Finishing a project

→ When is it handed over to module, for regular maintenance?

  • What is the end of “bug fixing as part of a project”? > Ok to release in current state.
    Project lands, we keep people on it to address bugs for a while. Especially high priority.
  • What is regular bug fixing / maintenance? > Bugs that occur after that initial “stable enough” release.
  • Rule of thumb: we should not add technical debt on the plate of modules

Dev Talk feedback threads

→ How long should be leave them open once a project is completed?
Can be kept opened or can be closed, depends on what the developers wish to get out of them.
