Using Jira to understand current work items
===========================================

This document has been created to give further insight into the work in
progress towards the Hyperledger Fabric v1 architecture based on the
community roadmap. The requirements for the roadmap are being tracked in
`Jira <https://jira.hyperledger.org/>`__.

It was determined to organize in sprints to better track and show a
prioritized order of items to be implemented based on feedback received.
We’ve done this via boards. To see these boards and the priorities click
on **Boards** -> **Manage Boards**:

Now on the left side of the screen click on **All boards**:

   Jira boards

On this page you will see all the public (and restricted) boards that
have been created. If you want to see the items with current sprint
focus, click on the boards where the column labeled **Visibility** is
**All Users** and the column **Board type** is labeled **Scrum**. For
example the **Board Name** Consensus:

When you click on Consensus under **Board name** you will be directed to
a page that contains the following columns:

   Jira boards

The meanings to these columns are as follows:

-  Backlog – list of items slated for the current sprint (sprints are
   defined in 2 week iterations), but are not currently in progress
-  In progress – items currently being worked by someone in the
   community.
-  In Review – items waiting to be reviewed and merged in Gerrit
-  Done – items merged and complete in the sprint.

If you want to see all items in the backlog for a given feature set,
click on the stacked rows on the left navigation of the screen:

   :alt: Jira boards

   Jira boards

This shows you items slated for the current sprint at the top, and all
items in the backlog at the bottom. Items are listed in priority order.

If there is an item you are interested in working on, want more
information or have questions, or if there is an item that you feel
needs to be in higher priority, please add comments directly to the Jira
item. All feedback and help is very much appreciated.
