Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agile iterative locking, and particularly to a locking method, an interaction method and a system for agile iterative sprints. Background Art

[0002] In the process of project management, the collaboration between the product manager and the R & D team is closely related to the formulation and execution of the iterative plan; changes in the iterative scope of different items in the iterative plan, that is, the iterative planning order, item migration in or out, and adjustment of item priorities, may occur in the initial stage of the iteration or even during the dynamic process of the iteration; such changes in the iterative scope of different items stem from various factors, such as new requirements temporarily introduced by the product manager, requirement elimination by the R & D team based on actual feasibility assessment, and new technical debt optimization tasks added by R & D personnel, etc.

[0003] Currently, for the existing iterative locking methods, for the confirmation of the iterative scope of different items in the iterative plan, after relevant personnel reach a consensus at the iterative plan meeting, the management tool is used for corresponding adjustments, and finally the iterative scope is locked; this process often has a lag, that is, there may be requirements for changes after the meeting, resulting in differences between the content recorded in the meeting minutes and the finally determined iterative scope in the management tool and being difficult to trace; for example, the meeting is held on Wednesday, but there are still several days until the start of the next iteration week, and during this period, new urgent requirements are inserted, so the final confirmation of the iterative scope and the tool adjustment are not completed until Friday. This mode lacks a clearly defined iterative scope locking time point: it not only affects the coherence and efficiency of iterative management, but also brings challenges to subsequent progress tracking and responsibility tracing back.

[0004] In summary, although the existing iterative locking methods can lock the iterative scope and ensure the project progresses as planned, they have significant defects in practice. On the one hand, it fails to effectively solve the contradiction between the dynamics of item content changes in the iteration and the locking of the iterative scope, resulting in the lack of sufficient rigidity and traceability in the execution of the iterative plan; on the other hand, due to the time lag caused by manual operations, the final confirmation of the iterative scope often lags behind the actual situation, weakening the timeliness and accuracy of iterative management. Therefore, exploring a more efficient, automated and powerful iterative locking method with strong tracing back ability has become the key to improving project management efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention introduces a locking method for agile iteration sprint, comprising the following steps: S1: Obtain configuration information of the target iteration; the configuration information includes the lock switch status, lock mode, lock time, lock item type, lock protection scope, and lock whitelist and notification list; S2: Process the target iteration according to the configuration information to obtain a locked iteration or an unlocked iteration.

[0026] Specifically, when the locked switch state in the configuration information is locked on, the target iteration enters the lock preparation state; then according to the locking method, time range, event type and protection scope, the locking rules of the target iteration are further determined to obtain the locked iteration; Specifically, when the locked switch state in the configuration information is locked off, the target iteration does not need to be locked, and an unlocked iteration is obtained.

[0027] Specifically, the configuration information also includes a lock whitelist and a notification list. When the target iteration is locked, that is, the locked iteration is obtained, the lock whitelist in the configuration information can allow people in the whitelist to make changes to the locked iteration, and send emails to notify people in the notification list in the configuration information.

[0028] This embodiment proposes a locking method for agile iteration sprint, which can lock or unlock the target iteration by acquiring the lock switch state, lock mode, lock time, lock item type, lock protection scope, lock whitelist and notification list configured for the target iteration, and obtain a locked iteration or unlocked iteration; the iterative item type and protection scope (planning order, item movement in or out, and item priority) in the target iteration can be clarified, effectively resolving the contradiction between the dynamic nature of item content changes and iteration scope locking, and achieving unified management requirements; it can improve the consistency and efficiency of iteration management, and facilitate subsequent progress tracking and responsibility backtracking.

[0029] In this embodiment, the process of obtaining the configuration information of the target iteration in step S1 includes: Receiving the configuration operation of a fixed user on the iteration locking configuration page; Based on the configuration operation on the iteration locking configuration page, obtaining the configuration information of the target iteration; The configuration operation includes configuring the switch state of locking, the locking method, the locking time, the type of locked matters, the locking protection scope, as well as the locking whitelist and notification list.

