-- Jenkins Automated Continuous Integration : http://taskrmastr.ddns.net:8080

Description of an automated CI/CD process:

• Jenkins server is hosted on an Amazon AWS public Windows server.
• The Jenkins automated build (CSCI_E-71_TaskrMastr_test) is triggered whenever code is pushed to the GitHub repository. This is implemented with the help of the Jenkins GitHub plugin.
• Downloads code from remote repository on Github, and places it in a local on the Jenkins server repository.
• Run tests:
• Generates test report in Jenkins
• Generates coverage report
• When tests are successful, another Jenkins job is available (CSCI_E-71_TaskrMastr_deploy) to actually deploy the changes. When triggered, the application will be deployed to the webserver, and hence publically available.

Sprinttasktic1_Intro_11_2_2015.pptx.pdf file (Link: https://github.com/yashspatel23/csci71-FinalProject/blob/d03d5edd075338fa4c79e908a3b762c562eb2d5d/Sprinttasktic1_Intro_11_2_2015.pptx.pdf)

Some stakeholders don't care about having a calendar or about sharing tasks/making tasks private. However, all say it is essential to be able to push to their mobile devices. This feedback changed our product backlog in that we've reprioritized mobile notifications, bumping that item from Sprint 4 to Sprint 3.

Other feedback is that they would like integration with Jira and would like to have the option of video conferencing within the application. Slack integration is included as a future backlog item, so we've now also included Jira integration as a user story. Both Slack and Jira will likely fall outside the scope of what we can do in the next 4 weeks, but it is good to know for future reference. Video conferencing is a great idea, and we've added it to our user stories for future development, but it, too, falls outside the scope of what we can accomplish in the next two sprints.

*Note that our evening meeting Monday, November 16 after class will be our sprint planning session for the next two weeks. Because setting up everyone's IDEs and PHPUnit testing took so long, we will need to revamp our product backlog for the next two sprint sessions based on what we accomplished in Sprint 1. We will also likely update our product backlog for Sprints 4 and 5 (even though we will not actually get to them) and move at least one item out to future sprints.

-- CEO Brian K. added that the one core functionality he doesn't see as "essential" (among those that we included in our first three sprints) is the analytics tools.

-- CEO Jeremy M. does see this functionality as essential, and it might be a selling point for him because as far as he knows, he does not have an application that includes it. However, he added that he "pays other people to do this stuff for him," so we would need to meet with his software developers.

-- Homekeeper Karen H. said that she doesn't see a need for extensive profile options; her primary interest would be an application that enables her to create categories, create tasks within those categories, and edit and delete those categories. In addition, she wants to receive notification via both email and text.

-- The other stakeholders said their feedback remains as it was after the first sprint, so these are the only new updates.

The ways this new information impacted our PBIs is that we've moved the analytics tools a little farther down the list, and we've affirmed that text notifications indeed needs to remain in Sprint 3 because all stakeholders consider it essential. We also bumped "Set User Profile & Preferences" farther down the list because not all stakeholders consider this a necessary functionality.

*Note that either "Set user preferences" or "Sort list items" will be moved to Sprint 4 (hence the discrepancy in points allotted to that sprint versus actual points in user stories). We are meeting after class on Nov. 30 for our Sprint planning session and will decide as a team how best to proceed.

-- Analytics burndown tool: The stakeholders like the idea of our analytics tool; two of them have now viewed the visual on our application. They would like to see it after all features are working, but they like the concept as we've explained it.

-- Calendar: One stakeholder in particular, Karen Harris, had previously stated that she really had no use for a calendar, but she had assumed she'd have to manually update the calendar and found that idea wearisome. Now that she's seen it, however, she is really happy that tasks, given start and end dates, can appear automatically on the calendar. We did note a bug that needs fixed in our calendar, and that remains for next sprint.

-- Web conferencing One CEO friend really wants this feature and was the one to suggest it. This sprint I've spent time interviewing some of our other stakeholders as well, and they also think it is a cool idea. One stakeholder, Don the Harvard student (Greg Gerrein) feels it would be cool but would entail a lot of development.

-- At this point, we are not changing our product backlog except to prioritize debugging the calendar. The feedback we've received confirms that we're headed in the right direction. We had our notiications nearly completed but needed to stop that and work on hosting our app and other issues, so we weren't able to push either email or text notifications. Those, along with profile and preferences setup, would be pushed to sprint 4. We would, ideally, meet after class today to plan our next sprint. That's what we've been doing each sprint.
