Proposal: Automate the reporting of deployment blockers to produce a daily issue
Problem statement
We currently track deployment blockers either as CRs, incidents or release issues using labels to show the amount of time deployments were delayed for. These issues are (manually) gathered onto the reporting epic to allow us to spot patterns and make tool & process improvements.
In parallel, we report the number of packages being tagged vs. the number being deployed and use this to track how efficient our current tagging schedule is.
Recently we've been adding extra meaning to these charts by manually annotating the chart with deployment blocker information.
Proposal
Automatically generate a daily deployment-blockers issue based on the deployment blocked labels. Automatically link this issue to the reporting epic and annotate to the chart.
In addition to removing several manual tasks, an automated, daily report would make it easier to spot and correct any missing deployment blockers. This would improve our metrics and allow us to further improve our deployment processes and tools.
