[Design Doc] - Standup Feature Updates

[Pratiyushkumar]

Title

StandUp Feature Updates Developer Name - @Pratiyushkumar

Overview As the Standup feature is deployed on Production under the feature flag, remove the feature from the feature flag I asked developers in the team for review and I got a few suggestions from developers. so this project will be an updated version of the existing feature in production.

Currently, the feature looks like Below-

Suggestions I got -

• Tejas suggested that we should use a text area instead of an input box for the users to fill their standup.
• Fakhrudin, Bharati, and Ritik told me that when the user is new to standup and the user has not filled the standup until now for 1 time at least then the user should see the message “no updates so far” instead of “0 missed standup updates”.
• Developers suggested that if the user has filled the standup for a current date then the form should not be visible saying “You have filled your current day standup”.
• Developers suggested that instead of showing yesterday's date we should just show “Yesterday’s update” to avoid confusion.
• Also on click of the submit button, please disable the button/ reduce the opacity to show the click has happened. Same when the the button is hovered (when not disabled), add some change in color to indicate the event but this is not a valid suggestion because after the form submission standup form will be invisible for the day and then visible for the next day standup only.

Context As per the suggestions received, this project is important from a user perspective because this project will make the user experience much better and also will remove the confusion between the users while filling up the standup form.

Existing Solution

• Currently users can fill out the standup form by visiting the "https://status.realdevsquad.com/standup?dev=true".
• When the user fills out the form for the current date, the user mentions it's yesterday's task that was done, today's task that will be done, and the blockers faced by it and submits the form.

Proposed Solution for updates As per the suggestions I got from developers within the group -

• We should replace the input box with the text area so that users can see all the things when typing, Currently When the user types backward text gets hidden.
• After the user submits the form by 5:59 a.m. form should not be visible to the user and show a message that "Your standup for the has already been submitted, please fill out the form on<Date+1> after 6:00 a.m.".
• If the user is filling the form for the first time then on the banner he should see the message as "No Update till now, Please fill your standup".
• On showing yesterday's date as a label above the input field we should show "Yesterday" text as a label to avoid user confusion because maybe users can get confused.

Solution Finalized As discussed with Ankush

• We need to add one input box after the other input box to add standup.
• Currently, we need to prefer the IST timezone, and according to that -
  • After the user submits the form by 5:59 a.m. form should not be visible to the user and show a message that "Your standup for the has already been submitted, please fill out the form on<Date+1> after 6:00 a.m.".
  • should change the text "Let's try to avoid having 0 missed updates" to "Let's try not to miss the updates"
  • On showing yesterday's date as a label above the input field we should show "Yesterday" text as a label to avoid user confusion because maybe users can get confused. Just put the current standup date below the standup title.

• I can see at multiple places you are addressing the user as him. Please avoid it by using an inclusive pronoun.
• Add the diagrams for changes that are going take place after implementing this update Especially for these pointer:

As per @iamitprakash suggestion over this doc, correct me @iamitprakash if I am wrong anywhere

• We need to change the timezone in the backend as well as the frontend bring the system to the same time zone and show the user form according to his time zone as per requirement. we need to use CST(central standard time)
• Disable the form when the user has filled the form instead of removing the form and then showing a message.
• Also we don't need to changed message if user is filling form for first time - "you have 0 missed updates"

As per @RitikJaiswal75 suggestion

1. Only fix the grammar of text that says "Let's avoid having 0 missed updates"
2. We can use a rich text editor instead of a text area - (to be confirmed by @ankushdharkar if a rich text editor or text area is required")
3. remove dates from the banner and below the standup update put the current standup date.

[Pratiyushkumar]

As per discussion with @ankushdharkar -

1. need to add multiple input boxes for giving updates by clicking on the + button.
2. Currently, we will be using IST instead of CST because we are creating features as per India.
