@thisisdhaas and I have collaborated on Orchestra v1.0.33. Shout out to two hackathons in a row of heads-down time to improve Orchestra. This release has one major feature (autostaffing) and a bunch of UX improvements/bugfixes.
We're trying out GitHub's discussions feature to post a summary of the project.
Major feature: Autostaffing
Prior to this version, Orchestra's StaffBot would reach out to qualified experts alerting when a new task was available. Depending on the time of day an expert was working, they might face challenges picking up new tasks. For example, B12 does most of its customer-facing work during US east coast business hours, and so experts who work in that timezone had an easier time picking up new tasks. With v1.0.33, we've released an AutoStaffing module in Orchestra. Here's an overview
Account settings
.Worker.max_autostaff_hours_per_day
). Experts will only see the hours interface if they have nonzeromax_autostaff_hours_per_day
(defaults to 0 hours/day).Project.priority
and experts byWorker.staffing_priority
. It estimates the time a task will take by calling the task'sStep.get_assignable_hours
function, and considers work the expert has already tracked today, as well as work it has previously assigned the expert.Bugfixes and UX improvements
Project management bugfix: you can now add an expert to a project using their Orchestra Worker username rather than having to know their Slack username.
Easier Slack access in dev: we now correctly/consistently use Slack IDs anywhere a Slack message is sent, and enable Slack usage in dev.
Available tasks now display staffing request creation time (see the Available since column) rather than task creation time. The table is also now sorted by project priority and then by request creation time.
Clicking save on a settings screen now offers visual confirmation of the save.
Notification settings bugfix: You can now save notification preferences again.
Project management bugfix: The 'view in admin' button at the top of a project's management screen works again.
