What is being worked on, and what comes next

Tickroll is a status board. It shows a client what Dalaric is working on, what comes next, what is waiting on someone and what is done, on one page.

What a board shows

  • Four columns

    Every card sits in Working on, Next, Waiting on or Done. A card that is waiting says who it is waiting on.

  • Time from ticks

    The person doing the work ticks the cards they are on, and each day's time is shared between them. There is no timer to start or stop.

  • A bucket list

    Longer term ideas wait in a list of their own, grouped by category and ordered by priority.

  • Regular tasks

    Work that repeats is listed with when it is next due, and with a history of each time it was done.

  • Reports and supporting info

    Status reports are published on the board, beside reference notes that show what changed in each one. A card can carry attached files, such as PDFs.

  • Deployments

    Releases have a board of their own, laid out in the same four columns, with the project and release on each card.

Each board has a reading address for the client and a separate address where the changes are made. Both are behind Cloudflare Access, and the time is shown only on the address where the changes are made.

Can I use it?

Tickroll is made and used by Dalaric, and it is not open to new users yet. It runs two boards today, one for a client and one for Dalaric's own work.

Later, Dalaric clients will open their boards from my.dalaric.com, Dalaric's customer portal.

If you would like to hear when it opens, email info@dalaric.com.
