# Waku Project Management
Tracks/coordinate effort/tasks that targets Waku as a product across implementations (production readiness, scalability, etc).
## Teams
The Waku Team is currently split in the following subteams:
- Waku Research
- Waku Development (nwaku, js-waku, go-waku)
- Waku Eco Dev (DevRel, Docs)
## Work Tracking and Reporting Guidelines
### Requirements
The current reporting requirements are 2 folds:
#### 1. Weekly Reporting
Weekly reporting by subteam of progress on milestones.
#### 2. Monthly Reporting
Monthly reporting is now handled by the Logos insight team.
### Terminology
| Name | Number of | Timeframe | Team Scope | Owner | Description |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Priority Track | 3-5 | Set yearly | Whole Team | Waku Lead | Focus set for the year, must be aligned with Logos Collective's priorities. |
| (Key) Milestone | 1-3 per year | Set yearly-ish | Most subteams | Waku Lead | Key achievements for the Waku project, historical milestones. |
| Epic | Several per milestone | Set for a milestone, delivered monthly | Several subteams or external team (e.g. DST) | Team Member (likely a lead) | Chunk of a _Milestone_ across all clients. |
| Task | Many per Epic | Set monthly-ish, delivered weekly | One subteam or individual | Team Member | May be one or several piece of work, client specific. |
Owner = person responsible for the delivery and related reporting, may not be doing all the work.
### GitHub Usage
A _Milestone_:
- MUST have a matching GH issue in the https://github.com/waku-org/pm repo with `milestone` label assigned.
- MUST have a GH Milestone in https://github.com/waku-org/pm repo, to which relevant _Epics_ are added.
- SHOULD have a roadmap to delivery done at planning phase, the GH milestone is then used to track progress.
An _Epic_:
- MUST have a matching GH issue in the https://github.com/waku-org/pm with `epic` label assigned.
- MUST have a label with format `E:<epic name>` created across all relevant https://github.com/waku-org/ repos (see [labels.yml](./.github/labels.yml)).
- SHOULD be added to a GH Milestone.
- MAY list _Tasks_ present in other repos.
A _Task_:
- MAY be tracked as a todo item in a GH Issue (_Task_ or _Epic_),
- OR MAY be tracked as a single GH issue
- that MUST be labelled with related _Epic_ label (`E:...`),
- OR MAY be tracked as a GH Pull Request
- that MUST be labelled with related _Epic_ label (`E:...`),
- MUST have an _acceptance criteria_ and/or a list of _tasks_ (that can be other GH issues).
Which means, in terms of _navigation_:
- Work for a Milestone is described in the related GitHub issue and tracked in the GitHub milestone.
- In the GitHub milestone, we have a list of _Epics_ to be achieved, the _Epics_ are being closed as the work is done across all clients.
- To look at remaining work for an _Epic_, one need to look at all issues/PRs (_Tasks_) with the corresponding _Epic_ label (`E:...`)
### Reporting
**Monthly**:
Handled by insight team
**Weekly**: Report progress on each **active** _Epic_ or _Task_ per subteam.
Every Friday, all team members must add a comment to the GH **issues** (not pull request) they own and worked on the past week or planned to work on next week.
If work is done on several _Tasks_ related to the same _Epic_, team member is free to do their weekly update in common parent issue.
The comment must have the following MarkDown format:
```md
**Weekly Update**
- _achieved_: what was achieved this week; must remain on one line.
- _next_: what will be worked on next week; must also remain on one line.
- _blocker_: any blocking items. Do not include the line if no blocker.
```
**Omit the lines which are not relevant.**
On Monday, project lead or responsible person for report can run the [milestone-update](https://github.com/fryorcraken/milestone-update) script to generate a report and post it in the Logos Discord.
