## Ansible community team project management proposal

---

## Problem statement
#### How can our team track progress toward initiatives while also manage day-to-day tactical needs?

---

## Proposed Solution - GitHub project boards

*note* slides updated based on team feedback and approval

* Can support higher-level issues with subissues (aka epics)
* Can create ~~sprint~~ Month views and personal task views
* Will track ONLY toward larger goals/initiatives 
~~* Need to assess each individual's bandwidth during a given sprint - no one will be at 100%! 
~~* Will maintain time to address tactical (aka incoming requests from community)

---

## How do we get there?

1. Agree to the solution :-) *done*
2. Map existing Jira tickets into the Initiatives project board.
3. ~~Determine each individual's sprint-capacity.~~
4. Triage [community-team issues](https://github.com/ansible-community/community-team/issues/) backlog. 
    1. Map to initiatives where appropriate (use labels?).
    2. Scope for size, priority and assign due date if fixed.
6. Design and work in ~~3-week sprints~~ one month iterations.

### General Workflow - Triage

* Weekly - Face to face triage meeting for backlog
    * May go biweekly or async once we triage existing backlog
    * Includes community-team issues backlog and any new internal JIRA tickets created. (Will copy jira details into github)

---

## General Workflow - ~~Sprints~~Monthly
* Every ~~three weeks~~ - Month
    * Prior ~~sprint~~  Month retrospective (live or possibly async)
        * Evaluate our ~~estimates and~~ progress and feed into next month's planning
    * Next ~~sprint~~ Month planning meeting (live)
        * Bring in next steps for each active initiatvie
        * Leaves time for async/tactical community work
