Reporting for Pipeline & Flow Management - Establishing Requirements Clarity

[viraj89]

Description

Brainstorm and develop ideas for automating the reporting mechanism for GitHub issues and iterations. The goal is to streamline the process of tracking, summarizing, and reporting issues and milestones from GitHub, reducing manual effort and ensuring up-to-date and accurate reporting. This could include generating automated reports, sending notifications on issue status changes, or creating dashboards for real-time updates on GitHub activity. The brainstorming phase will focus on identifying key pain points and ideating potential tools or systems for automation.

Goals

• [ ] Brainstorm and discuss potential solutions for automating GitHub issue tracking and reporting.
• [ ] Identify key reporting needs such as issue progress, iteration tracking, and milestone summaries.
• [ ] Explore automation tools or GitHub integrations that can generate reports or notifications based on issue/iteration activity.
• [ ] Develop ideas for generating periodic reports, real-time notifications, or visual dashboards to streamline tracking and reporting.
• [ ] Ensure that the proposed automation ideas reduce manual effort while maintaining accurate and up-to-date information.

Expected Outcome

• A comprehensive list of potential automation ideas for GitHub issue and iteration reporting.
• Identification of tools or GitHub integrations that can automate the reporting process, such as GitHub Actions, bots, or third-party integrations (e.g., Zapier, Slack, etc.).
• A plan for implementing an automated reporting solution that addresses the team's reporting needs, including updates, progress summaries, and notifications.

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] A brainstorming session is conducted, and a list of ideas for automating GitHub issue and iteration reporting is created.
• [ ] Tools and integrations that can automate the reporting process are explored and evaluated.
• [ ] A clear action plan or roadmap for automating the reporting mechanism is developed, including potential tools, workflows, and timelines for implementation.
• [ ] Documentation of the brainstorming session and proposed automation plan is created for further review and approval.
