Gregory Peony's Diary

Recent diary entries

Today I realised that itโ€™s probably significantly more efficient (in terms of effort and time) to simply state the reason(s) for (in)validating a task in the task comments, and ask contributors to read the project comments where I can post some more detailed comments, explinations, pictures etc. related to common mistakes I find while validating the project.

This efficiently accomplishes at least four objectives;

  1. Contributors who read the comments recieve feedback regarding their contributions
  2. It is easier to get an overwiew of quality issues in the project.
  3. It saves time in comparison to giving feedback on each individual task.
  4. Contributors to the project who map areas yet to be mapped and read the project comments can get a heads up, before contributing increasing the likelihood that they will avoid making the same mistakes.

Farewell to giving feedback on every task, unless it is truly unique. ๐Ÿ˜Œ
