Hasty Treat - Feature + Release Planning

Syntax - Tasty Web Development Treats

In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes talk about feature and release planning — dealing with bugs, task management, best practices, and more!

4:06 - Wes:

• Features are logged into software (Github, Jira, etc.)
• I use a Kanban board - I bubble them up and down in the order in which I want to release them
• I don’t plan for Q1, Q1, etc…
• Tear off an issue, tackle it, test and deploy.

10:39 - Scott:

• All issues/features get a priority tag (e.g. p1 → p4) regardless of the system
• Bugs go in Github
• Features and platform improvements go in Notion
• Table of priorities (with git branch, lead dev, release number, emoji icon, what it contains, etc.)
