2023-09-28 Agenda and Notes

Participants:

  • Julia
  • Jack
  • Steph
  • Rohan
  • Bonnie
  • Josh
  • Trillium (optional)

Issues to discuss:

  • Slack Channels to drop (everything but vrms & vrms-tech used for security - rename channel. Also, discuss vrms-design with Julia):
Slack Channels Responsible Status Public or private Last Message Date
vrms-ops vrms Dormant public 2020-11-10
vrms-ui vrms Dormant public 2021-01-16
vrms-test vrms Dormant public 2021-06-11
vrms-devs vrms Dormant public 2021-07-08
vrms-tech vrms Active private 2023-08-07
vrms vrms Active public 2023-09-11
vrms-design vrms Dormant public 2023-02-02
  • Julia: Brainstorm screen size (addition with dashboard screen)
  • Julia: potentially discuss new lo-fi designs
  • Trillium: How to change AWS secrets? Not sure if we can change our secrets, or if we need to put them into some environment elsewhere. Usually, AWS will have a place. Probably some secrets for VRMS, one of them is JWT secret that we use to sign Javascript web tokens (email is signed by our secret). Need to change this secret to make it more secure.

Notes from meeting:

  • AWS secrets - check with Ops Community of Practice for this info. Also provided him with access to 1password
  • Bonnie recommends finishing up "milestone" labelling first, followed by "feature" labels and any other missing labels, which will aid in the prioritization process. Apply labels to all open issues (even if outside of current project).
  • Decided to use REM instead of PX in designs, recommend designing for smallest common phone size (e.g., iphone 14), and also provide gap size / percentages to devs with designs going forward.

Participants:

  • Julia
  • Jack
  • Steph
  • Rohan
  • Bonnie
  • Josh
  • Trillium (optional)

Issues to discuss:

  • Met with Julia & Trillium separately this week.
  • Update on Check in bug - after further review, appears to have been solved and the fix should be going into PROD shortly. (given this is a bug fix and we are not introducing new functionality, what are QA testing requirements prior to PROD - are stakeholder's required?)
  • Updates to Login and Landing / Check in pages - both of these pages use outdated design. Given that there was already a request to fix the Login page, we elected to update the Checkin page as well. Low lift / high impact.
    • Discuss alternative logos?
    • Design audit of other screens to get this up to date
  • Discuss handling of Epic issues (new column created)
  • Review issues contained within the "Existing Features" Milestone:
    • Check if any issues are missing

Notes from meeting:

  • Bonnie was unavailable to meet for today's call. Jack & Trillium discussed next steps on the check in bug release to PROD, and login and landing check in page updates.

Notes from meeting:

Bonnie's feedback re: PMs being able to edit project details on current VRMS build.

  • When testing VRMS with a Project Manager assigned to the Tables Project, PM was able to edit the project details.
    • PMs assigned to a project are not supposed to be able to edit anything about the project currently. PMs should only be able to edit/add/remove the events of a project in VRMS current state.
    • Reason: in the current state of VRMS, there is no review process for PM edits to project details, so we cannot allow PMs to make edits to Project details. In the future, we will allow for certain project edits by a PM because a PM's project edits will be passed on to an Admin to be reviewed/approved.
    • PM cannot edit project details…. (Can only view the rest of it).
      • Find the guidance… if it’s not everything, then review what it is.
      • IN Current state, there is no review process, so cannot be able to edit.
  • In summary: Any project edits should be LIMITED to admins only in CURRENT state.

Delete/restore Icons:

Tasks to do:

  • QA Test PM access to make project edits on projects using DEV/PROD.
  • Depending on results, create issue limiting project edit abilities on PM accounts (project edit limited to Admins only, PMs can only edit events).

