Create Team Progress Board

[nthd3gr33]

Why?

Improve the experience for Learners and Mentors in ClojureFam. Create a sense of:

1. progress as a team, and
2. camaraderie as a cohort

What and How?

Many different ways to implement this, but here is one example:

Each card is a team, each column is a checkpoint. Checkpoints can be parts of the roadmap, such as 'first 20 4Clojure questions'

Points to Ponder

1. Making a WIP PR (use Draft) and asking for comments is probably best for this type of task.
2. Teams will probably not move linearly from left to right in the kanban. For example, a Learner will not complete all 4Clojure problems before moving on to the Brave book.

Action Items:

• Research progress boards that exist elsewhere
• Create a general design of this kanban board
• Create a list of checkpoints based on our existing roadmap
• Create first version of the progress board

@amirsato (Linguaphile on Discord) made a great point in the #school-builders channel:

People from the same team can do tasks at different speeds. I think it's more convenient to use a table.

So they created this: https://airtable.com/shrFCrWTTM5GdZrPV

Hi, I'm "Marco Μάρκος" on Discord 👋

Here is a simplified example of the Airtable schema I suggested on Discord. (I'm jumping in quite out of the blue so please tell me if I'm missing the point!)

The schema has three tables:

1. A Lessons table, with the list of all exercises.
2. A Learners table, with all the members of all ClojureFam cohorts.
3. A Cohorts table with all the cohorts.

These tables have two-way links to each other. You can open/close the "Blocks" panel on the right to show the completion rates of all cohorts

I can send you an invite link to edit/play around with the base. Just PM or Discord me for that!

Hi, I'm Linguaphile on Discord.

@bonobo-d thank you. You've made a good table.

What do you think, @nthd3gr33 ?

[amirsato]

@bonobo-d I've made changes to your table

1. Added rows with problems to the Lessons table (4Clojure, Brave Clojure, Clojure from the Ground Up)
2. Hid the 'Difficulty' field in the table Lessons
3. Hid the 'Curriculum' field in the table Lessons
4. Grouped the table Lessons by Difficulty
5. Changed the formulas 'Completion Rate' in the Learners table

To who it may concern: I am Linguaphile on Github. For some reason Iam getting email apparently meant for Linguaphile on Discord. I assure you that is some one else not jallison@williams.edu. Please adjust your email emissions accordingly. Thanks Jim Allison

Since you've already been tagged, the only way to stop getting email is to unsubscribe from the issue. Sorry for the mixup @linguaphile !

Closing since I think we'll use Project Board for progress checking!
