Version 2 Project Workflow

1

The Breakdown

Matt's proposed workflow, focusing on maximizing collaboration on a Wordpress-based project.

  • Sketches are produced by the Design team, and are then turned into coded wireframes.
  • The wireframing is inspected for quality before being sent into the Engineering team.
  • The Engineering team integrates the received wireframes into the Wordpress app.
  • While the wireframes are integrated, the Design and Web teams go on to work on styling the wireframes.
  • Using Advanced Custom Fields with Custom Post Types on Wordpress we can create re-usable layouts and elements within a page
  • The newly created pages are then pushed up to the staging environment
  • The team responsible for creating content can fill in the data through the staging environment
  • During all of this, the styling will be completed, and tested for quality on different devices
  • Once styles have passed quality assurance, they are integrated with the completed content and pages
  • A final comprehensive quality assurance check is performed, upon completion the newly completed website is made live!!!

Summary of technical setup for Downtown Streets Team's Wordpress site.

11am Engineering Scrum

The Engineering team hit the ground running with a detailed scrum in which the biggest tasks of the day were divided up amongst the team - using the handy Chwazi app for those indecisive moments.

Tasks

  • Jordan will be setting up the local development environment.

  • Boris is in charge of backing up the current production site, and setting up a staging server.

  • Chris and Jayd are tasked with integrating the static content provided by the Design and Web team into the Wordpress app.

  • Zoran will be performing research on the best fit for an event plugin for volunteer management, and will be integrating it into the app.

  • Erik will write the launch script, which will be used near the end of Wired to set the site up for production.

Plan of Attack

  • The Design team will produce sketches and coded wireframes.

  • After the wireframes have been QA'd, they are then integrated into Wordpress via ACF (Advanced Custom Templates). The design and web team will then continue to work on the styling.

  • Once styling has been polished and QA'd, the Engineering team will then integrate the finished styles into the Wordpress application, and begin moving towards deploying the site.