Issues to discuss:

  • Check in re: Privacy Policy
  • Collect additional info on Zoom URL API issue (specific page?)
  • Review validation requirements for Project Management screen
    • HfLA website URL & Google URL: Recently, we removed validation & dropped requirements for the HfLA Website URL and Google Drive URLs because not all projects will have these links and a user cannot . However, we have some older issues that request form validation for both of these fields.
      • Form Validation - Google Drive URL #1369
      • Form Validation - HFLA Website URL #1370
      • Based on ChatGPT, it sounds like it is possible to require validation of the text in a text input field while also allowing the field to remain optional (i.e., not requiring it to be filled out) by applying conditional validation logic. If I can confirm this is the case, would this type of conditional validation be preferred?
  • Double check other required fields on Project Management screen and validation:
Field Name Required Currently? Validation?
Project Name YES Requested - issue written (no duplicates, 3-60 characters, allowable symbols: "- , ' " numbers, letters") - #1268
Project Description YES COMPLETE (250 Characters)
GitHub Identifier YES (Change to NOT REQUIRED to be filled, but keep this field) Requested - no issue (unsure of how to verify)
GitHub URL YES Requested - Issue written, but has been closed #1367
Slack Channel Link YES Requested - Issue written #1368
Google Drive URL NO (Change to REQUIRED field) Requested - issue written #1369
HFLA Website URL NO Requested - issue written #1370

Issues to discuss:

  • Julia OOO until June 19
  • Steph responded to request & removed Otter.AI from Zooms. Interested in staying on the team.
  • GitHub Migration to the new Projects experience?
Screenshot 2024-05-30 at 5 16 05 PM
  • Re: Google Drive URL on Project Management screen - last week, you mentioned that this should be a required field, however we recently dropped that requirement, as it was blocking changes to project information for projects without a Google Drive URL.
    • A lot of the projects on VRMS do not currently include a Google Drive URL. By requiring a Google Drive URL in order to create/edit/save a project management form on VRMS, these existing projects will be locked from any changes on VRMS. Is this acceptable (we may need ALL projects on VRMS to update that info, or perhaps we can set up a time between the two of us to work on this together)?
    • Are there any occasions where a Google Drive URL will not be available? E.g., perhaps a “completed” / “on hold” / “archived” project or a test project does not have/need a Google Drive URL.
  • Check in re: Privacy Policy

Bonnie's Slack message re: GitHub migration - 2024.06.06

@channel The Product Management Community of Practice is helping projects to properly migrate their project boards. Please reach out to the [#product-management](https://hackforla.slack.com/archives/C010LNXH2JY) Slack channel for help scheduling a meeting for that, if you are unable to attend our Friday meetings.

Things to be aware of:

  • Each project will get one project board (unless given an exception by the admin team). You can create as many views of your project board as you need.
    • If you already have a project board on the new scheme, but your main project board is still on classic, please reach out in the #product-management channel for help rationalizing them into 1 board.
  • Do not create test boards. If you have created a test project board, open or closed, please be aware, it is visible at the org level. Here is how it works:
    • You see any project boards you have created
    • You see any project boards that your teams have been granted access to
    • The org admins see all project boards even if they are marked private. There is no way to organize the boards (other than what we devise). So given the difficulty of managing the boards, please stop creating test boards.
      • If you want to understand how project boards work for orgs, you can setup your very own org and test them there.
      • We reserve the right to delete any project boards, that are not specifically designated to a team without notification to the author or team members. See the next bullet on how to connect a project board to your team's repo.
  • Connect the project board to your team
    • Add the URL of your repo to the next project boards once the migration is complete. See Food Oasis as an example: https://github.com/orgs/hackforla/projects?query=is%3Aopen+food+oasis. You do this through the settings once you are looking at the open project board (click three dots, choose settings).
    • Make sure that the project is connected to the repo. This will happen automatically if you are migrating the project board. If the board is a fresh board (which there should not be any fresh boards). You do that connection from the repository itself.
  • Cards are not available on the new project boards. All cards will be converted to draft issue, and for the most part, you don't want that.
    • If you have a column on your project board with cards (e.g., a start here colum). Create an issue to copy the content from the cards to the issue, so that you can delete them prior to the migration see this wiki page for general details https://github.com/hackforla/product-management/wiki/GitHub-Project-Board-Migration-Issue.
    • If you have a card at the top of a column, that explains the column, there is a details option in the new project boards columns where you can put that text. During the weekly product-management meetings we can show you how to implement those.
    • If you have a board that is all cards, we recommend you create a spreadsheet and move the content to the sheet with the column names being a selection in column B (e.g., HUU: Persona board transfer spreadsheet)
  • Members of your team will need to be granted access to the project board. In the settings for the board, you add the names of your GitHub teams, not individual members. That way when a team member is offboarded from the team, they only have to be removed from the Google Drive, GitHub-write team, and Figma. The boards are already publicly visible, so prior volunteers can still see that, as can future team members.
  • Rename the project board before the migration. The name convention is initials of the team: project board (e.g., Civic Tech Jobs Project board would be CTJ: project board). If you already have more than one board on the new project, please keep the same naming convention (CTJ: project board - pimary, and CTJ: project board - secondary to be rationalized.)

