Roadmap work to be done before a feature is released

[shmonks]

Dependencies

• PD has a feature to be released

Overview

We need to drive the process for completing and releasing a feature so that:

• Progress towards completion can be secured and assessed, including the removal of obstacles
• Progress is visible to all stakeholders
• Progress can easily be reported to stakeholders

Action Items

• Consider creating a consistent rule for renaming Issues on the PD project board, so it's immediately clear at the beginning of the issue name who needs to work on them. For example, 'Create...' (for Dev), 'Implement...' (for Dev), 'Design...' (for Design) 'Usability testing...' (for Research)
• Consider creating a series of ranking labels like the following (used by TDM) to be applied to issues in the Prioritized Backlog:
• time sensitive - issues with this label go to the top
• priority: must have - for MVP features
• priority: should have - for MVP features
• priority: could have
• priority: won't have this time
• On PD project board, create a new view formatted as a roadmap and with filters similar to this example from the TDM project board, including some variation of is:open label:"p-feature: My Projects Page" "p-feature: My Project Page-Admin view" "p-feature: Admin Tools" label:"priority: MUST HAVE" -label:"p-feature: snapshot"
• When plotting the end dates for issues, remember that an issue with the label size: 1pt should represent about one week's work for a developer
• Do a regular audit of the whole PD project board filtered for unassigned issues,
  • Is there a reason why they can't be worked on? Reach out to someone holding the relevant role: and ask
  • Assign issue(s) if there's no reason why they can't be worked on
• Do a regular audit of issues in the Ice Box, as per Ice Box review #386, to see if any dependencies have been released and those issues can therefore be put into the Prioritized Backlog:

Resources/Instructions

• TDM roadmap
• PD project board filtered for unassigned issues
• Ice Box review #386
• See https://github.com/orgs/hackforla/projects/68/views/1?filterQuery=1719&pane=issue&itemId=67053828 for TDM's Google Sheet which has enabled them to make sure that features are being worked on by Dev and/or Design
