Issue Triage & Prioritization
Incoming issues/asks/etc. are triaged several times a week, labeled appropriately, and assigned to a milestone in priority order:
- P0 (serious crashes, data loss, etc.) issues are scheduled to be dealt with ASAP
- P1/2 issues/features/asks assigned to the current or future milestone, or to the Terminal 2.0 milestone for future assignment, if required to deliver a 2.0 feature
- Issues/features/asks not on our list of 2.0 features are assigned to the Terminal Backlog for subsequent triage, prioritization & scheduling.
2.0 Scenarios
The following are a list of the key scenarios we're aiming to deliver for Terminal 2.0.
