Dev Sprint updates
Notes
Business processes defined/clarified and Important messages in this Sprint
BAPM is personally 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)
I will be honest - I am not very happy at the moment about how BA/PMs handle project management role. But I believe you can fix this soon.
Weekly update meetings and report between BAPM and Sprint Manager and Sprint Manager and Jaguar Executive/CT2 Board and President
- 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
- Tira: Thursday 10:00-11:30am EST
- Denise: Wednesday 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 as on your performance.
This Sprint Deliverables to Board of Directors for Major projects (as defined by Simon)

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.
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) 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.
See new format for RN here:
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.
Below is 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.
New Rel Notes will be consolidated here (work in progress): Release Notes v2.17 May June
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.
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:
- - 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
Previously this job was done by one of the developers.
Pre-Implementation and Post-Implementation Notes
Pre-Implementation and Post-Implementation Notes must be posted by developers in 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 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 must be posted in some cases
"WU notes" is a type of mantis note that contains information that:
- was missing in spec and needs to be added during WU phase (type: add) OR
- should replace some existing info in spec (type: replace) OR
- 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 found by engineer who is responsible by Wiki Updates and and applied to spec in WU phase.
UAT to WU transition
BA:
- completes UAT
- posts RN note
- sets task as "completed"
After that:
Sprint Manager/Architect:
- reviews
- 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)
CT2 projects vs CT2 subcomponents
