Planning and organizing our work - DOI-ONRR/nrrd GitHub Wiki

Project Epics

Epics should be used for discrete projects with a start and date that can be adjusted as needed and will likely encompass several sprints. Each Epic should go on the Roadmap. Epics are not for normal site updates and bugs.

Planning Epics

Epics are also used to make 6-8 week work plans with a start and end date and are indicated by dessert names. These Epics should also be shown on the Roadmap found in Zenhub. These Epics contain the goals of the work plans and relevant issues are placed within these epics. Other Epics may be listed under these Epics if they will be completed within the specified time frame.

Issues

Try to ensure that Issues are an amount of work that can be completed within a Sprint. Issues should be placed under both project epics and work plan Epics as needed.

Labels

Labels are added to Issues to further describe and categorize each Issue. Labels should be used to help organize like Issues and help with work planning.

You'll find some guidance for using labels in various sections of this wiki. You can also look up details on when to apply labels on the Labels page in the Issues section of each repository.
