LAB 7: CREATE AND CUSTOMIZE ISSUE BOARDS

A. View and customize project-level issue boards

1. Navigate to your Family Budget Calculator project in the Software > Core subgroup.
2. In the left pane, click Issues > Boards.
3. Note the default Development board contains only 2 lists: issues with the status Open and issues with the status Closed.
4. Modify the default project board by adding a new list: in the top right corner, click Create list.
5. The new list will be scoped by issue label. Ensure the Label radio button is selected in the Scope section of the list configuration pane.
6. Open the Value drop-down, and select Status::WIP.
7. Click Add to board.
8. Add another new list to the default project board: in the top right corner, click Create list.
9. The new list will be scoped by issue label. Ensure the Label radio button is selected in the Scope section of the list configuration pane.
10. Open the Value drop-down, and select Status::Done.
11. Click Add to board.
12. Your Development board should now include the new lists Status::WIP and Status::Done along with the default lists Open and Closed.
13. Note the Create service infrastructure issue in the Open list. Use your mouse to drag the Create service infrastructure issue into the Status::WIP list.
14. Click into the Create service infrastructure issue card by clicking directly on the issue’s title. Note the Status::WIP label was automatically applied to that issue when you dragged it to a new list.
15. On the issue details page, click the Edit button next to Labels in the metadata pane.
16. Select the Status::Done label, and click away from the metadata pane to apply the label.
17. Return to Issues > Boards using the left pane.
18. Note the Create service infrastructure issue now appears in the Status::Done list.

B. Manage group-level issue boards

1. Boards can also be viewed and managed at the group level. Using the breadcrumbs at the top of the page, navigate to your top level DigiBit Technologies group.
2. In the left pane, click Issues > Boards.
3. Observe a similar default Development board with Open and Closed lists. This group-level issue board shows all issues across the group’s subgroups and projects.
4. At the top of the page, click the dropdown next to Group by and select Epic.
5. The board view should refresh and show a swimlane view of lists grouped by epic.
6. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and expand Issues with no epic assigned.
7. Use your mouse to drag the Identify tuning parameters to reduce performance bottlenecks issue into your Back-end services epic.
8. Hover your mouse over the Back-end services heading. Click the Go to epic link from the details box that appears.
9. Verify your Identify tuning parameters to reduce performance bottlenecks issue is part of the Back-end services epic.

C. Create a new issue board

1. In the left pane, click Issues > Boards.

2. At the top of the page, click the Development dropdown to access the Switch board menu.

   • Second list shows issues with the Status::WIP label
   • Third list shows issues in the Back-end services deployed milestone

10. Refresh the browser tab that contains your new board.

12. Title the issue Update family budget app personas

13. Select Family Budget Calculator as the project for the issue to belong to.

15. An issue details pane should appear on the right side of the page. Assign the issue to your training user if it is not already assigned. Add an additional Status::Open label to the issue.

16. Click the X in the top right corner to close out of the issue details pane.

17. Click the diagonal arrows in the top right of the page to enter Focus mode. The rest of the Denomas navigation UI is now hidden, allowing you to focus on issues in the board.
