Backlog Refinement Meeting
Date: 20 August 2025
Time: 41 Minutes
Platform: In person meeting
Attendees: Ntokozo, Risuna, Jane, Naledi, Annah
Discussion Points
Decisions Taken
- Remove “Continue with Facebook” button on the login page.
- Rename the Logbook page to Homepage.
- Redesign the Login page for better user experience.
- Add a flash/animation effect to the Signup and Login buttons.
Items Needing Clarification
- Define the exact UI/UX design changes for the new Login page.
- Confirm whether the Homepage will display recent hikes, user stats, or both.
- Decide on the type of animation for Signup/Login buttons.
- Clarify whether removing Facebook login requires backend cleanup (API keys, OAuth configs).
Estimations & Task Breakdown
- Story points must be assigned for each of the new items.
- Large user stories (e.g., “Redesign login page”) should be broken into smaller tasks:
- Update frontend layout
- Adjust form validation
- Connect API endpoints
- Write test cases
Dependencies & Risks
- Renaming Logbook → Homepage may require updating navigation, routes, and documentation.
- Animations should be lightweight to avoid performance issues on low-end devices.
Reprioritization
- Login-related tasks are high priority since they affect user access.
- Homepage renaming is medium priority but must be aligned with navigation updates.
- Animations are low-medium priority (nice-to-have, but not blocking).
Action Items
- Remove Facebook button (frontend + backend cleanup if necessary).
- Rename Logbook page to Homepage in all places (UI + navigation + docs).
- Redesign Login page (create mockups, review, then implement).
- Add flash/animation feature to Signup/Login buttons.
- Assign story points and update GitHub Project board.
- Break down large tasks into smaller subtasks.
- Review dependencies and adjust sprint plan if needed.
Next Steps:
Finalized backlog items will be moved into the upcoming sprint, with clear acceptance criteria, estimations, and priorities.
