[2019Q2] Recommendations- Receiving and Configuring Issue notifications and To Dos

Issues to be created around findings from the experience baseline mapping exercise..

  1. Explore how to improve the timeline or enrich with some other kind of activity log with varying and perhaps customizable granularity
  2. Add collision detection, permissions, and perhaps the ability to revert changes and edits
  3. Better educate a user on what a To Do is contextually
  4. Investigate the placement of Add To Do within the sidebar
  5. Allow a user to create a sense of priority if what they actually expect is a "todo list"
  6. Investigate how to allow the user to customize and break the to do down further to help them complete more granular tasks rather than just having a "To Do" on an entire issue.
  7. Give more real time feedback that a user has assigned themselves and allow them to undo quickly (toasts)
  8. Use copy and language that users would expect and is consistent with similar products or experience
  9. Rethink the hierarchy of older pages such as these email settings
  10. Be thoughtful with our error language/copy and be more conversational and friendly (speak like a human)
  11. Either allow the user to manually save settings or give real time feedback that it has been saved (toasts, small saving interactions)
  12. Better show the status of these settings and who they will apply to and effect
  13. Give users contextual help around what notifications are and the ramifications of turning them on or off
  14. Allow the user to customize where they want notifications at a more granular level (ie, issue description but not assignee changes) and perhaps do this contextually
  15. Allow a user to quickly undo any changes and give real time feedback (toasts)
  16. Notify the user as to where changes will be global to the issue (ie milestone) vs at a user level (ie to do) or perhaps rethink this grouping in the sidebar or if it belongs in the sidebar at all
  17. Allow users to prioritize, pin, or write notes on To Dos to make them more actionable in a long list
