Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

VSTS extension that auto calculates RICE and stores it in a field.

Readme

RICE - VSTS Extension

RICE is an acronym for the four factors that are used to evaluate each project idea: reach, impact, confidence and effort.

RICE = (Reach * Impact * Confidence) / Effort

Setup

RICE extension enables a calculated field for computing and storing the RICE score on your work items.

  1. The first thing you need is to create the field that will store the RICE value. Create a custom decimal field through the process hub and add it to the work items you want to display it.

Create a custom decimal field

  1. Navigate to the "RICE" hub on the collection settings admin experience. From here, you must specify the fields that will be used for Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort and RICE Score.
