How do we create a connected community that can learn and improve together?

• Sharing our experiences is an important piece of this puzzle, and Weeknotes are an accessible way to achieve this

• The Weeknotes goal is to share lessons learned and product updates using a consistent and easy-to-scan template every two weeks

• They are a first step to working in an open way that can enhance learning and continuous improvement

Creating a connected community that can learn and improve together  

Please share your comments and thoughts on the work below and how we can enhance the Weeknotes experience. We are listening. 

Has been fixed  

• Fixed a bug where forms closed too early when using the scheduling feature, ensuring they now close as planned.  
  - You can find the details in our TechDocs Form Schedule and Reminder notification 

• Fixed a security issue to meet safety guidelines, ensuring the system aligns with STRA and SoAR standards. 
  - You can learn more in the JIRA ticket Fixing the timing of the scheduler and the messaging 

New to the user  

• CHEFS is introducing a new service to give form owners real-time updates and insights about their forms and submissions. 
  - You can find the details in our TechDocs CHEFS Event Stream Service 

• The new map tool is now in production! It allows you to place pins, draw circles, or outline areas to indicate locations or gather geographic information. 
  - For more information, please refer to the current documentation on our TechDocs Map Component 

Has been improved 

• The CHEFS team completed the Scrum Inc. Scrum at Scale Practitioner certificate to empower the team to work more efficiently, communicate better, scale Agile effectively, and deliver improved results. 

• We are developing automated tests known as Cypress scripts to ensure our form management features function smoothly and reliably. 

Future focus 

• We are designing a Team Manager tool through collaborative design workshops to meet everyone's needs.  
  - You can learn more in the JIRA ticket Socialize and adjust design for 'Team Manager' 

• We are improving our internal team processes by implementing a service design approach, beginning with Product Release reviews. We are holding workshops that promote teamwork and encourage collaborative problem-solving. These workshops' strong participation and positive feedback have fostered a more open and inclusive culture, making our team more efficient. As a result, we are better positioned to deliver improved products and greater value to our users. 

Thank you for Collaborating
