Scrum Meeting - 10/28/2025

Date & Time: 10/28/2025 | 01:00 PM EST

Attendees: Rao Bhethanabotla, Priyanka Tiwari, Sudhisha Palle, Achyuth Kumar Miryala, Anuhya Mandava, Arjun Rai, Astha Sharma, Bhargav Mylavarapu, Divyaraj Singh Nirwan, Jemin Miyani, Kaki Bhavana Shree, Likhith Kumar Vuchooru, Pradumna Patki, Priyanka M, Rithika Mary, Shambhavi Satish Patil, Sriya Avirneni, Teja Vadapalli, Ushasree Perakalapudi, Vedant Brahmbhatt, Saket Thorat

Topics Discussed:

  • Marketing Collaboration:

    • Need to identify top 5–6 collaborator organizations per help category and assign volunteers accordingly.
    • Marketing efforts to follow a structured CRM approach — tracking contact attempts, responses, and follow-ups in GitHub issues or internal trackers.
    • Example organizations shared: Calm, Healthy, Happy Org and Shankara Eye Foundation (Gift of Vision) to be added as collaborators.
    • Marketing volunteers to work jointly with product managers when reaching out externally.
  • Official Email Access:

    • Team reminded to use @saayamforall.org emails for outreach.
    • Rao to share Nettigritty webmail access details with the exec team.
    • Volunteers can request official IDs through the executive group for verified communication.
  • Finance & Cross-Team Collaboration:

    • Finance members to be invited to PM/BA meetings since every use case involves cost implications.
    • Non-technical volunteers (e.g., from finance, robotics) encouraged to create new help categories or extend existing ones aligned with their expertise.
  • Product Documentation:

    • Healthcare and well-being use case reviewed as a model example; other categories to follow similar structure.
    • Product managers must ensure numbering consistency (main category → subcategory → additional fields).
    • Labels in UI and wiki to match exactly (e.g., “Medical Consultation” = 5.1).
    • English labels finalized first; front-end will translate dynamically per locale.
    • Drop-down options must follow uniform grammar — all nouns or all verbs.
  • Architecture Clarification:

    • System relies on numeric constants (e.g., 5.1, 5.1A) for backend mapping; labels vary by language.
    • Additional fields (A, B, C) denote dynamic UI prompts triggered during form completion.
    • Changes to numbering must stop once values are committed to the database (“frozen” constants).
  • Follow-Up Actions:

    • Product Management & BA Teams:
      • Review all six use cases for numbering and field consistency.
      • Remove unused “Step” columns and finalize additional fields (A, B, C format).
    • Priyanka & Likhith: Host follow-up meeting at 3:00 PM EST for cross-team correction session.
    • Marketing: Begin collaborator outreach with confirmed organizations; use official emails.
    • Rao: Provide webmail access link to executive group.
Scrum Meeting - 10/22/2025

Date & Time: 10/22/2025 | 01:00 PM EST

Attendees: Rao Bhethanabotla, Aaryan Wagh, Vidhi Upadhyay, Harsh, Pallavi Chitrada, Anmol Bhatta, Mary Ritika, Sharanya Gowda, Priyanka Tiwari, Prathamesh , LikithKumar, Bhargav Mylavarapu

Topics Discussed:

