Creating Stories and Tasks in Jira: Personas and our Software Development Team

Part of the CI/CD Development Series

The next step is developing who is on our hypothetical development team. Given that it has a React front end and ColdFusion as the Server Side language, I came up with the following personas, all of which have their own needs and considerations for our development environment. I've listed all the jobs that need doing, not the people involved since, even on a small team or a team of one, these "hats" are all worn by someone, even if it's the same person.

Personas for our Project

Dev Ops Coordinator - The person responsible for smooth and accurate deployments

CF Developer - The person responsible for the API and fulfillment code development and maintenance.

React Developer - The person responsible for the front end development

Database Coordinator - The person responsible for the schema, data, up time and, presumably the testing databases used by the developers.

Lead Developer - The person responsible for coordinating the developers and, presumably, on boarding new team members.

Project Manager - Responsible for schedules, budget and documentation

Product Manager - The key advocate for the business cases and the product

End User - The person who is going to be ultimately using the app we create. At the moment, we have no idea who this is since, in essence, at the moment, the app itself is playing a second tier role to it's architecture and the development process for the sake of our project but since this is our ultimate audience, even for this experiment, they need to be here.

With these roles in mind we can start to do some diagramming and ticket writing.

    There are many benefits of social media marketing. One of the most important benefits is that it allows businesses to connect with their customers on a personal level. This is because social media marketing allows businesses to interact with their customers directly. This interaction can help businesses to understand their customers better and to build better relationships with them. social media management company Chicago

CF: Scripting amidst the tags

Recently I had to do a quick "utility" page where I needed to see how many files from a directory listing had been recorded into a database. I've been writing about 98% of my CF code in script syntax but, since it was quick and easy, I did this quickly in tags because it was outputting directly to the browser. In doing so, I made an interesting discovery in that, when you use closures, even in tag based pages, you can write cfscript. Here's the example Get the directory listing:  < cfset alljs = directoryList(expandpath( '/src' ), true , "path" , "*.js" )> Get the database listings and convert it to an array < cfquery name = "alljsQ" datasource = "blah" > select * from sitefiles where filename like '%.js%' </ cfquery > < cfset recordedFiles = valuelist(alljsQ.filename).listToArray()> Use a filter function to weed out the files I'd already recorded < cfset missingFiles = alljs.fi...

As the Dev Ops Manager, I need to start planning our CI/CD release process

Part of the CI/CD Development Series Once we have our Deployment Diagram designed, we need to figure out out to get from here to there. If the end point is the appropriate server environment, the starting point is the developer with his/her hand on the keyboard. These steps take place on a variety of machines, within various process and can changes based on what files are checked in or not. At the moment, we've only created the early basics as seen below. The Beginning of our Deployment Activity Chart Even though there is quite a long way to go there are some elements which we have already been determined. For example We have determined the broad strokes of our technology stack. This is going to be React on the front end and ColdFusion on the server side. We have determined that we are going to be using linting on both the CF and React paths. CFLint for the CF and ESLint for the Javascript We have determined that we are going to be formatters - CFFormat for CF and...
