Do you agree that products always have room for improvement?
"Every day there are little things in software that we find annoying. Some write books about it, like Annoyances.org, but I thought this site would be more constructive.
BetterSoftwareSuggestions.com is proudly maintained by myself and the developers at SSW."
- Adam Cogan Are you looking for SSW Rules on Azure DevOps?
Eg. 3 comments from 5 team members should show 15 comments.
Would it make sense to add a menu: Repros | Comments ?
Then I would see a grid of those 15 comments.
In addition, it would be great to be able to hit a button “Send Email” to let your boss get an email:
“Hey, just did this bunch of comments on the code. It would be good if we could get this project prioritized next week.”
Figure: Allow us to see the current comments to resolve
During a sprint review, I watched Alvin enter a whole lot of data, close the form, click ‘ok’ and then lose all his work. Grrr!
Let’s change the OK button!
See below…
Figure 1: The default OK button tend to lead people not save the changes
The default ‘OK’ button led me to not save the changes. Which was very confusing!
On the other hand, most apps have the default button as Save the changes (e.g. Microsoft Word).
That is much more user-friendly.
Figure 2: The default button always saves the changes
This is important and in my opinion, I hope Microsoft fix this to make more sense.
Less noise – more value 😊
+ I’d like a 3rd graph for Business Value – see https://rules.ssw.com.au/do-you-estimate-business-value
Figure: Can you hide the 4 settings under the Setting Cog… and instead show the “Average Points”
I have 5 tabs open for the projects I am the Scrum Master or Product Owner of…
It would help to visually identify it with the logo or maybe I would put a picture of the Product Owner.
Figure: Allow me to put the product logo here
You might have already thought about this, but I find myself wanting to notify everyone in the team… so intuitively I just want to type ‘all’
Suggestion: We should be able to use @team or @all instead of typing out the current team’s name.
Figure: Here I would prefer to type “@team” instead of the team name “@Mark & Adam”
It goes without saying I’d like other Microsoft products to work in a similar way.
The most pressing would be Azure DevOps work items.
Figure: Here I would love to be able to address the whole team with “@team”
