POs present a review of Sprint goals and other committed work



Sprint Goal: Respond to user feedback on PPT and data in NDW to make both more usable.
Plus other committed-to work:
  • Implementing agreed coding standards / style
  • Prevent more than one RO per Local Office for Reval
  • SYNC SERVICE: add logic to sync service to check for failed jobs and rerun when necessary and alert to slack
  • Upgrade Angular from 5.2 to version 6
  • Develop a common understanding of "What is Angular Ahead of Time"
  • End to end test failing (both locally and in Jenkins) due to an auto-update of chrome version



POs supported by Dev team provide narrative on why, and what, emergency work was brought into the Sprint and which committed-to tickets were moved out as a result

2.

When searching in Programmes for a Programme only allow users to see Programme that they have access to via their user role.

4.

Implementing agreed coding standards / style

Simon / Andy D ?:(focus on benefits - longer term investment - new developers coming in etc):

Why have coding standards?

  • Devs generally spend much more time reading code than writing code (identifying issues, code reviews etc.). Having that be a consistent experience across the application speeds up assimilation of information.
  • Improves code quality and clarity (e.g. enforced minimum documentation).
  • Removes opinionated impediments to code acceptance.
  • New developers know what is expected and can get involved in productive code submission and review much more easily.

What coding standards?

We have chosen to use Google's published coding standards as a base. They are well documented which allows us to get up and running quickly.

Next steps

  • Apply standards to remaining services.
  • Reduce the current standards violations.
  • Enforce standards as part of our pipeline to ensure ongoing quality.

5.

Prevent more than one RO per Local Office for Reval

6.

SYNC SERVICE: add logic to sync service to check for failed jobs and rerun when necessary and alert to slack

John?/Pepe:


The problem:(focus on user benefits - fewer overnight issues - reliability of data first thing in the morning etc)

  • Some (trust) users not seeing all trainees
  • Developers don't enjoy having to 'waste' time dealing with failures

The benefits (of mitigating restarts):

  • More time to do good stuff .like developing features
  • Greater reliability in our users (especially Trust users) seeing the information they should

Other things we've done:

7.

Upgrade Angular from 5.2 to version 6

Noteworthy points for upgrade:

  • Introduction of breadcrumbs as an alternate navigation mode for TIS
  • Introduction of expiration time for toast messages within TIS
  • Updating of TIS's dependencies to bolster security and enhance efficiency of app
  • Removal of TIS's dependency on scaffolding
8.

Develop a common understanding of "What is Angular AoT"

Performance Metrics: What does it mean when we say we want TIS to be fast?

  • Quick loading of pages
  • Quick update of tables/forms
  • Quick navigation between pages

Current Implementation:

Aspirational Implementation:

9.End to end test failing (both locally and in Jenkins) due to an auto-update of chrome version
  • e2e tests are used to enforce the robustness and integrity of TIS prior to its deployment in the live environment
  • An update to google chrome driver resulted in the tests being unable to run. This was address in local development environments and on the server
