Planning Done Checklist

The following items must be completed on the Epic prior to moving the Epic from Planning to the ToDo status

• Priority+ is set by engineering
• Epic must be Linked to a +Parent Feature
• Target version+ must be set
• Assignee+ must be set
• (Enhancement Proposal is Implementable
• (No outstanding questions about major work breakdown
• (Are all Stakeholders known? Have they all been notified about this item?

  1. Please use the “Discussion Needed: Service Delivery Architecture Overview” checkbox to facilitate the conversation with SD Architects. The SD architecture team monitors this checkbox which should then spur the conversation between SD and epic stakeholders. Once the conversation has occurred, uncheck the “Discussion Needed: Service Delivery Architecture Overview” checkbox and record the outcome of the discussion in the epic description here.
  2. The guidance here is that unless it is very clear that your epic doesn’t have any managed services impact, default to use the Discussion Needed checkbox to facilitate that conversation.
