The planning sessions will be driven by our Release Planning Board, which organizes features based on their supported-by field.

Prerequisites for features to be considered in Open Planning

For a feature to be included in the Open Planning, the following conditions must be met:

  • Status must be 'Backlog' – Committers and Expert Groups can set this status after the feature is fully refined.
  • All categories in the feature template must be filled – Do not delete any sections from the template.
  • Milestone is NOT set – This will be assigned during the Open Planning session.
  • Contributor and Committer must be assigned.
  • Supported-by must be set.

During the session, if there is a common alignment among the participants, the feature milestone can be set to 25.03, meaning it will be developed in the upcoming release.

Important Notes and Hints

  • Keep the board clean – there are still features with older milestones that have not yet been completed.
  • Do not delete any sections from the feature template, except for KITs.
  • For KITs, only the Contributor, Committer, and Description fields need to be filled.

For any questions or further information, feel free to reach out via our mailing list or join us in the Tractus-X Matrix channel.

We look forward to your participation and collaboration! 🚀
