Upcoming sprintBacklog Grooming Sprint 111

Release: 

  • 3.4.1 patch release on a performance bug on 10th of October (Release Notes)
  • 3.5 release scheduled for the end of November

Team statshttps://openlmis.atlassian.net/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=12504

Velocity: Context: Includes all four teams.  Team performance is impacted by manual testing, regression testing began in Sprint 105, released 3.4 in Sprint 106.

Key Challenges

  • Time and effort to release still takes up a lot of time. 
  • Key staff were out or unavailable which reduced velocity

What will be in 3.5, check out the Living Product Roadmap and see the following details

  • Reporting workstream (can track work here)
    • Single Sign on
    • Metrics defined (goal is to get metrics created to populate 12 reports) 
    • Enhancements to superset will most likely be completed by 3.6
  • Integrations workstream
    • mCSD for facility information (Interface - Facility Lists using Global Standards w/ mCSD)
      • Use case 1: OpenLMIS serving mCSD Locations (Care Service Update Provider)

      • Use case 2: OpenLMIS as a consumer of mCSD Locations (Care Service Update Consumer)

    • Potentially DHIS2 integration - current high-level plan, here. Detailed plan and specification is still in development and may be pushed to 3.6 more likely.
  • Feature workstream

       remaining columns to pull from stock cards.
    • May have part of Splitting Configuring of products list for supply Partners completed.
    • May start on Shipment File Import but still pending analysis.
    • Business analysis is started for the notification epics. May not be implemented till 3.6.
  • Architecture workstream
    • Improvements in integrated testing so we can release faster (reduce manual testing). We will have the pattern established and potentially integrated tests for the Requisition Service.

Josh Zamor (15 min)

Global Fund is supporting the DHIS2 work in Malawi. Currently the team is defining the KPIs. Would like to know what indicators the Global team is working on? Would like to facilitate DHIS2 interoperability and is this inline with the approach the global team is doing? What are the timelines for Global efforts

  • Visualize consumption trends against ?

Josh:

  • Malawi Request:
  • Overall Design: DHIS2 Integration Software Requirements Specification (under Approach)
    • Using FHIR to communicate with a facility registry
    • Still some elements that would require manual entry (in the current design)
      • Products, Programs, Processing Periods
    • Need to review and address Decision Points defined in spec

Nuran:

  • Will visualizations happen in DHIS2?
  • Will mockups be created for those visualizations?
  • Josh - We have not scoped visualizations as part of this work
  • Mary Jo - Country implementers are likely more responsible for DHIS2 visualizations
    • Unless there is a core set that the community decides should be "included" in some fashion
    • Tanzania already has some DHIS visualizations that might be generally helpful

Mary Jo:

  • Timelines - Planning on working on DHIS2 integration as part of the 3.6 release
  • Will keep the PC up-to-date on the current schedule for this work

Ticket includes proposed UI as attachment.

Upload screens for csv file uploads in OpenLMIS

Built-in importing for all entities except for facilities

InSTEDD for facilities

Mary Jo: Hoping that this can be included in the 3.6 release. Implementers are looking for this tool to facilitate the initial system setup.

Sebastian: Are we planning to use the Ref Data Seed Tool or the Ref Data Services?

  • Josh - these are the same thing (or different aspects of the same thing)
  • Ashraf - Epic details approach. Can discuss with Sebastian on technical details.
  • Sebastian: 
    1. Ref Data Seeding tool requires mapping files but those are not able to be uploaded along with the import file
    2. Some entities must be provided with other entities (eg, orderables also require program orderables). The mockups don't seem to support this
