Feature Lifecycle

The lifecycle of a feature begins with ticket submission and follows a flow of prioritization, planning, development, and production deployment.

Key Steps for Features

1. Ticketing & Submission

   • Feature requests are submitted by internal teams or external partners.

2. Backlog Review & Prioritization (every 2 weeks)

   • The team decides to accept, postpone, or reject the feature request.

3. Roadmap Integration & PI Planning (every 3 months)

   • Accepted features are added to the roadmap and detailed during PI Planning.

4. Sprint Execution

   • Features are assigned to sprints, where they are developed, tested, and refined.

5. Release & Post-Release Review

   • Once ready, features are deployed to production and undergo a post-release review.

6. Rework / Loop Back

   • If they are not ready, features are either carried over to the next sprint (low complexity) or deferred to the next PI cycle (high complexity).
