Personalised Update Threads

• Daily updates are handled asynchronously in the #erm-developers channel.
• Each member of the development team has their own daily reminders.
• Provide your update by starting a threaded reply to your own reminder.
  • Answer each part of the reminder prompt.
  • Mention (@ ) others as needed if you need input, help or collaboration.
• If you are mentioned by a team mate, please acknowledge / reply within their update thread. Break out a call or separate thread as needed.

Update Detail

• Goals (and progress) should include the Jira reference to issues you are (or have been) actively working on for the time day in question.
  • This should be at the appropriate story, scenario or dev sub-task, rather than feature level (ie, no UXPROD issues)
• If a piece of work is going to span multiple days, be specific about the dev tasks and/or scenarios you're working on (or have delivered) for the day in question.
• If you expect (or are experiencing) a challenge, obstable or blocker,
  • flesh out details on the relevant Jira issue to keep full context.
  • summarise and link to the issue in the Slack update.
• Do use bullet lists, to make your update easier to read (CTRL/CMD+SHIFT+8 in Slack).
• Do include ERM work that isn't in Jira.
• Do include non-ERM issues you are working on while allocated to ERM.
• Don't include non-ERM issues you are progressing when you're not allocated to work on ERM.

Reminder Schedule

• Reminders are scheduled for each weekday, but please respond according to your work patterns
  • eg, "previous day" and "next day" are the corresponding days you are next available for ERM.
• Update points will be scheduled for morning, afternoon and end-of-day.
• If you're finishing before the stand-down reminder time, please use the templates below
