Hi all, my name is Jonathan Beltran. We here at Kango Labs just launched a new product for all you folks running agile sprints and using LiquidPlanner. Works for us. Might work for you. It's called Supernatural. This product is really the brainchild of my business partner, Jeremy Dost. This deck is an excerpt of a Drupal Camp presentation he did in May. Supernatural™, a heavenly dynamic scrum tool. One tab. All day. Every day. From Jeremy and Jonathan at Kango Labs, Inc. Running multiple projects for multiple clients in Agile Scrum sprints? Have no easy way for individuals to manage tasks from budget estimate, to task, to timesheet, to invoicing, to post mortem? Get frustrated when tools are not mobile? It's about time you had a Heavenly Scrum Day Supernatural™ is an online software development tool designed to help product teams, dev shops, digital agencies, and others navigate through their agile scrum sprint cycles successfully, anytime, anywhere. Originally created for integration with LiquidPlanner. Supernatural™ let’s a team progress through sprints easily using a data driven UI, dynamic links, and APIs. “We originally developed this tool for our internal use. Although we we’re happy with the LiquidPlanner project management tool, we needed both headsdown (design and development) and headsup (planning and resource tracking) traceability through our sprints. We had a lot to organize and we hadn’t found a tool to do it just right and be mobile. So, we decided to build it ourselves!” -Jeremy Dost, Co-Founder, Kango Labs Get a 15-day free trial by emailing gosupernatural@kangolabs.com, or read on… Here’s some of what we were using… Basecamp Sifter Microsoft Project Whiteboards Jira Trello LiquidPlanner How It Works Step 1 - Get Integrated Once your API with LiquidPlanner is set up, you simply log into your teams Supernatural™ instance online.

3. What specifically is the problem?
We have a lot to organize and we have not found a tool to do it just right.
• Basecamp
• Microsoft Project
• Physical boards
• Jira
• Trello
• Liquid Planner

4. Example: Trello
Not enough summary
across boards
https://trello.com/

5. Example: Liquid Planner
Difficult for day to day
and for individuals

6. What else has been lacking?
Collect data from our sprint retrospectives and process
Create daily tasklists for developers
Easily plan out future sprints and goals
Provide a better summary across the whole team
Ease progress and time tracking

7. Enter D8: A supernatural aid
We are digital makers. Lets build our own in Drupal 8 (rc).
APIs / REST / Headless
Controllers and Views
All the strengths of Drupal and data modelling

8. Crossing the threshold
Good things for getting started
Stand it all up right
Establish the data models and build with the basics
Creating a basic custom module
Explore REST and Boostrap

9. Challenges along the way
Challenges to custom module and template development:
• New configuration in YML
• Routes and controllers and PHP namespaces
• No more drupal_add_js() -> libraries.yml + page attachments
• system_settings_form() -> DrupalCoreFormConfigFormBase
• Dealing with caching -> https://www.drupal.org/node/1903374
• In Controller actions -> Drupal::service('page_cache_kill_switch')-
>trigger();
• In Configuration -> settings.local.php / default.services.yml

10. When things look their worst
Challenges to custom module and template development:
“The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.”
drush cr
Lean on your CI setup
Back to basics: Creating nodes and terms in your module is not very hard
Upgrading was difficult

11. Making it all look good
TWIG is great for building highly customized interfaces
Bootstrap base theme and bootswatch
Building workflow is even easier with named routes

12. Transformation!
Simple screens
Workflow
Custom data
