    1. on track Ongoing Partner Support: Maintain resources capacity to collaborate with partners on feature requests and technical/design consultations and establish a baseline to measure future improvements.

    2. on track Up-to-Date Documentation: Continuously update documentation for new features, maintaining a 100% documentation rate each quarter.

    3. complete Feature Support: Develop one high value high demand requested feature by users/partners depending on team capacity or enable partners to develop features in a common component approach.

  3. Maintain High Client Satisfaction and Effective Communications
    • Key Results:

    1. on track Consistently High Customer Satisfaction: Achieve and maintain high client/user satisfaction each quarter by dedicating a Client Success Analyst to assist users with questions and issues.

    2. on track Proactive User Communication: Provide bi-weekly updates to users on bug fixes and new features, maintaining a consistent communication cadence each quarter.

 

Team Objective:

https://bcdevex.atlassian.net/browse/DO-458

  1. work put down Key Result: Establish a bi-weekly proactive communication process for change management processes, handling of Support Requests, and planning activities. (To do, doing, and done - at a higher level specific to the product roadmap)

    1. Strategy: Regular communications of product roadmap updates to Partner Teams & CHEFS users via a deck presented/distributed at key meetings throughout the quarter.

      1. completed Tactic: PowerPoint at Architecture Forum

      2. work put down Tactic: Teams Post in “Week Notes” channel

      3. work put down Tactic: Wireframes posted on Fider

    2. work put down Strategy: Executive updates (1 per quarter per executive audience) conducted by CPO & PO.

  2. completed Key Result: Architectural Forum participation rates increase by 20% in terms of people count attending.

    1. Completed Strategy: after establishing demand, we find out why, to present a message that will matter to partners, and why we are doing it now.

    2. Work Put Down Strategy: Grant early access to new CHEFS features to “CHEFS Insiders”.

    3. work put down Strategy: Conduct award ceremony during Forum to recognize a leading partner for their contributions & impact on CHEFS users throughout the quarter. (CHEFS User Impact Awards - “CHUI Awards”).

  3. work put down Key Result: Receive monthly feedback from clients that they feel improvements in communications (before and after)

    1. Strategy: Weeknotes of things that others would care about.

      1. Audience 1: Partner Teams and CHEFS users

        1. (Tactic) Deliverable: (example) We have an updated instruction page for the new CHEFS Role that was added (Submission Reviewer, Read-only reviewer role “Submission Approver”, Write permission reviewer role “Submission Reviewer“)

      2. Audience 2: Executive levels that endorse the use of CHEFS for their Ministries

        1. (Tactic) Deliverable: Executive Level messaging, clarifying alignment to the technology strategies of each Ministry

    2. Strategy: Blogging about form design principles

      1. links to how to documents for users of CHEFS (for designers)

      2. links to how this relates to our roadmap (for executive)

completed Team Objective: https://bcdevex.atlassian.net/browse/DO-459

  1. Key Result: Ratify a committed roadmap & project plan (including sequencing & dependencies) for critical CHEFS technology architecture components.

    1. completed Strategy: Decoupling of Components for improving resilience of CHEFS system integrations

      1. completed Tactic: POC Tenant strategy - wireframes (decoupling user management from CHEFS)

      2. Completed Tactic: POC on the message queue / event streaming to replace the hard coding webhook integration chefs is currently doing

  2. in progress Key Result: Demonstrate value from POCs as measured by documented lessons learned:

    1. Strategy: can manage users and roles outside of CHEFS,

    2. Strategy: CHEFS would trust a token that is not a CHEFS audience “aud” variable in the JWT

    3. in progress Strategy: can distribute data on a tenant basis through the message queue, only the tenant can read the data. (tenant = the registered app, which displays to the users)

Team Objective: https://bcdevex.atlassian.net/browse/DO-460

  1. Key Result: Effect a measurable reduction in the level of technical knowledge and expertise required by CHEFS users to achieve their project/product goals.

    1. work put down Strategy: Remove the required sequence of steps that are not actually necessary for someone to rapidly prototype a new form.

      1. Tactic: switch to a different form builder that skips the settings step and let you edit the label of the component in context. (Other than changing the label, and sometimes not even that, the default form component settings are often all that is needed)

      2. Tactic: Adding default values to all required fields

    2. Strategy: Fix the visibility of system status, user control and freedom to avoid mistaken actions, flexibility and efficiency of use

      1. in progress Tactic: Heuristic evaluation to inform the redesign

  2. Key Result: Collect new user & low-complexity form maintainer effort & satisfaction metrics.

    1. work put down Strategy: Controlled experiment - new users are asked to translate a specific PDF file into a CHEFS form:

      1. in Progress with FormsGPT

      2. without FormsGPT

      3. with CHEFS HelpBot (ie. Retrieval Augmented Generation)

      4. without CHEFS HelpBot

    2. in progress Strategy: Ask power users to provide feedback on efficacy of new features.

complete Team Objective: https://bcdevex.atlassian.net/browse/DO-461

  1. complete Key Result: Increased adoption and use of CHEFS API & Custom Components as measured by the Form Profile declaration and product telemetry.

    1. complete Strategy: Add new custom components (eg. mapping, look for more in FIDER)

    2. work put down Strategy: Improved documentation about the API usage

      1. Tactic: update the API spec, make a postman collection,

      2. Tactic: make the API Key creation step great

  2. work put down Key Result: Increased uptake of CHEFS for data and reporting use-cases as measured by the Form Profile declaration and product telemetry.

    1. Strategy: Enhanced API capabilities

    2. Strategy: add logging to see who is using the API

    3. Strategy: easier way to achieve a basic analytics function

    4. Strategy: shutdown/sunset the manual excel export with the 4 templates, in place of the excel power query integration.

  3. work put down Key Result: Identify the value of Dev and Test form classes via product telemetry.

  4. work put down Key Result: Rebuild CHEFS Teams' in-product (Admin) dashboard metrics (formerly available through Metabase) in order to surface various counts and percentages via product telemetry (usage/utilization/engagement etc)

    1. Strategy: query of component type use

    2. Strategy: query of Javascript usage

    3. Strategy: autocomplete form profile Ministry
