# Converged Tooltip

### Problem

* We have 2 versions of the Tooltip component
* None of them use our latest technology stack
* We need to have a converged, updated version that follows latest design spec while minimizing API impact

### Appetite

* Josche's availability is limited during the month of October (30%)
* Expected work between 6 - 8 weeks because of that

### Solution
[TODO] - Update with goal for October (or move to November)
* Build a converged component
    * Investigation + technical spec -> Open UI
    * Take a look at API differences across versions
    * Follow design and technical specs to build new component
    * Add visual regression + performance tests
    * Add examples + docs
    * etc
* At the same time
    * Document/improve process of building a converged component along the way

### Risks (Rabbit holes)

* The project taking even longer to finish
    * Due to Josche's availability
    * Due to us refining and updating documentation on the process along the way for someone that's new to the repo

### Out of scope (No-gos)

* No newly-added features other than what's existing and what's determined by the behaviors in the specs (component parity)