[0030] Specifically, the switch state of locking includes locking on and locking off; when the switch state of configured locking is locking on, subsequent configurations are performed on the locking method, the locking time, the type of locked matters, the locking protection scope, the locking whitelist and the notification list; when the switch state of configured locking is locking off, no subsequent configuration operation is required, and it is default that the target iteration is not locked.

[0031] Specifically, the locking method includes manual locking and automatic locking; when the configured locking method is manual locking, the range of the locking time is obtained through the time point of configuring the locking method; when the configured locking method is automatic locking, the locking time is further configured to determine a fixed locking time range.

[0032] Specifically, the type of locked matters includes requirements, tasks and defects; when configuring the type of locked matters, one or more types of locked matters can be configured separately; the locking protection scope includes the iteration planning order, the moving in or out of matters, and the priority of matters; when configuring the locking protection scope, one or more locking protection scopes can be configured separately.

[0033] Specifically, both the locking whitelist and the notification list can be configured with one or more persons.

[0034] Based on the obtaining process of step S1 above, this embodiment introduces an iteration locking configuration page and corresponding configuration operations, which are specifically as follows: As Figure 2 shown, the iteration locking configuration page is divided into four configuration modules, namely the iteration locking method module, the iteration locked matter type module, the iteration locking protection scope module and the iteration lock period operation module; each module is correspondingly provided with a check box and corresponding checked content, a selection box and corresponding selected content, and a filling box, further facilitating the configuration operation of fixed users; Specifically, the iteration locking method module is used for fixed users to perform corresponding configurations on the switch state of locking, the locking method and the locking time; Among them, if the check boxes (manual locking and automatic locking) in the iterative locking mode module are not checked at all, it is considered that the iterative locking is not enabled, and the switch state of the iteration is locked off; if it is enabled, one of manual locking and automatic locking can be selected. If manual locking is checked, the user can lock the iteration at any time by clicking the button on the iteration page to lock or unlock the iteration; among them, the buttons for locking and unlocking the iteration are not displayed in Figure 2 it. If automatic locking is checked, the system locks the iteration within a specific time period according to the rules. The locked time period can be determined by setting the number of days to increase or decrease through the two basic attributes of the iteration start time and the iteration end time, and supports specific time values down to hours, minutes, and seconds.

[0035] Specifically, the iterative locking matter type module is used to enable the user to configure the locked matter types; this configuration supports distinguishing different to-do matter types in the iteration. For example, if there are requirements, tasks, and defects in the iteration at the same time, it is possible to specify which matters are locked and these matters cannot be operated in the iteration; it can be seen from Figure 2 it that the matter types locked this time are the contents of requirements and defects, and the contents of the matter type of tasks are not locked.

[0036] Specifically, the iterative locking protection scope module is used to enable the user to configure the locked protection scope; the protection scope means that some operations on the locked iteration will be restricted, and these restrictions include restricting the iterative planning order, restricting the change of the "belonging iteration" information (that is, restricting the movement of matters into or out of the iteration), and restricting the adjustment of the priority of matters within the iteration. These restricted behavior options and the protection scope work together with the locked matter types to achieve a controllable purpose. Among them, the locking of the iterative planning order means that in the requirement list in the iteration, the upper and lower order of the requirements can no longer be adjusted, that is, the order of all requirements is solidified, and R & D can develop from top to bottom according to the arrangement order of the requirements in the list; the locking of the belonging iteration means that requirements cannot be added or removed within the iteration, and the number of iterative requirements no longer changes; the locking of the matter priority means that the priority field representing the importance of each single requirement (usually the enumerated value examples are high, medium, and low) can no longer be changed.

[0037] Specifically, the iterative lock period operation module is used to enable the user to configure the locked whitelist and the notification list; this configuration supports a list of personnel on the whitelist, allowing specific personnel or roles to still operate the to-do matters within the iteration without restriction during the locked period; it supports sending an email to specific personnel or roles in the notification list to inform them that the iteration scope has changed after the whitelist personnel operate.
