Boosters Work ¶

This project is intended to contain an overview of the work of the openSUSE Boosters.

Terminology

Milestones

Milestones are big things we want to achieve. Like

Rid the world of all Evil

Goals

Goals are simpler things than milestones. They are defined from the customers point of view. It can be for example something like

Destroy the One Ring so we can get rid of the Dark Lord

Stories

Stories are simple technical steps that need to be done to reach a goal. Stories can be done by real people. In this example it would be something like:

Cast the ring into a Vulcano (Frodo)

Pretend to have the One Ring to distract the Dark Lord (Aragon)

Be the backup for Frodo (Gollum)

Customers don’t really want to know all that, the important thing is that we reach the milestone (no more evil in the world).

Sprints

Sprints are the time units in which goals are achieved. If they are not achieved they are simply moved to the next sprint.
