Update Milestone Planning Process

Jerome Z Ng requested to merge jeromezng-master-patch-68631 into master

Why is this change being made?

This MR updates our milestone planning process to be less of a bottleneck. The goal is for our team to be continuously shipping despite being tied to a milestone release process.

  • Updates the Product Development Flow to emphasize continuous progression so we are not bottlenecked by milestone planning.
  • Removes use of the workflowscheduling workflow label to avoid blocking workflow progressing by requiring a synchronization point.
  • Removes use of the Stretch label to focus on Deliverables.
  • Updates use of Deliverable label for all milestone commitment issues. This will allow us to track Say/Do ratio
  • Adds explicit steps and dates to the Product Development Timeline
  • Updates milestone planning issue sections to match recent milestone planning templates
  • Updates tasks for milestone planning to match recent milestone planning templates
  • Temporarily removes iteration and follow up issues section. This will be updated in a follow up issue.
  • Updates heading levels to be more shallow
