All,
In the last half of February we will plan the development on DHIS2
Mobile for the next few months. We are also expanding the mobile
development team with senior developers, and we have new master
students who will contribute to the mobile project. To make sure our
development has the maximum impact, we need high quality requirements
from the community.
This is an invitation to present your *requirements for mobile
functionality*, including SMS, J2ME, smartphone and mobile browser
clients for both Tracker and aggregated data. To make sure we have as
much as possible on the table when we do our planning, we have set a
*deadline of February 15th* for requirements to be discussed in this
round.
To facilitate an open discussion around the requirements, and to allow
everyone to learn from and be inspired by others, I would like you to
respond to this thread in the /dhis-mobile@xxxxxxxxxxx/ mailing list
with your requirements. If you do not feel comfortable with this, you
can send them directly to me, and I will anonymise them and post them
for you. I would also encourage the community to respond to the
requirements of others, and to discuss openly to achieve maximum value.
*Your requirements should include*:
- Relevant setting and project
- A short description of what you wish to accomplish - and why
- Textual descriptions of key use cases
- Example input and output data for the feature
- Urgency and priority - do you need this now or long-term.
We will then take it on ourselves to formalise and generalise the
requirements. We will hold a *priority discussion call the last week
of February* where we will let the community give feedback, and expect
to be able to present a road map for mobile in early March.
Topics that have already been mentioned are:
- SMS feedback and automated sending of indicators
- SMS reminders
- Tracker clients after 2.14/2.15 version changes
- Anonymous user features in tracker
- Org units, roles and phone numbers
- Error scenarios and better user feedback
- Usability issues
Some of these are already mentioned from several sources, which makes
them higher priority. So feel free to bump other people's requirements!
Cheers,
_Andreas_
