Status Transitions
Todo: User stories are placed here when ready to be picked up. The user story is estimated and has a “Fix Version”.
Blocked/Questionable: Move the story here if some impediments or uncertainties need resolution.
In Progress: Move the story to In Progress when development begins.
In Code Review: After development is complete and a PR is ready, move the story to In Code Review. If it is a bug, the RCA field should be fulfilled by the developer.
In Deployment: After deploying the code to the Kitfox Dev Rancher Environment for developer testing and validation, move the story to “In Deployment” and merge the PR to the master branch. All comments in pull requests should be marked as resolved before the merge.
In QA: After deployment to the Kitfox Testing Environment, and when the QA team begins testing, move the story to In QA.
In PO Review: Once QA has verified the story and it's ready for Product Owner (PO) review, move the story to In PO Review.
Done: Move the story to Done after the PO has accepted the story and there are no critical issues remaining.
