Core Platform Team/PET Work Processes/PET Workboards

< Core Platform Team

Core Platform Team Workboards edit

The Core Platform Team maintains two essential workboards that support its work process and capture the current state of its work: The Core Platform Team board and The CPT Subteam Workboards. The first represents an external interface for other teams and individuals to pass tasks to the CPT via the tag #core-platform-team. The second is a collection of internally focused boards that are used for sprint management by CPT subteams.

Additionally, there are a set of associated Phabricator Workboards, Projects and tags for which the CPT is responsible. We are currently working to integrate these boards into our work process to ensure that tasks captured within them are covered by our CPT Task Triage process.

Core Platform Team(CPT) edit

This board contains the Team Inbox, Icebox and all of the Epics owned by CPT. It is an external facing board which provides other teams and individuals with a direct interface to the CPT work process.

Structure of CPT Workboard edit

  • Inbox column This column is the entry point for tasks which are sent to the CPT by external teams and volunteers. The inbound tasks are then handled by the CPT Task Triage process, prioritised and appropriately assigned
  • Icebox This is a long term storage for tasks that the CPT does not intend to work on. The tasks are kept as they provide context, information or technical discussion that may in form future work.
  • Initiative columns These columns represent the Initiative undertaken by the CPT, they contain all Epics and tasks that describe the complete set of work required in order to complete an Initiative. These columns map directly to the CPT Initiatives.

CPT Workboards edit

This is the parent board for our team process, it contains the following

Structure of Team Workboards edit

  • User Story Backlog User Stories waiting to be converted to Engineering Tasks for a sprint
  • Next Sprint Tasks for next sprint

Associated Projects, Tags and Workboards edit

There are a large number of code bases, projects, tags and workboards that the CPT is responsible for tracking and triaging. Some are directly linked to the CPT via Maintainers List and some are indirectly linked through association via Phabricator Projects, tags and workboards.

Phabricator Projects and Workboards edit

Boards we track but do not own exclusively

Phabricator Tags edit

Integration of Existing boards/tags/projects edit

  • How do we move tasks across columns without generating notifications?
  • We can add herald rule to add CPT tag to new tasks?
  • How can we integrate MediaWiki-API into Clinic Duty?
    • Needs details or plan, needs code
  • Are there tasks on the MediaWiki-API board that CPT should be responsible for?
    • Yes -> Needs details or plan, needs code, needs review, in dev
  • Are there any tasks in-dev/needs review column that requires work?
    • Yes
  • Would it be useful to use time from Clinic Duty to surface tasks or should we assume that they will surface if needed?
    • Yes :)
  • Next steps:
    • Create herald rule to take CPT when it receives the tag for the first time -> Separate inbox for autotagged things
      • Can we use trigger or global herald rules?
    • Progressively include tasks into Clinic Duty
