Hello all,

 - I would like to propose that we apply Agile development methods as much as we can. For start we need clarity what task are the most pressing ones.

 1) I would like to propose a Product Backlog / OIL (OpenIssue) List to priorize Issues we need to work on. The most Valueable item comes to the top, the least to the bottom. What Value exactly is is up to discussion.

2) I would further propose that we create a new Role - The Product Owner.

The Task of the Product owner is to look that that the Backlog is maintained. That the Team does understand the issues or Questions are clarified.

He decides in doubt on the Value of an item. He is not the one who writes the list. This is our all task.

3) If we agree on the Backlist I further suggest that we open up a Jira Issue Tracker.

We can keep the Bugzilla Bugtracker for tracking the bugs, and create Issues from it. Or we move to Jira completly.

Why do I propose the tool change? Because We can track with Jira Issues, have the Backlog and can use a Project wide Kanban board (replacing in part the Sprints from Scrum) to track Which activity has been started. Where we can create Teams.


The hope is that we can gain focus. Even build teams, where more experienced work with less experience, distribute knowledge by cooperation. And the hope is that we can guide people.

If you have Questions or did not understand something then please ask. From Agile Perspective Development is not a thing that Programmers do but a lot more people. And I would like that testers, Dokumenters and all other people who whish to work together understand what this about how it works.


However I want at the same time no one to pull out of his comfort Zone. if someone wants to stay independant, thats fine. I support that. Freedom is all we want after all.

Do you agree?
