Task Management

We use Trello to manage tasks and track progress for the ADAMANT Messenger project.

• Trello Board: PWA
• Slack Channel: #private-dev-pwa

Trello Board Columns

Below is a description of each column on our Trello board and its purpose:

Column	Description
Backlog	Ideas or tasks that are not yet prioritized.
To Do	Tasks that have been selected for the current cycle but are not started.
In Process	Tasks that are actively being worked on by developers.
On Review	Completed tasks waiting for code review.
Testing	Tasks undergoing quality assurance testing.
Tested	Successfully tested tasks, ready for release.
Released	Tasks that are deployed and live in production.

Responsibility for Moving Tasks

Column	Who Moves the Task	When to Move the Task
Backlog	Team Lead	When a new task or idea is created.
To Do	Team Lead	When prioritizing tasks for the current cycle.
In Process	Developer	When starting work on a task.
On Review	Developer	When the task's code is complete and ready for review.
Testing	Team Lead	When the code review is approved and the task is ready for testing.
Tested	Tester	When the task has passed all testing criteria.
Released	Team Lead	After deployment to production.

General Guidelines

• Developers:
  • Ensure the task description is clear and you have all the necessary information before moving the task to In Process.
  • After completing the work:
    • Open a PR and add bludnic as a reviewer.
    • Link the Trello task to the PR on GitHub.
    • Move the task to On Review.
    • (Optional) Post a message in the #private-dev-pwa Slack channel to speed up the reviewing process.
• Team Lead:
  • Prioritizing tasks from Backlog to To Do.
  • Regularly review tasks in On Review and move them to Testing after the PR is approved.
  • If a PR requires changes, move the task back to In Process so the developer can fix the issues.
  • After a PR is approved, merge it into dev and move the task to Testing.
  • After releasing to production (dev → master), move all accumulated tasks from Tested to Released.
• Testers:
  • Update the task status with testing notes after testing.
  • If testing fails, move the task back to In Process.
  • Move the task to Tested when all tests passed.

By following this workflow, we ensure clarity and accountability for every task on the Trello board.

Communication Guidelines

• For Code Issues: Use the comments within the PR.
• For Testing Issues: Communicate directly in Trello.
• Other Discussions: Use the #private-dev-pwa Slack channel as needed.

By adhering to these guidelines, we streamline the workflow and maintain efficient communication within the team.
