Story

As a developer implementing the “Private Issues” feature,
I want to introduce myself upstream, establish requirements, objectives, etc.,
so I can confidently work on the feature.

Background

There have been a couple of attempts regarding this feature in the past. In their context, some guidance was given how this feature can be implemented in a way acceptable upstream. The different parties who asked for such a feature also have different ideas about the scope of the feature, some crossed into introducing discussions as an alternative to issues – which is not what we aim for. This needs to be communicated, but we also don’t want to do things that would conflict with such endeavors by others.

Backlog Status
Needs Review
Work items that have been created or updated but need review, refinement, or approval before they can be considered ready for sprint planning.

  
Backlog Status
Ready
Work items that have been reviewed, refined, and are ready to be committed to a sprint. These items have clear requirements and could be worked on immediately when capacity is available.

  
Chore

Tasks that are necessary but don't directly deliver new value to the end-user. These are internal tasks like updating a library, managing user accounts, or setting up a new service.

  
points
01
A task that is simple, small, and has very little uncertainty. It should be easy enough for any team member to pick up and complete quickly, without a lot of discussion or research.

  
points
02
This is a task that is slightly more complex or larger than a "1." It might involve two or three simple steps, but the outcome is still very clear and there's little uncertainty.

  
points
03
medium-sized task with some noticeable complexity. It might require a bit more thought or collaboration. The steps are well-defined, but it's not a trivial change.

  
points
05
a significant piece of work. It has more complexity and a higher degree of uncertainty than smaller tasks. It might require some research, a design discussion, or collaboration across multiple teams.

  
points
08
complex task with a lot of uncertainty. It's often the largest size that a team will consider for a single sprint. It likely requires a detailed breakdown and multiple team members to complete.

  
points
13
Any task that feels like it's a "13" or more is considered an Epic. These are too large and uncertain to be worked on in a single sprint.

  
Priority
High
This is for work that is critical and needs to be addressed in the next sprint. It's often for urgent bugs, important features, or a major piece of technical debt that is blocking other work.

  
Priority
Low
This is for work that is good to do but not urgent. It's a candidate for being worked on when there's extra time or when it rises in importance. It can stay in the backlog for a longer period.

  
Priority
Medium
This is for important work that should be done soon, but isn't as urgent as a high-priority item. It will likely be considered for the next 1-2 sprints.

  
Sprint Status
Blocked
Indicates the work cannot proceed. There is a dependency or an issue that is preventing the team from completing the task. This is a flag for the Scrum Master to help unblock the team.

  
Sprint Status
Done
Work items that have been completed, reviewed, and integrated. No further work is needed within the current sprint.

  
Sprint Status
In Progress
This label is for work that a developer is actively working on. This is usually what you'll see on the "In Progress" column of your project board.

  
Sprint Status
Review
This indicates that the work is complete, but it is now in a review state. This could mean a peer code review, a QA check, or a review by the Product Owner.

  
Sprint Status
To Do
Work items that are committed to the sprint but haven't been started yet. These items are ready to be picked up by team members.

  
Technical Debt

work that improves the codebase without adding new features. It's work that pays down the "debt" you've accumulated, such as refactoring a messy piece of code, improving test coverage.

  
Work Item
Bug
Issues where the system is not working as intended or designed. Bugs represent deviations from expected behavior.
