Triage Process and Github Labels for Angular 2

This document describes how the Angular team uses labels and milestones to triage issues on github.

Issues and PRs

Triaged vs Untriaged Issues

Every triaged issue must have four attributes assigned to it:

  • 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.

Untriaged issues are any issues in the queue that don't yet have these four attributes.

You can view a report of untriaged issues here, in our Angular Triage Dashboard.

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.

Assigning Issues to Milestones

Any issue that is being worked on must have:

  • An assignee: The person doing the work.
  • A Milestone: When we expect to complete this work.

We aim to only have at most three milestones open at a time:

  • Closing Milestone: A milestone with a very small number of issues, about to release.
  • Current Milestone: Work that we plan to complete within one week.
  • Next Milestone: Work that is > 1 week but current for the team.

The backlog consists of all issues that have been triaged but do not have an assignee or milestone.

Triaged vs Untriaged PRs

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.

Every triaged PR must have a pr_action label assigned to it and an assignee:

  • pr_action: review -- work is complete and comment is needed from the assignee.
  • pr_action: cleanup -- more work is needed from the current assignee.
  • pr_action: discuss -- discussion is needed, to be led by the current assignee.
  • pr_action: merge -- the PR should be merged. Add this to a PR when you would like to trigger automatic merging following a successful build. This is described in COMMITTER.md.

In addition, PRs can have the following states:

  • pr_state: LGTM -- PR may have outstanding changes but does not require further review.
  • pr_state: WIP -- PR is experimental or rapidly changing. Not ready for review or triage.
  • pr_state: blocked -- PR is blocked on an issue or other PR. Not ready for review or triage.

Note that an LGTM state does not mean a PR is ready to merge: for example, a reviewer might set the LGTM state but request a minor tweak that doesn't need further review, e.g., a rebase or small uncontroversial change.

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.

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
  2. Any issues that are assigned to you in the lowest-numbered Milestone
  3. 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.

Type

What kind of problem is this?

  • type RFC / discussion / question
  • type bug
  • type chore
  • type feature
  • type performance
  • type refactor

Special Labels

action:design

More active discussion is needed before the issue can be worked on further. Typically used for type: feature or type: RFC/discussion/question

See all issues that need discussion

cla

Managed by googlebot. Indicates whether a PR has a CLA on file for its author(s). Only issues with cla:yes should be merged into master.

cust

This is an issue causing user pain for early adopter customers cust: GT or cust: Ionic.

WORKS_AS_INTENDED

Only used on closed issues, to indicate to the reporter why we closed it.
