Day 6

Today was day six. I was able to work in the morning, but had to return in the afternoon to orientation. My day 7 will also be orientation. Day 8 will have an hour of department specific orientation, followed by scrum of scrums, and then our holiday party.

In the morning I started my personal Kanban on post its, and started evaluation of fields in use for our jira project. I hope to hide the unused fields to start, and add them back in as needed to make the process less intimidating for users.

After speaking with one of the other scrum masters (analyst) we decided my notes can go in jira.
I was hoping to take over scrum on Wednesday but it looks like that will need to wait until Thursday. First change is I am making it alphabetical as it seems silly to just have everyone trying to figure out who is next each day.

Brain dump below

I also need to synch up and go over the backlog with the current scrum master, schedule the next retro, and probably grooming and planning (kick off).

Next task is create a sprint template for myself as well I think.

For example
Make sure next sprint is ready in jira
Make sure scrum, planning, grooming, retro and demos are scheduled. Have agenda for each.
Close sprint on consistent date /time and before retro
Roll cards needed
Have next sprint ready at sprint close, should be groomed.
Also need to do
Daily report on hours, automate, introduce non project work
Work on celebrations
Velocity report
Time spent by project report
Allocation report
Planning/Kick off agenda
Review epics, stories (points), and tasks with hours (if template, otherwise create them and evaluate if should become templates)
Scrum agenda
Alphabetical by first name
What you did yesterday
What you plan to do today
Anything blocking you, waiting on, need help, etc
Goal 15 min or less
Should align with recorded time
Grooming agenda
Review new stories, add points
Review new epics, add stories
Consider making templates as applicable
Try to have, based on priority, next 2 sprints cards ready
Retro agenda
What went well
What needs improvement
Decide action items
Review prior action items
Note you want everyone to participate, sometimes people feel better if you do post its or index cards. Also for spread out teams http://www.funretrospectives.com is good, Google docs can work too
Demos agenda
Show off, or verbally task about work complete

How do I find the Custom Field ID in Jira Cloud?

So you need to find the Custom Field ID in Jira Cloud. Perhaps you need the ID for a custom field to work on soem code, an API call or a script. How do you find it? You can find the ID in the URL when managing custom fields Jira - Settings - Issues - Fields - Custom Fields https://***.atlassian.net/secure/admin/ViewCustomFields.jspa Select "Edit" on the desired custom field .../admin/EditCustomField!default.jspa?id=12802 There you go! It is that number at the end of the URL Alternately, you can use ScriptRunner Jira - Setttings - Add-ons - Script Runner - Script Console and run the following def issueKey = '***-####' def result = get('/rest/api/2/issue/' + issueKey)         .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')         .asObject(Map) if (result.status == 200){     return result.body.fields } else {     return "Failed to find issue: Status: ${result.status} ${result....

The dreaded "Clone" in Jira

Jira Cloud Scrum Teams Case: We clone template issues, as our work is repetitive, and get “clone” in the summary and it makes it hard to read. Built-In Jira allows you to remove "Clone" from the story you are cloning, but if you are also copying the sub-tasks there is not the option to remove it. There are ways to turn this off in Jira Server, but I could not find it in Jira cloud. Solution: Jira - Settings - Add-Ons - ScriptRunner - Escalation Service The Escalation Service called: Remove Clone In Summary As this user: (myself) Checked - enabled On this schedule: Every Hour For first 50 results returned by this query:  Project in (pipe) and Summary ~ "CLONE" Will run this code:  // check if issue.fields.summary looks like "CLONE -" def updatedSummary ="" if (issue.fields.summary.startsWith("CLONE -")) {     //if so, modify issue.fields.summary to not suck.     updatedSummary = issue.fields.summar...

What is Agile and How Can I Use it Well?

I gave a talk at BSidesLV 2018 In the "Proving Ground" track for new speakers "What is Agile and How Can I Use it Well?" Are you a person who works with Agile developers? Are they driving you nuts? This presentation will explain the core tenets of Agile and how they apply to you, the security wonk. What you may not realize is that at its core Agile is about delivering a product, fast. Agile teams are focused on delivering a minimal viable product, getting feedback, and improving both the product and the process through iterative and continuous improvement. With a keen understanding of Agile forged in the trenches of large deployments, this presentation shows you how to effectively scale your team in order to have security be an integrated part of the Agile iterations.
