Splash

A Sprint Planning CLI Application

The motivation of this application is to automate the selection of tasks within a Sprint in an Agile team.

Splash reads JSON file containing the target story points for a sprint and tasks in the backlog, which consists of a list of names, priorities, and story points. By calling the selectFrom command, Splash outputs the Sprint that maximizes the priorities while keeping the total story points lesser or equal to target story points.

Usage

Splash [command]

Available Commands:
  completion  Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
  help        Help about any command
  selectFrom  Select tasks from the tasklist

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for Splash

Use "Splash [command] --help" for more information about a command.

Example

Imagine having the following backlog in a JSON file:

{
    "targetStoryPoints": 5,
    "tasks": [
        "TaskA",
        "TaskB",
        "TaskC",
        "TaskD",
        "TaskE",
        "TaskF"
    ],
    "storyPoints": [1, 1, 8, 3, 5, 0],
    "priorities": [1, 2, 5, 10, 2, 4]
}

By typing:

Splash selectFrom path/to/JSONFile

The output is:

Sprint:
 TotalStoryPoints: 5
 Tasks: [TaskA TaskB TaskD TaskF]
 StoryPoints: [1 1 3 0]
 Priorities: [1 2 10 4]

And that's it! Your sprint is automatically planned for you and your team!

Notes

This application assumes that the tasks don't have any dependencies. Therefore, if your backlog has any kind of dependency, I advise you to filter the tasks beforehand to have a feasible output when using Splash.
