This is a cross-council subteam that includes members of the ArchivesSpace User Advisory and Technical Advisory Councils. The Development Prioritization was created in January 2016 following a decision to split the former Features Prioritization and Testing team into two separate groups. On the basis of feature requests and bug reports in the development catalog, along with developer availability, this subteam prioritizes development work for each minor and major release. The subteam meets at least monthly.
Past prioritization criteria have included:
- Number of votes received in community voting round
- Voting for epics (if process is enacted by Prioritization group)
- Development prioritization surveys (last issued July 2016)
- Themes and epics targeted per release
- Sufficient specification (see Hydra Project for useful guidance as to what constitutes a well-documented story )
- Expertise and capacity of available developers
- Anecdotal evidence of community priorities, e.g. listserv discussion, email reports
Team responsibilities include:
- Select prioritized features and bugs for upcoming releases in collaboration with the ArchivesSpace Program Team
- Continual grooming of icebox and backlog including reviewing issues, verifying, de-duping 1
- Provide or obtain clarification for issues and secure from original reporters or provide details*
Team Leader Responsibilities:
- Schedule and facilitate meetings of Prioritization Subteam with Program Manager
1 As of March 2017, the ArchivesSpace Technical Lead, in conference with the Prioritization group, has proposed a revised bug reporting and feature request. Once implemented, the Prioritization group will resume grooming of icebox and backlog.