When you click User you get this

If you click the first link you get this

If you click the second link you would get this

and if you clicked the Results by PM you would get this

to make someone an admin, you would go to their user record and toggle.

2024-09-05 Agenda and Notes

Participants:

  • Julia
  • Jack
  • Steph
  • Bonnie
  • Josh
  • Trillium (optional)

Issues to discuss:

  • Closed PMs need to be able to give other PMs access #1243 as this is a duplicate.
  • Slightly refined wording on Allow project managers to assign new project managers to projects they manage #1231 and placed in icebox with the dependency to complete once the "Permission Management" issues (Results by Admin & Results by PM) are complete.
    • Note that currently, PMs can only see the "projects" tab, they do not see the "users" tab (this is reserved for Admins only at the moment). Thus to enable something like Allow project managers to assign new project managers to projects they manage #1231 , we would need to:
        1. Open up access to "User Management" screen for PMs (however, do not allow access to "Permission Management" screen). PMs to see the "Users" tab and the "User Management" screen to search by user (see all users or perhaps only filtered to users on their team), and then add a user to only their project within the user profile screen (again, only allowing.
      • 2). Enable another flow for PMs entirely?
      • ANSWER: This issue has been placed in the icebox for now and will be revisited after implementing this Permission Management fix.
  • Discuss epic creation for new Permission Management features refine draft together": Epic - User Permission Search #1737
    • Should "User Permission Management" be searchable, or provide a list format? If so, will need to add search component.
      • YES, add search component.
      • Results by Admin:
        • Display full list, alphabetical order by user name
        • Search by user name
      • Results by PM:
        • search by project name only.
        • Change title to "Results by Project Lead"
    • Should this existing issue be added to the epic? Create ability for Admins to promote and demote Admins #1486
      • Yes, this should be added to the epic (to be implemented directly after the "results by Admin" feature is completed).
      • However, it needs to be reviewed further with Bonnie during next week's PM call.
    • Timeline - kick off with design first for mid-fi screens, or move ahead with existing screens?
      • Move ahead with implementation based on
    • Displaying PMs with multiple projects?
      • Repeat the User Name for each project they are on.
        • Alphabetical order, organized by project, and then organized by user name.

Notes from meeting:

Tasks to do:

  • Refine Bonnie's mockups for quick implementation. Per Bonnie - no additional UI/UX required for this implementation, as this is a hotfix that will be revised in the future.

Items for next meeting agenda:

  • Review existing issue that will be part of epic: Create ability for Admins to promote and demote Admins #1486
  • Discuss epic
  • Confirm default display of Results by Admin and Results by Project Lead (prior to entering a search query) = full list of users. Believe this is the case, as the request was for Bonnie to be able to access a list of all Admins, and a list of all PMs on each project. Given that only Admins will be able to access these features, not sure if there are any issues associated with displaying full list.

