Managing your sprints

As a sprint owner you can validate records marked as ready by data stewards, and export a CSV file with validated records.

You can find all your sprints in Data stewardship in the Qlik Talend Data Integration activity center.

More about sprints

A sprint is the main body of work for performing the required stewardship tasks.

Click on a sprint in Data stewardship to open it. You will see the sprint overview, but there are more tabs available.

• Overview

  This contains general sprint information and a progress indicator.

• Assigned to you

  This is where data stewards perform validation on assigned records.

  See Working in a resolution sprint.

• Assigned to others

  This is where you can see records that are assigned to other stewards.

• To be validated

  This is where you can see records that are marked as ready and need a second step of validation by a sprint owner.

• Resolved

  This is where you can view all records that are marked as resolved by stewards.

Validating records marked as ready

You can set a sprint to require a second step of validation by a sprint owner. You can set this when creating the sprint, or change it later in Settings.

To validate records, open To be validated.

Select the record to validate, and choose any of the actions:

• Approve

  This will move the record to Resolved

• Reject

  This will re-assign the record back to the data steward. Data values are not changed or reverted.

The records are now moved to Resolved.

Exporting resolved records to a CSV file

You can export all resolved records to a CSV file.

• Click Export in the sprint Overview .

The CSV file is created with the name of the sprint.
