Presentation on Trello - Josh Moore
Need to get hands dirty…
https://trello.com/b/ekwzuNLv/trello-demo
Homepage lists all boards
can ‘star’ your favorites, ‘your boards’ etc.
stick with ‘openmicroscopy’ organisation
Create board - need to add users
Each board & card has unique link
Card has single description - best to use it
Add checklist etc. Useful, can drag n drop to re-order
Up to 6 labels on card - take care when moving cards between boards
Multiple members per card.
Due date can be useful - viz later
Votes, Subscribe etc.
Get lots of notifications, e-mail
Sidebar:
- Powerups - voting, aging, calendar. Calendar enabled - toolbar button.
- Stickers - please don’t overuse!
- E-mail - address per board. Send e-mail to create card. - could teach jobs, tools etc to create cards etc
- Profile -> cards List all your cards.
Left board list:
- Drag and drop to re-arrange.
- Can show permanently
Shortcut keys (use “?” to show)
E.g. mouseover cards and “space” to add, numbers to toggle labels.
Filter “q” to show only your tickets.
Searching pretty good.
Drag-n-drop or Move card to board - quick! Easy to keep up-to-date
Archive boards, lists, cards. Open in side bars.
Snapshots / Template boards E.g. release planning
Concurrency issues - E.g. editing cards at same time.
“Boards I watch”:
Sysadmin board:
- Inbox for new cards - don’t know where they go
- in-progress - Keep up to date.
- archive after ‘done’
DevX board (developer experience)
- API changes, integrations tests, etc
- List for each user - in-progress.
UX board, Documentation board etc.
Need to decide on common usage of boards.
Try to get all cards at the same granularity
Don’t add too much noise to ‘Priorities’ board - E.g personal TODO list.
Need to add dates to Priorities board.
Upcoming features board:
Move to here from Priorities board.
Numbers are limits on number of cards in list
Need to keep cards moving -> release
Scoping - API, mockup UI, etc. Team know what’s needed
Impl [5] get it done!
Demo - petr.
Demo Done - could be released.
Petr: what does membership mean?
Josh: different per board; important for notification
Chris: expresses interest
Jason: need to be led
Will: boards aren’t public (yet?)
Chris: nothing technically stopping us. What would people do with the content?
Jason: we’re already challenging ourselves/users with the number of views. Expressing different things than trac.
Ola: No milestone view - Josh - stick with trac - could add milestone number to Upcoming Features.
Chris: use trello to reduce the noise of ideas, since that’s never worked well on trac. (requirements whiteboard)
