DTS Website Management

We use the Data & Technology Services website, Austinmobility.io, to showcase our work and communicate with stakeholders. The content is driven by Github, Zenhub, and the DTS Portal.

Basics

An issue will appear on the Projects or Products pages if it:

• Has a "Product: xyz" or "Project: xyz" name

• Has the "Product Index" or "Project Index" label

Tiles

Each project or product is rendered as a tile using content from the index issue:

Various Github content is used for the project/product "tiles"

Issues and activity

All issues with the Product: label for a given product will be rendered on the Issues tab (example) and all comments on the project/product Index issue itself will show on the Activity tab (example).

Evaluation

In order for the Evaluation tab (example) to render correctly, the project must have an evaluation completed in the DTS Portal.

Once an issue is labeled Project Index, it will automatically be added as a project in the DTS Portal.

If your project is not listed in Knack, the ETL may not yet have run. You can manually create a new entry in Knack, just make sure you provide the correct github issue # when creating the entry. The ETL will overwrite any project name you supply manually.

You can manually create a project if your project is not listed

Evaluating effort

Product Managers work with builders—the Apps, Dev, Data Science, or Geo teams—to assess the level of effort for a project.

Evaluating value

A project's predicted value is added to the Product Sync agenda so that the Product team can review it as a group and determine a score together.
