20 min

Requirements analysis

Bugs are ranked outside of the prioritization process; they are handled by the Support SIG

Have a talk with the POs at some point; get in touch with them with a proposal and learn about their feedback

Before we move away from JIRA we should make sure that we can update JIRA tickets in batch; new system to rank needs to be easily integrated with JIRA

some libraries tried to rank with R1 as rarely as possible; other have ranked features with R1 very often; this seems to be unbalanced

having multiple rankings per development teams

how are legal requirements weighted

more weight for libaries putting in dev resources

what is our basic MVP? ā†’ related features could be ranked higher

have a look around at how other systems are dealing with ranking? - collect feedback here until Ā III | How do other ILS systems handle prioritization?

Further notes in the table: II | Requirements analysis

15:01:54 Von Ā Marie Widigson Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  Sorry, have audio problems
15:05:58 Von Ā Jana Freytag Ā an Ā Alle:

15:06:44 Von Ā Debra Howell ( she/ella/儹 ) Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  We're missing Anya, but it's really early where she lives!
15:24:21 Von Ā Thomas Trutt Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  Mainly saying this here so I donā€™t loose my train of thought.. But I feel like individual features (where possible) should be grouped into epics and the epics are voted on.
15:26:24 Von Ā Jacquie Samples Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  I agree Thomas. Ā Context is so important.
15:29:27 Von Ā Jacquie Samples Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  Maybe we should make sure that there are no Jiras that are not connected to some Epic.
15:34:57 Von Ā Debra Howell ( she/ella/儹 ) Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  We don't...we do everything in JIRA :)
15:37:15 Von Ā Jacquie Samples Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  Debra, do you have your own instance of Jira, or do you use FOLIO's Jira for Cornell internal ranking?
15:38:52 Von Ā Debra Howell ( she/ella/儹 ) Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  FOLIO's Jira for everything
15:39:03 Von Ā Jacquie Samples Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  Thanks.
15:41:51 Von Ā Jacquie Samples Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  I thought that the feedback from Kiwi ranking resulted in our group being formed? Ā Meaning that it is clear people would like an easier process?
15:42:25 Von Ā Thomas Trutt Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  Easier but also scalable.
15:42:47 Von Ā Jacquie Samples Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  I would like to know, empirically, which Jiras are written to work around a gap in FOLIO functionality.
15:43:46 Von Ā Thomas Trutt Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  I feel that could be done with tags - Workaround, but also linking the final solution to the workaround.
15:43:54 Von Ā Jacquie Samples Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  to be open about it, I do not think that "ETL" is a viable work-around, a sustainable work-around, for many of the common tasks in the Metadata Management sphere.
15:44:21 Von Ā Jacquie Samples Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  I was thinking a similar thing, Thomas, thanks for articulating it.
15:47:04 Von Ā Jacquie Samples Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  And the developers will mostly work in the "easiest" ones to code.
15:54:30 Von Ā Thomas Trutt Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  Or the most fun.. At least that is how I used to pick tickets.. LOL
15:56:52 Von Ā Jacquie Samples Ā an Ā Alle:
Ā  Ā  LOL!! Ā That does seem familiar. Ā :)
