Triage and Prioritisation

How we prioritize work and manage issues in Linear.

  • The bug report and feature request workflows feed into our Triage boards in Linear
  • Currently it's Greg's responsibility to pull issues out of Linear into a Project, and ultimately into a Sprint
  • Issues are prioritised based on:
    • Roadmap (based on business plan and the requirements of our partners, Gothenburg University and Trauma NZ)
    • Pressure/pain
      • The degree to which something is blocking our own staff and partners
    • Proximity
      • How close is this request to what's already being worked on?
    • Complexity/difficulty
      • How hard is it to build?
    • Generalisability & force multiplication
      • Does the request have value for multiple use cases?
      • Does the request have many positive downstream consequences?
