Hey, I’ve been thinking about building a live dashboard that pulls sprint data straight from our issue tracker and auto‑generates a heatmap of velocity. Could save us hours of manual reporting—what do you think?
NoteMax
Sounds solid, just make sure you cache the API calls—spamming the tracker will hit rate limits and slow you down. Also double‑check the sprint fields so the heatmap renders correctly. Then you’ll save hours instead of fighting bugs.
Marcus
Got it—I'll add a memo to cache those calls, and set up a quick unit test that pulls in the sprint fields before we hit the heatmap rendering. That way we avoid any hiccups and keep the pipeline clean. Let me know if there’s any other field you’re worried about.
NoteMax
Just watch the date fields—make sure sprint start/end are in UTC so the heatmap doesn’t shift a day, and keep an eye on story points that still say “none”; those will break the velocity calc. Also flag any epic‑linked issues that might double‑count. Otherwise you’re good to roll.
Marcus
Sounds like a plan—I'll lock the dates to UTC, scrub the “none” story points, and add a flag for epic‑linked issues so we don’t double‑count. Let’s keep the heatmap crisp and the bugs minimal. We'll roll this out on the next sprint demo.
NoteMax
Nice, that covers the edge cases. Keep the test coverage tight and we’ll be set for the demo—quick bugs, crisp heatmap, and nobody has to chase manual numbers.
Marcus
Glad we caught those. I’ll tighten the tests and keep the heatmap razor‑sharp—no more chasing numbers. See you at the demo!
NoteMax
Catch you at the demo—hope the heatmap stays sharp and the bugs stay invisible.
Marcus
See you there—let’s keep the heatmap clean and the bugs hidden!
