I love that we're starting to formalize this.

However, reading between the lines of the proposal as written, I hear "we have little to no confidence in our code and not much trust in our team roles". My tl;dr is: 1.) can we focus on getting more of the "safety" and confidence pieces covered earlier in the process/during the sprint (earlier testing, better test coverage, signoff) so that the beta testing becomes more of a formality rather than a major undertaking and 2.) could we scale down the voting and escalation pieces to streamline things and hand off more of the testing pieces to QA?

 * I'm going to remove the voting concept. We're planning to stage gate all feature cards through separate columns, which in a way means anyone can block. But in practice the Product Manager can overrule. --ABaso (WMF) (talk) 19:37, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
