Can we agree on this basic guideline, at least at a WMF Engineering & Product level?
"You should have a task assigned to yourself only when you are prepared to work on it." https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Project_management#Assigning_tasks In times of goals, sprints, and health check surveys... keeping a sane list of open assigned tasks should be an important matter. The contrary doesn't help to anybody, even less to yourself. Starting point: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/assigned/ Interesting data and links below. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Quim Gil <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 8:36 AM Subject: Your oldest Phabricator tasks To: Wikimedia developers <[email protected]> Somehow I got into the habit of checking this Phabricator report linking to the oldest open task assigned to each user: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/report/?order=-oldest-all Your username probably appears in this list. If not, it's probably time to take a task and assign it to you. :) There are 223 users with tasks assigned, from which 132 have a task assigned that was created at least one year ago. At least in the upper section of the list, most tasks welcome a fresh look, and your help is welcome (starting by your own tasks). There is a convenient tooltip showing the title of the tasks linked. There is a complementary view of the same list, sorting users by number of tasks assigned. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/report/?order=-total I'm currently 20th with 24 tasks assigned, which is already unrealistic. You might want to re-check your assigned tasks for everybody's benefit and your own.