2024-08-12 Agenda and Notes

Participants:

  • Julia
  • Jack
  • Steph
  • Bonnie
  • Josh
  • Trillium (optional)

Issues to discuss:

  • Discuss epic: Epic - User Permission Search #1737
    • Review Jack's updated designs of original (updated with search bar, refined filter labels - dropped "Results by", and clean UI)
    • Explore questions:
      • Should search be name & email or just name? (currently User search is divided into name OR email - so if we stick with existing functionality, perhaps name would be best?)
        • ANSWER: Just name
      • Should search for "Project Leads" allow for searching based on project name?
        • ANSWER: Name OR Project
      • Confirm default view (prior to entering search query). Should this be a list of all relevant users (e.g., ALL admins, and ALL project leads?)
        • Believe this was the case given that the requests from Bonnie were:
            1. "to see who I might need to offboard (which currently, I would have to look up each PM that is marked inactive on the roster for the team)"
            1. "to see if all the pms are currently onboarded (although I can currently look up a few people manually) was to be able to access a list of all admins and alist of all PMs on each project."
          • Also, given that only Admins will be able to access these features, this may limit any issues associated with displaying a full list of users - discuss further.
        • ANSWER: YES - we need to see everything here (show full list of admins, and show project leads full list
      • Discuss placement of "VRMS Admin" toggle on "EditUsers" screen
        • ANSWER: Yes - use new placement
      • Review existing issues that may be part of this epic (pending confirmation from Trillium ATM): Create ability for Admins to promote and demote Admins #1486 & Fix the api for projects to include project users #1163
    • Julia to present alternate options / brainstorm ideas on how to streamline this process from a UI/UX perspective (e.g., unifying "User Management" and "User Permission Management" on one page, and implementing a series of 4 different filters to take care of all processes).

Notes from meeting:

  • Discussed new super admin user feature to secure the admin promotion/demotion process and ensure we never lose control of the system. Jack to create issue and discuss with the team.

Issues to discuss:

  • Epic: Marketing: VRMS marketing#70
  • Demo of Admin Toggle feature: https://dev.vrms.io/login (Jack Haeger-PM account)
  • Update on Vite Build Issue:
    • Build system is now fixed and working, no impact on current functionality. Can merge & build again.
    • CI/CD unit test suite is not building, Trillium working on getting the test suite runner working again.

Notes from meeting:

  • Home Unite us team is committing all of their SSO for using cognito via Terraform to Incubator which the DevOps CoP team has agreed to accept.
    • Then will refactor out their cognito into a service for everyone. That will just be a service that when you are writing files for Terraform for VRMS that we can just specify using a service and all of the code is already written for it. Just have to format user pool this way, secrets, etc., but the idea is that cognito coding will not have to be written by each project.
    • Customization will have to be done for VRMS to get authorization through People Depot, which will then be useful as a model for Civic Tech Jobs and Tables.

Notes from meeting:

Tasks to do:

  • Make a feature for deleting a project (only super admins can use this feature). The below task will have to be completed until the feature is implemented.
  • Create the following labels:
    • test projects: unknown
    • test projects: yes
    • test projects: no
    • test projects: removed
    • test projects: added to sheet
    • test projects: marked as closed in sheet
  • Add "unknown" label to all dev issues
    • Add instruction text to a comment on the issue:
        - Did you create test projects in this issue?
          - [ ] Yes
          - [ ] No
        - If YES, Rename the project name by appending this name format "Test-[ISSUE NUMBER]" to the end of the project name in the following locations:
          - [ ] dev.vrms.io
          - [ ] Spreadsheet
      
  • Check if dev said yes or no
    • If "no" then add the label "test projects: no"
    • If "yes" then
      • Edit the issue (add a checkbox to the issue that says "once merged, update column E of the spreadsheet")
      • Add label: "test projects: yes"
  • Check to see that the issue number has been added to the sheet. If it has, add the "test projects: added to sheet" label
  • When issue is closed, if they have the "yes" label, confirm that the spreadsheet was updated with it marked as closed.
    • Double check closed issues that don't have the "added to sheet"

Notes:

