[0002] Scrum is a widely used agile development framework. Scrum has five ceremonies. The traces of these ceremonies are currently recorded by team members, who then record the remaining estimated time of the task, and then the Scrum Master summarizes and calculates it, using manual calculations and Excel spreadsheet calculations. Manual calculations are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but sometimes there are problems with inaccurate calculations, and iterative history records are difficult to track. Although tracking with Excel spreadsheets improves the accuracy of calculations compared to manual calculations, it still requires updating the original data of the iteration every day, which is lagging and cannot synchronously display the real progress of the iteration. Moreover, as the number of team members increases, the maintenance cost of the iteration data increases, introducing a lot of duplication of work and resulting in waste. At present, there is a lack of a method for automatically generating iteration process documents for Scrum. Summary of the invention

[0005] During the iteration process, based on the timing service set up in JIRA, the iteration indicator value is calculated according to the ongoing iteration data, and the iteration process document of the iteration in Confluence is updated according to the preset cycle;
[0006] When the iteration is completed, the iteration indicator value is calculated based on the last iteration data, and the iteration process document of the iteration in Confluence is updated.
[0007] The embodiment of the present invention provides a device for generating iterative process documents in Scrum, which is used to automatically generate iterative process documents with high efficiency and good real-time performance. The device includes:

[0032] Step 103: When the iteration is completed, the iteration index value is calculated based on the last iteration data, and the iteration process document of the iteration in Confluence is updated.
[0033] In the above embodiment, the progress of iteration can be displayed in real time without the need to manually write process documents, thus realizing online and transparent information; it can effectively reduce labor input, improve work efficiency, and realize accurate and real-time tracking of iteration progress.
[0034] The main stages of Scrum include PB Grooming, iteration planning meeting, daily stand-up meeting, iteration review meeting, and iteration retrospective meeting. In the iteration process, participants include PO, Scrum Master, development, testing, etc. Figure 2The figure is a schematic diagram of the main work of each role in Scrum at each stage in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0035] In order to collect and count the data generated during the iteration process, the embodiment of the present invention is aimed at the Scrum-type JIRA project. At the beginning of the iteration, a directory page of the iteration process document is automatically created in Confluence to record the basic information of the iteration; during the iteration process, the iteration data is summarized and calculated according to a preset period, such as daily, by means of a scheduled task; when the iteration is completed, the iteration data is updated for the last time.
[0036] In one embodiment, the webhook is created in JIRA to listen to the Sprint start event.
[0037] In one embodiment, webhook is used to collect basic iteration information, including:

In a specific embodiment, when the iteration is started, that is, when the iteration is created, the iteration data is collected by webhook, and the iteration index value is calculated based on the iteration data, as shown in Table 1.
[0045] Table 1
[0046]
[0047] Based on the iteration data and iteration indicator values, create a directory page of the iteration process document for this iteration in Confluence, as shown in Table 2. Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of five sub-pages contained in the iteration directory in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0048] Table 2
[0049]
[0050]

[0064]
[0065] In the above embodiment, the auxiliary step is to configure the link between JIRA and Confluence applications. The follow-up step is to restrict the editing rights of the iteration process document page after the iteration is completed and archive it regularly.
