Hi folks
As discussed during our last IRC meeting, we will track specs' status
and progress via their whiteboard instead of going over all specs at
each meeting. This works just like the Work items concept.
What should you do? It's very simple: for all specs you're assigned
to, edit the whiteboard and make sure that it has two paragraphs, one
for work items like this:
Work items:
Write new gizzle backend for frag: DONE
Logging tool for updates: DEFERRED
Write release notes for new features: TODO
i.e. one work item per line, a colon, a space, and one of DONE, TODO,
or DEFERRED. This should roughly represent where time will be spent
when implementing this blueprint to get a sense of its progress.
The other paragraph should be like this:
Status:
Mostly done with the Python part. Tests are blocked by lack of
hardware.
and should simply give a short summary of the current status/blockers
on the spec, document "What's next" to move it forward etc.
These paragraphs should be isolated by newlines from the rest of the
whiteboard's contents as to allow a screenscraping script to parse it.
Scripts will generate a burndown chart and status tables documenting
the current "Status:" by spec and by people. (The latter script is
TBD.)
For instance this spec has Status and Work items:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/mobile-karmic-armel-toolchain
Don't forget to set a weekly reminder to update your specs' status!
Cheers,
