Introduction

Model

The Treewalking Dashboard uses a set of well-defined Classes to describe the structure of the organisation. These data items are then declared either by a Markdown page, or via a data extraction script. Usually, Markdown files represent data that changes at a glacial pace, i.e. squad names and membership, etc, while other types of data is more real-time thus is extracted using automated scripts, i.e. Sprint/Kanban metrics, Availability, etc.

For each of these Classes, we’ll indicate the data type, i.e. manual vs automation.
