1. A command is created that generates the graph of issue.
2. The command creates a mermaid diagram from the graph.

Which diagram do you want to auto-generate?
And what should be used as input data for this generation?

[jeffabailey]

The mermaid diagram.
The markdown files.

Here's a first stab at a solution.

https://github.com/jeffabailey/gqm_gen

npm i && npm run start

It should generate:

```mermaid
graph LR
Goal1((Goal1))
Question1{Question2}
Metric1((Metric1))
Goal4((Goal4))
Goal1-->Question1
Goal1-->Metric1
Question1-.->Metric1
Metric1==>Goal1

It's not done, but sharing the code early.

Do we want to put this code somewhere in particular?

[rrrutledge]

Ideally in the repo somewhere - if we put it in something like a “scripts” folder will GitBook try to deploy it?

[spier]

gitbook will only include the files in the book that are listed in SUMMARY.md

[spier]

I am still unclear what is being discussed here though.

With GQM diagram, you mean this one here, right?

Why do you want to generate the GQM diagram automatically?

[rrrutledge]

It is a philosophy - that in general mechanical, repetitive tasks should be automated to save time and errors.

[spier]

Yeah, I figured the bit about the philosophy.

Maybe the mission context is this:
Are you expecting to add a lot of Goals, Questions, and Metrics to that graph over time?

[rrrutledge]

Hope so! We know that there are so many out there that people have talked about that aren’t added here.

I'll get around to finishing this either this week, or the last week of November.

Thank you, @jeffabailey

Closed automatically by the PR, but there are still open points.
