"We combined DevOps and R&D tasks in a coordinated manner, breaking the last barrier between the R&D team."

Often in the product development process, R&D personnel need to control the most tools and platforms.

There are a lot of tools and platforms to be used for code, environment, deployment, containers, and servers, but many platforms cannot communicate with each other, which results in the inability to synchronize work. Repeated recording and reporting increases the workload.

The combination of traditional R&D task management and DevOps has achieved a high degree of cooperation from the R&D team

【Task Assignment】

The task allocation of R&D projects is the most core step in the entire project management. A clear arrangement of a series of related information such as project objectives, priorities, and persons in charge can guarantee the completion of the work of R&D personnel and reduce the cost of subsequent communication.

Work items have to show a lot of specific information:

(1) Descriptive information (title, description, attachments, COMMENTS, belonging iteration, belonging version)

COMMENTS is a communication space provided to developers, so that developers can conduct brief exchanges of opinions here, and some smaller, short-content discussions can be conducted here, without all related people gathering to discuss and save time

(2) Status information (work item status, priority)

(3) Personnel information (responsible person, founder, resolver)

Relevant personnel who clarify work items have clearly defined responsibilities.

(4) Time information (creation time, estimated time, elapsed time, expiration time)

Provide clear time information to help project managers control the progress of project development

(5) Associated work items (subtasks, BUG)

Associate related work items together to fully describe a function in the product, from requirements analysis to development and implementation to test feedback

【Progress monitoring】

  After the work item design is completed, you need to consider how to display the work items one by one. Considering that DevOps users have many different roles and different attention to kanban, for example, the project manager wants to see the task at a glance. Developers need to pay more attention to the specific content assigned to their work items, providing eight views of [table, column, kanban, Gantt chart, calendar, statistics, weekly summary, classification map], It is convenient for enterprise members to view the project from various angles and understand the project status in an all-round way.
