Principles for backlog upkeeping
-
No reminders. Only things we intend to do.
-
No wonderings. If we need to discuss and debate, RFCs are a better choice.
-
Good titles are gold. Good titles that say what needs to be done, or what is wrong are pure gold.
-
Use tags generously.
-
Ready to goreally meansready. If any clarification or action is needed before starting implementation then it is not ready. -
Stale gets deleted Items not updated for more then 5 months should be cancelled.
Please bear in mind that this is what I am following now. I aim to update this post as I go along since this is mostly a reminder for myself.
