This should instead be:

  • Whatever you're working on needs an issue somewhere
  • Every day look through the open issues assigned to you
    • Do they have a recent status? If not, add one.
    • Is the status still accurate? If not, fix it.
    • Does the status have a time component? If not, add when others can expect the next action to be completed.
    • Is the issue blocked? If so, reach out to whomever is blocking the work. Push it forward.
    • Is the issue's purpose and next action clear? If not, go get clarity.
    • Is the work still relevant? If not, or if it's unclear and you're unable to get clarity, add a comment describing that's the case and unassign yourself.
  • Do you have too many issues to go through and update?
    • You need to throttle your workload to what you can keep in your head and a) make daily progress on and b) finish within the span of a release (or shorter).
