BACKLOG_MASTER

Backlog Item Tracking Standard

Canonical backlog tracking owner: dev/build/ProjectInstructions/addendums/team_backlog_sod_eod_standard.md.

This file is the authoritative source for assigned product work.

This document is updated as work status changes, including Owner assignment, reprioritization, completion, deferral, accepted PRs, SOD review, and EOD review.

BACKLOG_MASTER.md is now the canonical team/product-area assignment and status source. Future backlog changes must update this structure directly.

Each product area must include status and percent complete.

Every active team owns an active backlog when it has assigned work.

Backlog entries in this file follow the canonical field list, including:

  • Name
  • Description
  • Product area
  • Status
  • Current completion percentage
  • Active PR, when one exists
  • Next milestone
  • Remaining work
  • Blocking dependencies
  • Owning team
  • Source or reference

Completion percentages are updated at SOD, after every accepted PR, and at EOD.

The backlog is the authoritative source for determining the next logical PRs.

Cancelled / Not Doing

Environment Isolation & Developer Experience

Status: CANCELLED / NOT DOING

Items removed from backlog:

Four-Team Backlog Alignment

Current OWNER clarification:

  • The backlog alignment below preserves the current Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta ownership model.
  • Golf is the only active replacement for the retired prior lane.
  • Golf has no standing backlog ownership area in this file unless OWNER assigns one.
  • Golf work may be OWNER-assigned, branch-backed, PR-backed, release, review packet, or cleanup work and must not silently replace Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, or Delta ownership.
  • Historical PR references and branch names for retired non-canonical lanes are not renamed by this clarification.
