Insiders call summary: ODK's product development process 🚀

:zap: Lightning talk by Sam (@spwoodcock)

  • Sam talked about how ODK fits into HOT's workflow with Field Mapping Tasking Manager, and how they use it to coordinate field teams.
  • How they are using Entities and their clever way of displaying icons using labels to indicate the status to the data collector: what's in progress :lock:, complete, :white_check_mark:, and failed :x:.
  • Sam's experience collaborating with the core team in designing and building the importing offline layers feature with @Nishon @Ivangayton. Check out his article to learn more!

:rocket: ODK's product development process

  • We covered our process for prioritization and what makes a good feature
  • End-to-end process for building new features such as the counter widget and offline Entities
  • Our goals and strategy for the next 6 months (our big focus is on Entities and offline support!)

:speech_balloon: Group discussion

  • At the end of the call, Insiders got to ask the core team questions about Entities, navigation and pagination in Central, what challenging bugs :beetle: the QA team have found and spicy questions :hot_pepper: like if ODK Web Forms will replace Collect.
