Scripting Sequence Diagrams
Getting up to speed at a project at work has been difficult. I was transitioning from an Administrative job and more project-oriented work to being a full-time Software Develop. The company I was joining was implementing Scrum. I came to find out I arrived slightly before a major restructuring of the Development group. When teams were announced, I was thrilled to learn I was going to be working on the Citizen Participation and Training products that the company offers.
My team was smallest, at 3 team members. All 3 of us were new to company, being hired less than 6 months ago from the project start date. The product lacked coherent documentation, which resulted in a lack of clarity amongst the Development group. Product vision was not as focused as it could be, and I thought it'd be beneficial to develop project blueprints, primarily in the form of visual UML diagrams. So, I wanted to experiment with generating Sequence Diagrams from Ruby.

In Rails, this would start with Routes.rb.
