Team Practices Group/FY2016Q3 Work Tracking

Purpose and Goals

 * 1) Document TPG's work for FY2016Q3
 * 2) During the quarter, for internal team planning and tracking
 * 3) After the quarter, for quarterly planning, annual planning, strategic planning, and individual performance records.
 * 4) Pilot SPDPP and evidence-based-planning techniques of work tracking with Mediawiki and Phabricator.

Short Proposal
Do detailed, categorized-by-goal Phabricator work breakdown for all projects, and have at least a high-level bullet point covering everything TPGers do in Q3. I.e., not a bullet point for each five-minute hallway chat, but have high-level categories so that, in theory, everything we do that takes more than a few minutes has at least a high-level bucket it falls into. See bottom for example/proposal buckets.
 * 1) Make a Phabricator Task + Milestone  for each Quarterly Goal
 * 2) Make a Phabricator Task + Milestone for each Standing Goal
 * 3) Note that the current "Standing Goals" are not goals.  Either call them "Standing Activities" or reword them into goals.
 * 4) Review all Q2 Standing Activities and roll them over or close them
 * 5) Make Phabricator Task + Milestone for each really big Standing Goal Q3 activity
 * 6) Really big = ?.  100+ hours?  50+ hours (10% of 1 person for the quarter)
 * 7) Prioritize all of our high-level goals (Quarterly Goals + Standing Goals/Activities)
 * 8) Do T-shirt estimation on our tasks for Q3
 * 9) Goal is to create enough big placeholder Epics that TPG's Q3 Scope of Work grows less than 100% during Q3..
 * 10) Each week:
 * 11) In Triage, make sure all TPG work is categorized
 * 12) Each big project (Strategy, Core Fraction, etc) has a weekly planning meeting.  Agenda includes:
 * 13) Check last week's planned tasks and, if they are not done, break them down smaller.
 * 14) Review the goal and, if it's not done and doesn't currently have Next Step tasks, make more tasks.
 * 15) In Team Review,
 * 16) do similar review quickly for smaller projects.
 * 17) (Or maybe move this to a separate half-hour of Weekly or Bi-weekly or monthly planning?)
 * 18) Review the "actually closed this week" report and consider adjusting team priorities.

Questions
Is the structure of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T123780 and related Epics and Milestones correct? (Make picture)

What do we need to do to get the list of Q3 stuff in Phab?
 * 1) get all items into Phab
 * 2) agree on level of detail for items to be Milestones
 * 3) remove other things
