Pipeline-Authoring SIG Update

[Marky Jackson]

Hello Friends!

I wanted to give an update on what the fine folks in the Pipeline-Authoring SIG have been up to.

We have been meeting regularly to define personas to help better us create the SIG roadmap. We meet twice a week, once on Thursday for the EMEA timezone and once on Friday for the US timezone. Meeting notes can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EhWoBplGl4M8bHz0uuP-iOynPGuONjcz4enQm8sDyUE/edit# and the calendar, if you would like to attend, is here: Event Calendar - Jenkinsjenkins.io › event-calendar. The previous recording of the meetings are located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz_kPpb9C1w&list=PLN7ajX_VdyaOKKLBXek6iG8wTS24Ac7Y3

Personas are fictional characters, which we are creating based upon our research to represent the different user types that might use Jenkins pipelines.

Creating personas can help us step out of ourselves. It can help us to recognize that different people have different needs and expectations, and it can also help us to identify with the user we are building the roadmap for. Personas make the task at hand less complicated, they guide our ideation processes, and they can help us to achieve the goal of creating a good user experience for our target user group.

A lot of that work can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CdyzJwt50Wk3uUNsLMl2d4w2MGYss-phqet0s-KjbEs/edit

The idea is to map the personas to a maturity model and then map the maturity model to the actual documentation. That maturity model can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ByzWlPU0j1qM_gqspJppkNKkR5ZVLWlB/view

We have a lot of work to do and could use your help. If you would love to join us check out the meeting link. If you would like to check out the personas and give feedback, also check out the link.

Thanks kindly, all!
