-[[!meta title="Project management"]]

-This page describes the lightweight project management process for
-development of vmdb2. Participation is voluntary.
-
-Iterative development process
-=============================================================================
-
-Iterative development seems to be the only thing that makes sense in
-order to produce working software that fills what users actually need.
-Otherwise, you don't get any feedback until at the end of the
-development period, when things should already be mostly finished.
-With iterations, you do a little bit of work, show that to relevant
-people, get feedback, and incorporate the feedback to future work as
-seems most sensible.
-
-There's a ton of methodologies to do iterative development. Scrum is
-currently popular. However, vmdb2 needs to be fun, and Scrum seems too
-heavy-weight for fun. Instead, this nearly informal process is what
-[[people/liw]] wants to use.
-
-* Iterations are a calendar week.
-
-* Start iteration with a short planning meeting, where goals are
- discussed and decided upon, and tasks outlined, and everything's
- written down. The tasks should be specified with a clear scope, and
- with enough detail to estimate that they can be done. Large tasks
- should be split down into small tasks, preferably into tasks less
- than an hour each.
-
- Only allocate enough tasks that they can all be completed with a
- high likelihood. It's always OK to do more, but it's de-moralising
- to never complete everything.
-
-* End the iteration with a short retrospective meeting, to summarise
- what was done (from the planned list of tasks or otherwise), and
- reflecting on the process to improve it, as necessary.
-
-* Write down decisions, in a meeting note in the intrawiki blog.
-
-* Estimates are done by the person who'll be doing the work. They
- should not be optimistic.
-
-Development workflow
-=============================================================================
-
-* Work should be done in feature branches, but merged frequently to
- master. Unfinished features should be disabled, via some sort of
- feature toggle. Merging branches only after a long time means
- there's more pain during merge, and it takes longer until there's
- feedback on the changes in the branch from, say, CI, actual use, or
- code review.
-
-* Work for Heat/Ansible stuff should also be merged frequently, and
- any affected production systems (`infra-*` stacks) should be
- deployed after merge is done. The master branch and what actually
- runs in production should never be far apart.
-
-* Merging should ideally involve review. However, as there's only the
- one actually working on vmdb2, review would slow things down too much.
- Thus, we'll probably not have review for the time being. (Hint:
- contributing reviews would be a useful thing to do.)
