Grid Release Timeline

Introduction

Each grid release follows a clearly defined timeline. This ensures all the tasks are done properly.

Template

Each grid release should have in its project kanban one issue containing the template below, adjusted with the current grid release.

# X.YZ Grid Release Timeline

We provide the overall guideline for X.YZ grid release. Making sure all those steps are done in order will ensure the grid release is done efficiently.

- [ ] Stakeholders meet and define the grid release specs
- [ ] Specs are turned into stories in a grid release project kanban
- [ ] Stakeholders confirm the stories as fulfilling the specs and grid release goals (with Grid+stories ETA)
  - Make sure not to add stories in the middle of the sprint
    - If there is a need, it needs to be agreed upon
- [ ] Comms circles write a forum post explaining the specs of the grid release, preparing community members to the grid release GEP
- [ ] Stories are worked on and completed
- When a grid release project is completed (all stories are completed)
  - [ ] Stakeholders meet and review the stories, confirming they are correctly done
  - [ ] A post summarizing the GEP is posted on the forum, written by Ops (Sabrina)
- [ ] When the GEP is passed, devs and ops implement the new features of the grid (e.g. publish to all networks)
- [ ] Comms circle communicate with the community that the grid release is done
