A slackbot to determine who will be the next iteration manager (or, scrum master, roster)
Also, suggest a better name! e.g. @scrumbot
- Obtain the list of active members in a group and put it in the queue.
@scrumbot init
- Determine who all are eligible to be scrum master.
- Will be a manual process (with
/!add
or/!remove
)
- Will be a manual process (with
- Rotate among elgible active members biweekly / sprint duration.
- Round Robin strategy seems applicable.
- A reminder to the bot instead of scheduling it.
/remind #channel "@scrumbot skip" for every other Friday at 6:00pm
- Change the description to edit the present scrum master.
Not handled yet!!
- What happens if sprint ends early? (1 week)
- Find possibilities to obtain the exact sprint duration from JIRA. (can be too much of a hassle!!)
- What happens if an assignee wants to replace his/her duty with another member for the sprint?
- How many times can he/she replace?
- Need affirmations from both the assigned and the assignee.
/!add @user1 @user2 ...
= add user(s) eligible to be scrum master in a channel/!remove @user1 @user2 ...
= remove user(s) eligible to be scrum master in a channel/!swap @user1 @user2
= swap user1's turn with user2 for one iteration/!view
= show current scrum master, followed by others in line/!skip
= pre-empt current scrum master's turn, and appoint the next eligible/!skip n
= skip to the nth member
