IT dictionary or What? Where? Where? Part 2

In the first part of the article, I listed and explained the words that Wrike developers and managers use in their daily communication. Both verbally and in writing. But there was still a series of words from the same categories. Knowing the meanings of these words helps colleagues understand each other more easily.

Scrum terminology

Dod

From English Definition of Done (literally - readiness criteria ) - a list of requirements by which it can be considered that the goal is completed. For example, a set of tasks that must be completed by a specific date.



Examples of use:

• “The goal had unclear results”
• “We did not note the presence or absence of tests in the dodas”
• “What are the benefits of this goal?”

Milestone

From English milestone (literally - a milestone ) - the planned date for the completion of work on selected tasks. Putting such "dates" allows you to stay on schedule and track the process of work and understanding of the achievement of goals.



Examples of use:

• “We don’t run around after planning, we still need to set up the milestones”
• “Milestone was on this task yesterday, how much more time is needed for revision?”
• “So, go over the milestones, fine, let's go at a good pace”

Story

From English story (literally - history ) - the root task with a description of the requirements for development, it contains sub-tasks assigned to developers of different positions. This is the entry point when developing any functionality.



Examples of use:

• “Next week's release, we definitely need to finish this side”
• “I didn’t find in the store a description of how the backend should work”
• “Please update, please, after the last discussion”

Facilitator

From English facilitator (literally - coordinator ) - a person taking on the responsibilities of the leader. It provides successful communication within the team, tries to simplify communication and creates understanding between all team members. The term can be used as a noun, and as an adjective, and as a verb.



Examples of use:

• “I will add on myself”

Baga

From English bug (literally - a bug ) - an error in the code, a problem, a flaw. The word has long been in the vocabulary of developers, but it is interesting how the form of the term changes. Tracing paper “bug” has turned into a feminine word - “bug”. In this form, alignment in sentences is simpler. And if the error or the problem is very small, then this is bagul.



Examples of use:

• “We still did not deal with that bug”
• “I found one baguette there, look, please.”
• “Can we take a task with that bug into this sprint?”

Crutch

Temporary "backup" in the code, which leads to the desired result, but the solution itself is ideologically incorrect.

Do you think it would be easier for beginners if, upon entering work, they were given a transcript of unfamiliar terms that hit the very first day of work? Do such transcripts give clarity or only confuse more? Share your opinion in the comments.
