Business

The purpose of SSW.Dory is to streamline collaboration and reduce roadblocks in your daily operations. It can identify SharePoint pages that have been left checked-out or GitHub pull requests that have been left open for too long. There is room in the future to extend this to other forms of blockers.

The Problem

Once a page in SharePoint has been checked-out for editing by someone, they are the only person allowed to make changes. If they forget to check this page back in and someone else needs to edit it, then the the other person is blocked.

Similarly, if a pull request in GitHub isn't merged in time, it may become stale and require extra effort to be able to be merged back into the main branch.

The Goals

• Create a low-code solution to identify these blockers and be able to notify the relevant people
• Productise this solution so that other companies are able to use it

Statement of Intent

The intent of this project is to create a low-code solution in Microsoft Power Automate. This solution will be generalised so that other companies can use it.
