+
-
Two additional options has been added as a choice for Axis X to this report: a "Consignees" and
+
-
  "Shippers" (Suppliers). Both options support line or a pie chart visualization.
+
 +
When implementation is not well defined (or not defined at all) in spec written by BA then '''Pre-Implementation''' Notes '''must''' be posted into mantis '''before''' coding by developer.
-
New Rel Notes will be consolidated here (work in progress): [[Release Notes v2.17 May June]]
+
'''Post-Implementation''' Notes '''must''' be submitted after coding and '''before''' Proto and QA phase if spec or previous notes provide not enough info regarding what was coded and deployed.  
-
 
+
-
=== Proto phase and proto field has been added ===
+
-
 
+
-
This is a new phase added for new components build without detailed designs. Before sending finalized feature to QA developer he will submit prototype to BA.
+
-
 
+
-
This task is to be assigned be assigned to QA with '''proto''' mantis field set to Y.
+
-
 
+
-
QA is to deploy this and to move to Proto folder and assign to BA.  
+
-

=== Completed by developers tasks is to be deployed to Demo server by QA engineer daily ===
+
-
QA engineer is to:
+
Examples from ''0003041: [Rates DB] (MOT Air) (ph1) Implement Contract Upload feature)'':
-
* find all completed by developers tasks in Dev, DevPull, Proto, QA folders
+
-
* to deploy new version of code to demo site
+
-
* to move to appropriate folder as required and assign to BA or QA as appropriate
+
-
* do it once a day at least
+
-
=== Pre-Implementation and Post-Implementation Notes must be posted by developers in many cases ===
+
  Pre-Implem Note
-
 
+
-
In cases when design is not well defined Pre-Implementation Notes '''must''' be posted into mantis before coding by developer.
+
-
 
+
-
Post-Implementation Notes '''must''' be submitted before Proto and QA if spec or previous notes provide no info regarding what was created.
+
-

-
* Weekly Reports. I am thinking now in what format I need them
+
The purpose of this week is for PMs, BAs, Devs, QA to work together to review all requirements for new tasks, estimate them, create preliminary architecture/vision, project plans (this includes breakdown into smaller tasks/milestones with due dates), etc. If time permits it is also to implement some tasks from DevPull.
 +
 
 +
Results should be documented: project plans in xls form, pre-implementation notes and architecture in mantis notes or wiki or attached to mantis docs. Mantis is to be created for sub-tasks.
 +
 
 +
=== CT2 and Jaguar components and subcomponents ===
 +
 
 +
==== Components ====
 +
 
 +
Currently CT2 is divided by the following mutually exclusive components:
 +
 
 +
* Acc
 +
** Acc
 +
** AccReps
 +
** RatesDB
 +
 
 +
* Client
 +
** Client
 +
** ClientEtc
 +
** ClientReps
 +
 
 +
* Ops
 +
** Ops
 +
** OpsAdmin
 +
** OpsPdf
 +
** OpsRep
 +
** OpsTruck
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* Misc
 +
** Misc
 +
** IT/Systems
 +
 
 +
This is reflected in "comp" mantis field.
 +
 
 +
==== Subcomponents ====
 +
 
 +
Each CT2 component is divided by several sub components. Each sub-component has a mantis record. We used to call it "parent mantis". They all are located in "Subcomponents" mantis folder.
 +
 
 +
For example '''AccReps''' CT2 component consists of the following sub-components:
 +
 
 +
2250 (Acc Report: Acc Milestones) 
 +
1938 (Acc Report: CTs With No Inv)
 +
2303 (Acc Report: CTs With No Inv)
 +
2581 (Acc Report: Incomplete PI Report) 
 +
650 (Acc Report: Misc) 
 +
2175 (Acc Report: P and L) 
 +
1942 (Acc Report: Search Inv) 
 +
 
 +
==== History of sub component ====
 +
 
 +
By establishing child-parent relationship between each task defined for specific sub-component we preserve History record. For example this is a history of ''1942 (Acc Report: Search Inv) '':

[edit] Notes

[edit] Business processes defined/clarified and Important messages in this Sprint

[edit] Proto phase and proto field has been added

Proto is a new development phase added for new components built without detailed designs/specs.

Prior to sending finalized feature to QA developer in this case will have one or more rounds of prototype reviews with Business Analyst. This is a "Proto(typing) phase" and during this phase task should be in "Proto" mantis folder.

This type of task is to be flagged with proto mantis field set to Y by developer.

QA engineer is to deploy this task to Demo server and to move it to Proto folder and assign to BA.

[edit] Completed by developers tasks is to be deployed to Demo server by QA engineer daily

There is a new daily process that QA engineer should follow daily to deploy to Demo server completed (committed) by all developers tasks:

  1. - find all completed by developers tasks in Dev, DevPull, Proto, QA folders
  2. - deploy new version of code to demo site
  3. - move to appropriate folder as required and assign to BA or QA engineers as appropriate
  4. - do it once a day at least

Previously this job was done by one of the developers.

[edit] Pre-Implementation, Post-Implementation and WU Notes

Pre-Implementation and Post-Implementation Notes must be posted by developers under the following circumstances.

When implementation is not well defined (or not defined at all) in spec written by BA then Pre-Implementation Notes must be posted into mantis before coding by developer.

Post-Implementation Notes must be submitted after coding and before Proto and QA phase if spec or previous notes provide not enough info regarding what was coded and deployed.

