Campaign Library phase 1 delivery - weekly update 14 Feb

Project name: Campaign Library Phase 1
Status: 🟢 On target

This week the focus for development has been on adding more intelligence into the import and export routines so that they will cater for more dependencies based on the data that's been set up for campaigns. The likely variation is one of the larger risks for the project so Levente and I have been very grateful for the support and expertise of Jan Linhart here.

We did a sprint review of our first sprint early in the week, with the main outcome being that we want to regularly have a review at the end of each sprint to demo what's been delivered and to look forward into the next sprint and resolve any technical issues. That will start from the end of next week.

We had a good meeting with Yash Khuthia from Acquia, a developer and product owner who has been involved in building similar features for multi-instance Mautic environments. Yash shared a number of hard won insights about how users have received and worked with the features he developed and how he worked through some of the main challenges. The main takeaway was to think hard about how the features are described because user's expectations can vary wildly if not managed carefully.

With that in mind I have been thinking about how we manage the testing part of the project, working up some test data as a benchmark we can test against. This is now a lot easier than it used to be with the help of gen-AI! Finally, I have started to draft the detail of what will be included in the documentation for developers and users with the delivery of the work.
