# Triage Process and Github Labels for Angular 2
This document describes how the Angular team uses labels and milestones to triage issues on github.
This document describes how the Angular team uses labels and milestones
to triage issues on github. The basic idea of the new process is that
caretaker only assigns a component and type (bug, feature) label. The
owner of the component than is in full control of how the issues should
be triaged further.
# Issues and PRs
## Triaged vs Untriaged Issues
Once this process is implemented and in use, we will revisit it to see
if further labeling is needed.
Every triaged issue must have four attributes assigned to it:
## Components
* `priority` -- P0 through P4. P0 issues are "drop everything and do this now". P4 are nice to have.
* `component` -- Which area of Angular knowledge this relates to.
* `effort` -- Rough assessment of how much work this issue is. E.g. `effort: easy` means
"probably a few hours of work".
* `type` -- Whether this issue is a bug, feature, or other kind of task.
A caretaker should be able to determine which component the issue
belongs to. The components have a clear piece of source code associated
with it.
Untriaged issues are any issues in the queue that don't yet have these four attributes.
* `comp: animations`: `@matsko`
* `comp: benchpress`: `@tbosch`
* `comp: build/ci`: `@IgorMinar` -- All build and CI scripts
* `comp: common`: `@mhevery` -- This includes core components / pipes.
* `comp: core/compiler`: `@tbosch` -- Because core and compiler are very
intertwined, we will be treating them as one.
* `comp: forms`: `@kara`
* `comp: http`: `@jeffbcross`
* `comp: i18n`: `@vicb`
* `comp: metadata-extractor`: `@chuckjaz`
* `comp: router`: `@vsavkin`
* `comp: testing`: `@juliemr`
* `comp: upgrade`: `@mhevery`
* `comp: web-worker`: `@vicb`
* `comp: zone`: `@mhevery`
You can view a report of untriaged issues here, in our
[Angular Triage Dashboard](http://mhevery.github.io/github_issues/).
There are few components which are cross-cutting. They don't have
a clear location in the source tree. We will treat them as a component
even thought no specific source tree is associated with them.
Issues should also have a clear action to complete that can be addressed or resolved within the
scope of Angular 2. We'll close issues that don't meet these criteria.
* `comp: documentation`: `@naomiblack`
* `comp: packaging`: `@mhevery`
* `comp: performance`: `@tbosch`
* `comp: security`: `@IgorMinar`
## Type
What kind of problem is this?
* `type: RFC / discussion / question`
* `type: bug`
* `type: chore`
* `type: feature`
* `type: performance`
* `type: refactor`
## Caretaker Triage Process
It is the caretaker's responsibility to assign `comp: *` and `type: *`
to each new issue as they come in. The reason why we limit the
responsibility of the caretaker to these two labels is that it is
unlikely that without domain knowledge the caretaker could add any
additional labels of value.
## Component's owner Triage Process
At this point we are leaving each component owner to determine their own
process for their component.
It will be up to the component owner to determine the order in which the
issues within the component will be resolved.
### Assigning Issues to Milestones
@ -37,7 +84,10 @@ We aim to only have at most three milestones open at a time:
The [backlog](https://github.com/angular/angular/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+no%3Amilestone)
consists of all issues that have been triaged but do not have an assignee or milestone.
## Triaged vs Untriaged PRs
## Triaged vs Untrained PRs
PRs should also be label with a `comp: *` so that it is clear which
primary area the PR effects.
Because of the cumulative pain associated with rebasing PRs, we triage PRs daily, and
closing or reviewing PRs is a top priority ahead of other ongoing work.

PRs do not need to be assigned to milestones, unless a milestone release should be held for that
PR to land.
Victor (`vsavkin`) and Tobias (`tbosch`) are owners of the PR queue. Here is a list of [current
untriaged PRs](https://github.com/angular/angular/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+no%3Amilestone+is%3Apr+-label%3A%22pr_action%3A+cleanup%22+-label%3A%22pr_action%3A+merge%22+-label%3A%22pr_action%3A+review%22+-label%3A%22pr_action%3A+discuss%22+-label%3A%22pr_state%3A+blocked%22+-label%3A%22pr_state%3A+WIP%22+).
# Prioritization of Work
What should you be working on?
1. Any PRs that are assigned to you that don't have `pr_state: WIP` or `pr_state: blocked`
1. Any issues that are assigned to you in the lowest-numbered Milestone
1. Any issues that are assigned to you in any Milestone
If there are no issues assigned to you in any Milestone, pick an issue, self-assign it, and add
it to the most appropriate Milestone based on effort.
Here are some suggestions for what to work on next:
* Filter for issues in a component that you are knowledgeable about, and pick something that has a
high priority.
* Filter for any small effort task that has the special `cust: GT` or `cust:Ionic` tags,
and priority > P3.
* Add a new task that's really important, add `component`, `priority`, `effort`, `type` and
assign it to yourself and the most appropriate milestone.
# Labels Used in Triage
## Priority
How urgent is this issue? We use priority to determine what should be worked on in each new
milestone.
* `P0: critical` -- drop everything to work on this
* `P1: urgent` -- resolve quickly in the current milestone. people are blocked
* `P2: required` -- needed for development but not urgent yet. workaround exists, or e.g. new API
* `P3: important` -- must complete before Angular 2 is ready for release
* `P4: nice to have` -- a good idea, but maybe not until after release
## Effort
Rough, non-binding estimate of how much work this issue represents. Please change this assessment
for anything you're working on to better reflect reality.
* `effort: easy` -- straightforward issue that can be resolved in a few hours, e.g. < 1 day of work.
* `effort: medium` -- issue that will be a few days of work. Can be completed within a single
milestone.
* `effort: tough` -- issue that will likely take more than 1 milestone to complete.
<!-- We don't like these label names as
they're not absolute (what is one developer-hour, really?) but decided it wasn't worth arguing
over terms. -->