Examples from 0003041: [Rates DB] (MOT Air) (ph1) Implement Contract Upload feature): 

Pre-Implem Note
----------------
Upload contract feature will be added:
1.	User selects a menu item "Rate Contract’s Upload"
2.	There will be preliminary form which user should fill before chosing the file with Rate 
Contract
3.	In this form user should indicate
  a.	Name of contract
  b.	Airline or JaguarVendor for which the contract will be uploaded
  c.	Comments for this contract (optionally)
  d.	ChargeCode for this contract (one)
  e.	Included ChargeCodes for this contract (multiply)
4.	After filling this form user clicks button “Chose Contract Rate file” choses file and clicks
button “Upload”
5.	System will automatically update RateDatabase according to this file 
6.	First level of automatically updating Database will be only for one format of RateContracts 
files

Post-Implem Note
----------------
- go to Acc > Rate Contracts > Rate Contract’s Upload
- to test use erate sheet.xls in 0002894

WU notes is a type of mantis note that contains some additional important missing information about component that will be needed in Proto, QA, UAT, WU phases. Example:

  • - info was missing in spec and needs to be added during WU phase (type: add)
  • - info should replace some existing info in spec (type: replace)
  • - info should be deleted from spec (type: delete)

It could be posted by QA or UAT engineers or developers or anyone who discovered gaps in specs or Implementation notes.

Example from 0002412: [Internal Dash Reps] 1) Create "past due arrivals" DR 2) Add ability to define DR for specific group of users: 

WU Notes
--------
Warning: Counter updates one time per hour but click on hyperlink opens xls
 result with real time information (number of shipments would differ from
counter on level one).

This info will be included in Support Guide in WU phase.

[edit] Release Notes to be created by BAs at UAT phase

Phase UAT was renamed into UAT/RN to reflect the fact that during that phase BAs are also responsible to create RN (Release note) for every mantis to be released.

Release Note (for specific mantis or feature) will be included into Sprint Release Notes and explains to end user what is this feature/bugfix/tweak/etc about. It could be just plain text or it could contain screen shots.

Below is "plain text" example for 0002931: [KPI] (External KPIs) Cost per pound (Level 2). Add more options. 

Rel Notes
---------
Two additional options has been added as a choice for Axis X to this report: a "Consignees" and 
"Shippers" (Suppliers). Both options support line or a pie chart visualization.

In some cases mantis summary could be decsriptive enough and RN is not needed.

[edit] UAT to WU transition and WU Backlog

BA:

  • completes UAT
  • posts RN note
  • sets task as "completed"

After that:

Sprint Manager/Architect:

  • reviews
  • assigns Rel Num
  • includes RN into Sprint Release Notes
  • moves to WU folder
  • assigns to who will do WU
  • (optional) posts note indicating wiki article where to post WU for this task and what subcomponent mantis to link to (if this is not straightforward)

[edit] WU Backlog

This is a new project added as a last phase. We need this to separate tasks that came to WU from current Sprint from tasks that are waiting for WU since previous Sprints. Sprint Manager is to move tasks to this folder.

[edit] Weekly BAPM update meetings

  • Once a week I will have 1-1.5 hour voice over Skype individual update meetings with every BAPM:
    • Tracie: Tuesday 10:00-11:30am EST
    • Denise: Wednesday 10:00-11:30am EST
    • Tira: Thursday 10:00-11:30am EST
  • Weekly Reports. I am thinking now in what format I need them
  • Once a week I have to report to Jaguar Executive/CT2 Board and President about our progress. Please note that this is of course will be based largely on your reports. I will have to update the President on each key project as well team performance.

[edit] BAPM is responsible for success or failure of a project/task

Once again I would like to remind that:

  • each Sprint we have 4-7 key concurrent projects
  • BA/PM is personally responsible for failure or success which means they need to be proactive, have up to date plans, regular meetings with a project team, etc
  • you can escalate serious issues to Sprint Manager but daily work and decision making is on you
  • feel free to invite Sprint Manager/Architect to be part of your weekly project meetings (sometimes)


[edit] Review and refinement of existing methodology

[edit] PM and Estimation week

The purpose of this week is for PMs, BAs, Devs, QA to work together to review all requirements for new tasks, estimate them, create preliminary architecture/vision, project plans (this includes breakdown into smaller tasks/milestones with due dates), etc. If time permits it is also to implement some tasks from DevPull.

Results should be documented: project plans in xls form, pre-implementation notes and architecture in mantis notes or wiki or attached to mantis docs. Mantis is to be created for sub-tasks.

[edit] CT2 and Jaguar components and subcomponents

[edit] Components

Currently CT2 is divided by the following mutually exclusive components:

  • Acc

This is reflected in "comp" mantis field.

[edit] Subcomponents

Each CT2 component is divided by several sub components. Each sub-component has a mantis record. We used to call it "parent mantis". They all are located in "Subcomponents" mantis folder.

For example AccReps CT2 component consists of the following sub-components: 

2250	(Acc Report: Acc Milestones)  
1938	(Acc Report: CTs With No Inv)
2303	(Acc Report: CTs With No Inv) 
2581	(Acc Report: Incomplete PI Report)  
650	(Acc Report: Misc)  
2175	(Acc Report: P and L)  
1942	(Acc Report: Search Inv)

[edit] History of sub component

By establishing child-parent relationship between each task defined for specific sub-component we preserve History record. For example this is a history of 1942 (Acc Report: Search Inv) :

# status assigned to phase Summary
