What should I do before I start working on a Story/Bug

  • Make sure the requirements and acceptance criteria are clearly expressed and there are no unanswered questions
  • Make sure the estimation in story points is added to a Story/Bug;
    • Note: estimate should be added to a Story/Bug itself and should include the effort of related sub-tasks if any. Estimates should not be added to sub-tasks as they won't be added to Velocity.
  • Populate Development Team field to indicate the correct team:
    • Stacks
    • EBSCO - FSE
    • Thunderjet
  • Fill out Tester Assignee field:
  • Fill out Fix version(s) field:
    • Select Unreleased Fix Version from the dropdown
    • Contact your SM if you are not sure what to select
  • Make sure the work on a Story/Bug is not blocked/dependent and it conform to the Definition of Ready
  • Make sure a Story/Bug is added to an active sprint (ACQ Sprint [XX])
  • Assign a Story/Bug to you
  • Make sure you have enough time to complete an additional Story/Bug by the end of current sprint before adding it to an active sprint
  • Move a Story/Bug to In Progress as soon as you start working on it
  • Ensure that the Story/Bug has links to an appropriate epic, feature, and to any related stories which might provide additional/helpful context.
    • Note: Contact the PO and/or tech lead if you need help choosing an epic/feature
    • Note: It may be acceptable to omit epic/feature links on some bugs, but they should be provided when applicable

What should I do while working on a Story/Bug

  • Communicate to the team and PO in case you find out that estimate for the story is not valid any longer and get it updated
    • Note: try to avoid tweaking the original estimate during the sprint as it is considered as scope change
  • Update the status of a Story/Bug accordingly:
    • In Progress - work in progress
    • Blocked - work is blocked
    • In Code Review - PR is created and code review is in progress
    • In Review - PR is merged and pending deployment
  • In case a Story/Bug is moved to Blocked status, link corresponding blocker or indicate the reason in comments (if not blocked with some specific story)
  • @Tag other people in comments if you need some feedback
  •  Add comments in case there was some additional valuable info found out while development or in case there were some important discussions on the appropriate solution - it can help other people to better understand what was done in scope of a Story/Bug.
  • Make sure PR is available in a Story/Bug and PR description is added
  • Merge PR when all comments are fixed and there are at least two approves from other developers
  • Make sure your updates are working as expected on test env

What should I do before I assign a Story/Bug to PO for review

  • Make sure the estimation in story points is added to a Story/Bug
  • Make sure Development Team field is populated
  • Make sure Tester Assignee field is populated
  • Make sure Fix version(s) field is filled out
  • Make sure a Story/Bug is added to an active sprint (ACQ Sprint [XX])
  • Re-assign a Story/Bug if updates are available for review on test env:
  • No labels
