Increase team ownership & milestone issue completion
Background
We would like to increase team ownership and increase consistency in overall weight delivered in a milestone.
Discussion in this Slack thread: https://gitlab.slack.com/archives/C01BPM66KNE/p1692259036425809
Goals
- Increase feelings of ownership.
- Drive towards the goal of closing out all the issues in the milestone.
- Improve milestone estimation to reduce untouched rollover issues.
Solutions
Option 1: EM Assignment of Issues
Summary: In the week or two prior to a new milestone starting, EM reviews issues scheduled for the following milestone and divvys out work by assigning engineers.
Option 2: Use Engineer Labels
Summary: Use personalized labels to indicate "expected" engineer for an issue, without the ownership or signal of assignment.
Option 3: Use Planning Issue for Assignments
Summary: Include assignment of issues for the milestone within table in planning issue.
