03:40 | Desperately Seeking POs | Implementers is hoping to get the word out about the need for a new PO for Locations and Service Points, as well as a convener for Courses. Tara also mentions that this fall, she will start asking for volunteers for the Implementers Convener slot for 2024.

05:31 | Using Jira for Implementers | Julie has come to explain Jira to us! Her plan is to start by explaining what Jira is used for in the FOLIO project, then explain how Jira is organized, and then explain how users from implementing libraries can best make use of Jira.
|
07:22 | What is Jira used for? | Jira is a communication tool between the people who are working to get FOLIO developed and the people who need specific functionality in FOLIO. End users (most of us) communicate with the Dev Team (POs, programmers, QA...) who also communicate with the Release Team. End users typically use Jira to provide or find information--we tend not to actually work on issues. (09:20) Jira is also a repository of "tickets." (Tickets are properly called "issues" in Jira, but most people use these terms interchangeably.) These tickets have descriptions and fields that help to explain what is currently happening, and what will happen in the future. It's a living, growing story about the work being done.

12:01 | How is Jira organized? | Jira is organized into many different types of tickets, using terminology and concepts from Agile methodology. We go over the main ones, and we discuss the definitions of the main fields in each type of issue: Epic (12:10): work that represents several releases, or continuous work. Feature (16:00): Represents a work increment this is relevantly self-contained. It may be new development or non-functional requirements, like accessibility or performance issues. This is typically the level of organization most interesting to implementers--it represents an actual piece of functionality we want to see. Features are always in the UXPROD project in Jira.

20:51 | Jira tips and questions | (20:51) Watching issues--you can add yourself as a watcher on issues you want to track. (22:34) Any user can comment on a ticket. You can do this to express interest, ask a question, or add information. You can also find POs on slack and ask questions there. (24:04) For the most part you should not be changing fields on issues that aren't yours, but labels are the exception--feel free to add labels to help you find issues in whatever way you need. (Do not delete labels!) (25:20) Votes and ranking are no longer used in Jira--interest is expressed in other ways. (26:06) David asks if the FOLIO project uses Jira Service Management. We do not. For the most part, POs create tickets themselves--this is important because the requirements for refinement are so specific.

52:40 | Questions | Tara asks: can end users submit bugs? Julie says yes, but it's important for the bugs to be created in the correct project, described in a specific way, and reproduced in the appropriate environments. For this reason, it's important to either tag the PO so they see it, or ask the PO to create the bug in the right way. Users should write the description--what is the problem, what are the steps to reproduce, and where did you see it.
