[Fiware-cloud] Fw: [Fiware-wpl] Agile dynamic - release and sprint closing -> request for cooperation

[Alex Glikson]

Dear all,

Reviewers have been complaining for the last 2 years regarding the 
traceability of our agile process.
Now we finally have the tooling to conveniently see the agile metrics 
(thanks to Manuel's scripts).
It is very important to make sure that the reports for our GEs look good.
We will review the report at our upcoming meeting on Wed.
In a nutshell, the 'actual' graph on Sprint Burndown chart of each GE (and 
of the entire chapter, on the 'dashboard' tab) should gradually go from 
some reasonable number of items down to zero (X axis is the days of the 
sprint), and the 'closed' graph on the Release Burnup (called 'flow' in 
the spreadsheet) chart should go up every sprint, converging with the 
'opened' graph in projection towards the end of the project.

Regards,
Alex

Dear Partners,
 
Find linked the dashboards produced to capture the release and sprint 
closing.

After having a look at the burndown diagrams mainly, which show how items 
were closed over time, I see many GEi onwers didn?t perform any action to 
close the release or sprint.
I?d need to know the reasons preventing those GEi onwers to close their 
items properly. 
 
In general I think we need to come to the right agile dynamic as soon as 
possible.
 
I can also appreciate that some GEi owners in the following chapters Data, 
Security and I2ND did close the corresponding items properly, what I thank 
them for. 
 
The agile methodology gives flexibility when you set up your backlog, it 
means at the sprint planning. Afterwards, it needs us to be diligent and 
keep committed to the backlog.
 
I wonder whether any of you had a chance to pay attention to the review 
report from the EC and read the comments related to the backlog. 
 I?ll be following the agile dynamic closely so as to demonstrate the EC 
that FI-WARE is working properly.  In these regards, next backlog 
deliverable may be structured on a GE Implementation bases with views of 
your burn down and flow charts.
 
In general, following the agile dynamic I think it?s a shared objective, 
so I need to ask for your cooperation to overcome the current situation. 
I?m also requesting the Work Package Leaders to include in your weekly 
agendas a time slot for backlog maintenance.
 
Thanks in advance for cooperation!!
If anything, please, don?t hesitate to let me know.
 
Kind regards
Manuel