  • When an issue is labeled as "test projects: no" then can ignore that issue. Only review the "test projects: yes" & "unknown" labeled issues
    • Issues with the following labels test projects: "yes" "no" and "unknown" are the only exclusive labels, other labels are to be added on top of these labels.
    • Can add additional labels as needed (e.g., "yes", "added to sheet", "marked as closed in sheet")

Issues to discuss:

  • Re: Vrms client terraform migration incubator#29 & Vrms client terraform migration incubator#29
    • After speaking with the team about this last week, our developer Angela Lee volunteered to take on this issue. She has experience with AWS and Terraform, and is excited to take on this challenge. Currently, she is taking a look at the linked issue & PR above, while also checking out HUU's repo to see if they have related issues. She plans to attend the November 13th DevOps CoP meeting to get more clarification about next steps.
    • Questions:
      • Who is the developer our team should collaborate with to get them up to speed?
        • Previously, you mentioned that there might be someone at Home Unite Us who could help out. Is this Tyler Thome) who is HUU Tech Lead and has worked on some related PRs recently..
        • You also mentioned there might be someone who recently joined the DevOps team that has a lot of experience with AWS and will be taking on these issues terraform issues.
  • EPIC: Create issues to Update Project Profile: VRMS website#7407
    • Looks like there was not an issue created for changes to Trillium's profile.
    • Will there be updates for other team members or just project leads?
  • Date picker issue fixed, PR merged. update question and date picker #1804 Plan is to rebuild Dev & PROD with these changes
  • Updates on User Permission progress - everything is complete, with the exception of final 2 issues. PRs still to be reviewed/merged by Trillium.

  • Trillium (optional)

Issues to discuss:

  • Plan to post open dev role next week - will be looking to onboard in January, but can post ahead. Previously took a vote and the team opted out of meeting during Thanksgiving Week, meaning that next Monday (Nov 18th) may be our last meeting for the year (i.e., likely no team meeting following onboarding call on 19th of November).
  • Re: Terraform - Angela went to the DevOps meeting. Her update is as follows:
    • "The team asked me to make minor changes to Tyson's branch and push them up. They’d like to review the GitHub Action errors and troubleshoot from there. Later in the meeting, after a discussion between Bonnie and the leads, they agreed to take this issue back to Ops and put it in the icebox. There’s no harm in proceeding with the trigger."
      • Asked Angela to post a comment on the PR with this status update.
      • Mentioned that the team agreed to take this issue(Assist with migrating deployment to Terraform #1497) back to Ops and put it in the icebox.
        • Question: Should we place this issue in the icebox on the VRMS project board and un-assign Angela & other assignees?
  • Trillium out this week - have sent a prioritized list of tasks / knowledge transfer. Requested rebuild of PROD. Plan to discuss during next Monday's call.
  • Team to reference for Accomplishments Epic?

Notes from meeting:

  • Re: Open Dev Role:
    • Create a new issue. Within the main issue, you should have a copy of the draft of the issue.
    • Post the open role after the 19th
  • Re: Terraform:
    • Angela should do a commit to refresh the PR, as this will aid in finding out why it is failing and provide feedback
    • The Ops team will go in and place this issue (Assist with migrating deployment to Terraform #1497) in the icebox, and un-assign users from the issue
    • Angela does not need to do anything with this issue in particular, just the PR. Recommend working independently as opposed to partnering with someone.
  • Re: Trillium:
    • Potentially create an open role for Co-Lead Developer or Lead developer after discussing with Trillium. Post this role before Jan 6.
  • Re: Accomplishments Epic:
    • Check out Civic Tech Jobs as a reference.

Issues to discuss:

  • Trillium - met for a 1:1 call yesterday. Plans to catch up on tasks during HfLA December break. Will check in about co-lead role in January. Plan to meet for additional 1:1 meetings during break to work together and observe progress.

  • Terraform - PR changed to a draft. Will be used as a reference but plan to rewrite it from scratch to ensure long-term maintainability and scalability. Ops team plans to document the new PR thoroughly, enabling future teams to implement similar tasks independently. ETA of mid-January for the new PR & documentation according to Angela. Gathering additional information.
