Development Process

Roadmap

The team has a 6-12 months high level Roadmap which defines high level themes and features to be addressed in this time frame.

Iterations

We will work in quarterly iteration on the items on the roadmap. Iterations are roughly quarter, rather than month based. We will begin a milestone on the first day of every month and end on the last day of every month, meaning that each milestone can have a different duration, depending on how the months align.

At the end of each iteration, we want to have a version of Sanmill that can be used by the Sanmill community. The work planned during an iteration is captured in the iteration plan (see Iteration Plans). The feature highlights of each iteration are highlighted in the release notes.

Definition of Done

• Screen reader accessible
• Release notes updated

Triage

Bugs and features will be assigned a milestone, and within a milestone, they will be assigned a priority. The priority dictates the order in which issues should be addressed. An important bug (something that we think is critical for the milestone) is to be addressed before the other bugs.

To find out when a bug fix will be available in an update, then please check the milestone that is assigned to the issue.

Please see Issue Tracking for a description of the different workflows we are using.

Monthly

Each month we will manage work items, crossing off completed features, and triaging bugs. At the end of the milestone, we will strive for 0 bugs and 0 issues assigned to the milestone. Some bugs and features will then be either postponed to later milestones or moved back to the backlog.
