To-Do Manager

To organize the various tasks that need to be completed, we use GitHub projects to track tasks. This provides us the following advantages:

  • Kanban-like organization board
  • Classification tags
  • User assignment
  • Discussion threads

It is very important that the to-do manager is used to keep everyone informed on what tasks need to be completed and the status of their progress.

Creating a Task

Open the board at https://github.com/orgs/WOFTNW/projects/5.

Decide which category you will add the task to.

  • To triage contains tasks that require additional research or discussion to determine the exact details of the task.
  • Backlog contains tasks that have been triaged but are not currently in focus.
  • Ready contains tasks that are waiting for someone to start the tasks.
  • In progress contains tasks that have been started.
  • In review contains tasks that have been completed but need review for confirmation.
  • Done contains tasks that are finished.

In the column of the category you choose, click the Add item button at the bottom.

If you do not see this button, you may not have write permission. Contact an admin.

In the text box that appears, type in the name of the task you want to create, then click Create new issue or press the ENTER/RETURN key. Verify that the selected repository is "WOFTNW/To-Do". If there is an applicable template, select it. Otherwise, click Blank issue.

Now, you can add a description and applicable tags. If the task has a leader, set them as the assignee. Keep in mind that everything can be changed later. Once you're ready, click Create.

After creating the issue, you can open it to define more parameters in the project section like the priority, size, and level required.
