Introducing Spotlight Awards Feature in OnRewards

Buzz

Scrum masters are often tasked with introducing new processes beneficial to the organization. Change management in business environments can be challenging. The “Spotlight” feature in OnRewards helps scrum masters reinforce change management and can be used to influence developer behavior.

Spotlight allows recurring rewards to be set up to run every week or month and if the condition specified is met, then the awards are automatically posted. Below is the list of supported conditions. In addition to these, a generic JQL based event is provided for maximum flexibility.

No	Reward Type	Description
1	Most Descriptive	For the selected period (weekly or monthly), counts the number of characters for chosen description fields. User with the highest average of description length is given the award. Minimum to Qualify is the minimum number of tasks to qualify for the reward.
2	Frequent Comments	For the selected period (weekly or monthly), counts the number of comments. User with the highest number of comments that also meet the Minimum to Qualify number is given the reward.
3	Most Time Logged	For the selected period (weekly or monthly), the user with the highest number of logged work hours is given the reward.
4	Most Complete	For the selected period (weekly or monthly), the user who has created the most issues with identified fields populated with values. Minimum to Qualify is the minimum number of tasks to qualify for the reward.
5	Fastest Resolver	For the selected period (weekly or monthly), the user who has the highest average resolution time (Start – End time) is given the reward. Assignee on tasks are the reward recipients.
6	Story Points Closed	For the selected period (weekly or monthly), the user with the most story points is given the reward.
7	JQL	Write any JQL to identify users.
8	Micro Award	Supported only for JQL type for now. Allows you to give a micro award (1 point) to all users returned in the JQL results.

Few examples of some mundane activities but can make profound impact are

Give points to all users who respond to issues within one hour.

“Time to First Response” < elapsed(“1h”) AND (created > startOfWeek(-7) and created <= startOfWeek(-1))

Give points to users who have updated their issues at the end of the week. Note that by default, the endOfWeek function considers Saturday to be the last day of the week. In this example, users who updated their issues two days before end of week will get points.

project = “XYZ” and updatedDate < endOfWeek(-2)
