Consolidate Plan categories

Melissa Ushakov requested to merge mushakov-master-patch-13423 into master

As a follow-up to our Plan direction revamp, we are cleaning up Plan categories!

Category Consolidation

  • We are consolidating Issue Tracking and Boards into a new category called Team Planning.
  • We are consolidating Epics and Roadmaps into a new category called Portfolio Management
Why is this change being made?
  • These names align more closely with the terminology that analysts and our competitors use.
  • These groupings will encompass a full use case and align to the guidance in the handbook about the scope of a category Categories are high-level capabilities that may be a standalone product at another company.

Category Dissolution

  • We are changing Time Tracking from a category to a feature.
Why is this change being made?
  • We are not planning to build out a full-time tracking offering.
  • We will make incremental improvements to our issue-based time tracking features to support the Enterprise Agile Planning use case.
