Eng. planning split
[edit]- Sprint Planning
- Lets be dynamic/agile - no pre-determined prcentages on engineering tasks vs features vs bugs
- Focused on delivering value - not on bucketing tasks into features and engineering tasks - and maintaining/increasing velocity
- Tech lead represents (pre-groomed/estimated) tasks from engineering
- Integrating relevant, high-priority tasks into sprint
- Finding ways to gradually work in smaller "cleanup/maintenance" tasks
Source control tools debate

Proposed Migration Plan
[edit]1. Move to Github, do sprint based code drops to gerrit
2. Help drive Differential/Archanists development to support our needs.
3. When Differential/Archanists reaches MVP, we will move to those tools
