Vision

Goals

Pulse should be maintainable, scalable, and simple. These goals are often complimentary to one another.

Maintainable

1. Developers elsewhere within Pivotal Labs should be able to pick up a story with minimal communication
2. Someone from outside Pivotal should be able to contribute (clear documentation, good structure, not intimidating)

Scalable

Architecture

The client and server should be relatively isolated from one another both physically and contractually. A developer outside of the team or organization should be able to fork the repository and modify one of these to their own needs in isolation of the other.

CI

It should be relatively easy and straightforward to add additional CI environments.

Channels

Consider how Pulse will be adopted into an organization. It may have to integrate with external SSO.

Simple

This is something that we as Pivots use every day; it needs to be easy for an anchor to set this up quickly.

Usability

1. ...for a system administrator installing and setting it up
2. ...for a project anchor managing a project over time
