Sprint Coaches

Coaches should be available during the full sprint for help getting up to speed / answering questions / debugging issues / pair programming requests, etc.

Sprint Goals

(NOTE: Currently these goals are very high-level. They need to be broken down into specific tasks / tickets prior to the Sprint, so that those tickets are claimable by individuals.)

1. Alphabetic jump to (specific letter) in results listing (NOTE: Below browse tasks have a dependency on this feature.  Should we do this prior to the sprint?)
   
   1. E.g. Jump to a Title / Author starting with a specific letter or string, like http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/browse?type=title
2. Build out Administrative Search/Browse tools (each of these tools is limited to Site Administrators)
   1. Find Item by Internal Item ID/Item Handle  (e.g. XMLUI: http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/admin/item , JSPUI: http://demo.dspace.org/jspui/tools/edit-item)
   2. Browse Withdrawn Items (by Title) (e.g. XMLUI: http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/admin/withdrawn , JSPUI: http://demo.dspace.org/jspui/dspace-admin/withdrawn)
   3. Browse Private Items (by Title) (e.g. XMLUI: http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/admin/private , JSPUI: http://demo.dspace.org/jspui/dspace-admin/privateitems)
3. Improve developer documentation / getting up-to-speed documentation.

Sprint Schedule

• Weekly Kickoff Meeting (each Monday)
  • Sprint Participants (or a representative from your organization) should attend the Sprint Week Kickoff Meeting in DSpace Meeting Room.
    • Anyone unable to attend must touch base with the Sprint Coordinator (Tim Donohue) via another means (Slack, DSpace Meeting Room, email, etc) for any necessary information.
  • The goal of the Kickoff meeting is to:
    • Touch base & finalize plans / goals for the Sprint week (i.e. ensure everyone is on the same page)
    • Ensure all participants have assigned tasks, and any necessary support/resources to begin their work
    • As necessary, go through expectations / protocols of the Sprint (e.g. Contributing code via PRs, Where to ask for help/support, Meeting schedule for week, etc)
    • Address or discuss any questions that sprint participants may have
• Daily Standups via Slack: On each day of the sprint (Tues-Fri), prior to 15:00 UTC, each participant should report their status update in the Slack #dev channel.  This will act as our daily "standup" meeting.
