[Fiware-demo] Live Demo evolution kick-off

[Fermín Galán Márquez]

Hi,

I have been asked regarding due dates for this. According to Agile principles, each end of sprint (i.e. end of each month) is a due date itself in which demo functionality gets "frozen". For those dates that we can consider "major" deadlines (such as June review) the idea is to take the Live Demo available in the last end of sprint (in that case, it would be the end of the May sprint).

We will follow a strict Agile approach regarding the Live Demo. That means that we will only start the development of any scenario when there are User Stories describing the development. That means that you can propose topics for a new scenario by creating an Epic, but the scenario will not be ready until the Epics have been translated into Features and then the Features into User Stories and, finally, those User Stories have been completed and have led to actual software we can deploy and show running on the FI-WARE Testbed.

The bottom line is that the sooner you want to have a scenario supported as part of the live demo, the sooner you have to start working proposing Epics and collaborating in the refinement of those Epics.

Best regards,

Hi,

As discussed during WPL/WPA weekly calls (see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VpWyuWl44m22l-swR1aQK1tsyZMoiIQCfrdWTPZvub8/edit#heading=h.a4ogm75ss3zu), this list has been created to discuss Live Demo evolution. I have been appointed to lead this cross chapter task force.

As you know, a first version of this Live Demo (let's name it "Live Demo Release1") was successfully performed during second year review at the end of 2012. Our goal now is to evolve an enrich this demo, to be used not only during the next review but also in any moment we need to show the work we are doing in FI-WARE project.

We will be using here the same Agile methodology that we use in the rest of the project (https://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/FI-WARE_Agile_Development_Methodology). We will have a backlog associated to the Live Demo. Topics not include in the backlog will not be discussed or taken into account at all for the Live Demo evolution. The basic procedure will be as follow:

  *   The backlog tracker is https://forge.fi-ware.eu/tracker/?atid=227&group_id=27&func=browse. Please, verify that you have access to the tracker and notify me if in negative case.
  *   We will start by including Epics in the backlog. Each new topic to be included in the Live Demo has to start with a Epic definition.
  *   Then, Epics will be discussed and refined to concrete Features that, in sequence, will be split in User Stories to be developed during the project sprints.
  *   Epics and Features have to be defined in the wiki and trac. For user Stories, it is not necessary.
  *   We will use the "FIWARE.{Type}.Cross.LiveDemo." prefix in our backlog items.

Manuel Escriche, Agile Project Manager in FI-WARE, will ensure that our practices are ok with project methodology. Manuel, don't hesitate to comment on the procedure that I have mention above (or tell us if I'm saying something wrong :)

Two first action points have to be accomplished as soon as possible:

  *   @all: to create Epics corresponding to elements that we want to include in the Live Demo. In this sense, you can have a look to this two examples of elements that (from TID's side) we would like to include.
     *   https://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fi-ware-private/index.php/FIWARE.Epic.Cross.LiveDemo.IoTGEsIntegration
     *   https://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fi-ware-private/index.php/FIWARE.Epic.Cross.LiveDemo.CEPIntegration
  *   @SAP, @TID, @UPM: create Features corresponding to the existing functionality in Live Demo, i.e. Live Demo Release 1, by the partners that were involved in that demo. From TID's side, we will do the part related with our GEs as soon as possible.

We will be using the private wiki and the "FIWARE Private" project in the Forge. A "home page" for Live Demo Evolution has been created at https://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fi-ware-private/index.php/Live_Demo_Evolution

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any question on doubt, please.

Best regards,
