Hi all,
We're going to start being more transparent with the community today about
the work being done by the analytics development team. Today's update is a
summary of our sprint planning that we did yesterday.
Short background -- the development team works in 2 week sprints which
usually start on Thursday and end on Tuesday. Wednesday is a day that can
be used at the team member's discretion -- normal work can be done, but
it's also a space for experimentation.
Over the coming weeks, we'll share more information about our planning,
showcasing and tools.
You may be "surprised" at the relatively small amount of work we commit to
at the onset of a sprint. This is for two reasons -- we are interrupted a
lot and this makes it difficult for us to predict our output; and we are a
new team and are still understanding our velocity. Of course if we finish
our commitments early, we just grab another task off the top of the backlog
and work on that.
Our projects are documented in our Mediawiki
prioritization<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Prioritization_P…
page.
The following tasks and features roll are all associated with a prioritized
project.
Here are the commitments for this sprint. Links are to Mingle, the agile
planning tool that we use.