  • Business model & actors: Monetization via ads and commissions; Defined actors: Beneficiaries (requesters), Organizations (explicitly includes for-profit and non-profit — replace “voluntary organization” everywhere), Volunteers, Donors.
  • Razorpay / Payments UI: Razorpay demo was simulated. Logo missing; alignment problems vs PayPal/Stripe; Recommendation: center-align single-row payment options and ensure consistent logos and text casing (e.g., “Make a Donation”).
  • Error message / code framework: Standardize information/warning/error codes (goal: globally recognizable codes like “SAAYAM-200”); Codes must be constant across 12 supported languages; messages localized; Maintain a wiki table of codes so search engines and users can find them.
  • Localization / Translators: Need native speakers to produce colloquial, user-friendly translations rather than literal Google Translate results; Create and surface a translators group (Saayam Translators) in product pages and resource bundles.
  • Authentication & Security: Cognito used for auth; educate users about weak passwords and dark web risks; Emphasize security hygiene and monitoring.
  • Architecture & Performance: Dashboard data rendered from API Gateway → microservices (request, volunteer, etc.); Use ElastiCache for enumerations/caching to avoid hitting DB for reads; Microservices must have separate DB credentials to monitor read/write capacity per service.
  • Delegation & Task Management: Assign leads for categories (Food & Essentials, Clothing Assistance, etc.); Use GitHub for task tracking and assignees; Rao emphasized delegation as a leadership skill.
  • Quality & Reliability: Maintain high UX standards and disaster-recovery readiness (Amazon outage example).
  • Rao’s LinkedIn/analytics visibility: project will be watched by industry peers — quality matters.

Action Items:

  • Replace the term “voluntary organization” with “organization” everywhere in the UI, documentation, and presentations.
  • Rename AWS AppConfig to a more suitable name such as parameters form or equivalent configuration method.
  • Create a central error code table in the web app wiki, including code, message type, English message, and example usage.
  • Display error numbers/codes in the UI for all information, warning, and error messages.
  • Maintain consistent sign-in/login terminology across all navigation links and page headers.
  • Add Razorpay logo and ensure it is properly aligned and visually consistent with PayPal and Stripe options.
  • Center-align the Razorpay button when it’s the only payment option on the page.
  • Correct text casing on payment-related headings (e.g., “Make a Donation”).
  • Conduct a UI visual audit to ensure proper alignment, spacing, capitalization, and consistency across all pages.
  • Create a translators group and list translator names on product pages and resource bundles for all supported languages.
  • Recruit native speakers for translations to ensure colloquial, user-friendly language.
  • Add translator ownership and supported languages to the product wiki.
  • Use ElastiCache for caching enumerations to reduce database read load.
  • Ensure each microservice uses separate database credentials to monitor read/write capacity.
  • Implement monitoring for database read and write usage across microservices.
  • Ensure enumerations and status values are exposed correctly via the API Gateway and mapped to localized UI text.
  • Standardize six request statuses (Created, Matching Volunteer, Managed, Resolved, Cancelled, Deleted) and localize them.
  • Assign category leads (e.g., Food & Essentials, Clothing Assistance, etc.) and document ownership.
  • Track all project tasks and deliverables through GitHub issues with assigned owners and due dates.
  • Include translator details, error code reference, and supported language list in the project wiki.
  • Document naming conventions for all code identifiers (e.g., SAAYAM-200 format).
  • Add a note in the wiki clarifying that organizations can be both for-profit and non-profit.
  • Ensure UX consistency for icons and message display (info, warning, error).
  • Conduct a full product demo walkthrough before next review session.
  • Maintain high-quality standards for UI and resilience, emphasizing production-readiness and recovery planning.
  • Ensure analytics and external visibility are properly tracked (LinkedIn, corporate observers).

Cards to be distributed in PDF format, with future option to explore QR/NFC sharing at conferences. Meghana may need one for IIT conference.
  • Volunteer Promotion Flow: Four-step wizard (terms acceptance, ID upload, skills, availability). Need for a volunteer table to track step-by-step progress and allow users to resume. Verification required before final promotion; HR team or third-party service to validate IDs.
  • Database Design: Separate volunteer table preferred for efficiency. Option to use triggers for location updates and to track journey status. Volunteers promoted only after HR verification.

Key Meeting Notes:

  • Need a page to show Metrix, not needed for 0.5 MVP, but needed for MVP
  • Hide - join the community (login page) button for now
  • When super admin or admin logged in page, they have to see the issues on priority
  • For all 10 languages Including audio and video needs to be tested, and the entire UI should be tested in all languages
  • Admins and Super Admins dashboards should see both internal and external numbers and others should see only external numbers
  • Admins should have one more tab for preferences and preferences tab will have multiple options
