 === Log in and check what is there === === Log in and check what is there ===
-  - Log in to JIRA (scrum.met.no) using the same user-name and password that you use for svn access (This is the LDAP password at met.no, external users have an external LDAP password). +  - In github: Go to the "issues" tab. Sort by milestones or labels to see the ones you are interested in 
-  - Verify that you can go to "manage dashboards" and search for dashboards created by Alf Grini. You should find the NorESM default dashboard. +  
-  - Add the NorESM default dashboard as a favourite. +
-  - The dashboards shows the epics (large tasks we are supposed to solve for the next version) together with some other information. It the NorESM "homepage" at JIRA. +
-  - Make sure you can go to agile ==> manage boards and find the NorESM scrum board. **This board is shared between Oslo and Bergen, and it is our way of communicating what we are working with right now.** +
-  - Note that the scrum board can be filtered by components, so it is easy to look at only MICOM issues or only cam-oslo issues. +
 ===Create issues  === ===Create issues  ===
   - Go to "create issue". Note that in NorESM, the issues are different **components**. Make sure you select the right component for your issue.   - Go to "create issue". Note that in NorESM, the issues are different **components**. Make sure you select the right component for your issue.
   - Also add other information to the issue as label (can be e.g. be a project-name). Adding Multiple labels is OK.   - Also add other information to the issue as label (can be e.g. be a project-name). Adding Multiple labels is OK.

-===Issue type definition for NorESM === 
-An issue can be created as one of several types. In NorESM we will use the following definitions:  
- 
-  - EPIC: A task which demands some man-months. For example in the EVA-project, a task is an epic. An epic consists of several stories. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AGILE/Adding+an+Issue+to+an+Epic 
-  - STORY: A task which demands a couple of man-weeks. Typically the sub-tasks in EVA are stories. 
-  - SUB-TASK: A story will have several sub-tasks. They are created inside the story (open the issue ==> more ==> create sub-task). The tasks will last some man-days and it is the tasks which will be added to the sprints. 
-  - TASK: A "task" should be created if it is just a stand-alone task which is not connected to any story. For example "follow up with met.no IT department on new svn-users". A task can have sub-tasks, but if the collection of sub-tasks together for a larger piece of work, it is better to create a "STORY" and not use "TASK". 
- 
-Take the example of the EVA project proposal: "Task 2.1 Ocean dynamical core development" is an epic. It consists of several stories. One story is "2.1.2: Introduce a hybrid layered framework to facilitate higher vertical resolution in the surface boundary layer". This story should be splitted into several work-tasks. Each of the tasks should be approx 1-2 man-days. Examples of tasks can be "make program compile with gfortran", "create 1d test-program" etc. Those tasks should be added the the appropriate sprint. 
- 
-Note that sub-taks of a story can not be added independently to a sprint. The whole story will have to be included. (Sub-tasks do not show in plan-mode). However, when the story has been added, the sub-tasks show up in work-mode: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/85897/how-do-you-plan-subtasks-into-separate-sprints

-===Planning a sprint === 
-   - Go to "agile --> NorESM Board" 
-   - Choose "plan" at the upper right 
-   - The epics are displayed next to the list of issues 
-   - If you can not see the list of epics, choose tools (wheel in upper right corner and show/hide epics) 
-   - To display only stories which are members of an epic, click on an epic 
-   - To make a story a member of an epic, drag the story to the epic. 
-   - To make a story a member of a sprint, drag the story into the sprint. 
-    
  
- +===Which issues should we add to different milestones ===
-===Which issues should we add to the scrum board ===+
   - Find out together with your team which issues are most important   - Find out together with your team which issues are most important
-  - Try to compose a sprint so that the product (NorESM) is more or less usable at the end of the sprint. +  - Add the issue to the appropriate milestone
-  - If a task requires more than 3 days of work, it should probably be splitted into sub-tasks. Create an story (or epic) and convert the issues into sub-tasks of the story. Go to issue, more actions and "convert to sub-task".+
  
 ===Working === ===Working ===
-  - Every other week, we will create a new "sprint". That means that the scrum board will be refreshed. (see below) +  - When you want to start working on something you should always do something which is **included in a milestone**. Those are the tasks that the team has defined as most important.
-  - When you want to start working on something you should always do something which is **in the sprint**. Those are the tasks that the team has defined as most important.+
   - Go to the task and choose "assign" and "assign to me".   - Go to the task and choose "assign" and "assign to me".
-  - Also in the task go to "more actions" and "start progress". You can also just drag the task over in the "in progress" column in the scrum board 
-  - Drag the issue to the "resolved" column when the problem is solved. 
-  - You the board to see what your collegues are working on. Comment on their issues! 
- 
  
 ===Connection to version control system === ===Connection to version control system ===
-  - When the task is finished, there should always be a comment saying which changeset in the version control system which solved the problem. For example if I solve task "NE-10", I should comment in JIRA "this task was solved by svn changeset nn".  +  - Mention the task when you commit the fix. For example git commit -m "metno/noresm#346: I did something clever" will link the changeset to the right issue in github.
-  - In svn, I should commit with a comment mentioning the issue, something like "svn commit -m "solved issue NE-10 by removing possible divide-by-zero"" +
-  - If the commit-message is correct, the code-changes needed to solve the issue is shown in a tab next to "comments", "work log" etc. +
- +
-=== Searching for issues === +
- +
-JIRA has a very powerful search-functionality. This is helpful to find the issues you want. For example, in the issues ==> search for issues menu, you can perform searches like "project=NorESM and type=epic and status=resolved" to find all the epics we have completed. +
- +
-The list of keywords which can be used in a search can be found here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Advanced+Searching#AdvancedSearching-field +
- +
-=== Using JIRA to monitor project progress === +
- +
-For each large task or project, we have created an epic. These are shown on the noresm **dashboard** (see above).+
  
-If you want to monitor the progress of an epic, you have to  
  
-  * Go to agile ==> noresmboard 
-  * select "report" (upper right corner) 
-  * select "epic report" (upper left corner) 
-  * select the epic you are interested in (upper left corner)
