v0.32.0 — Triage

Triage — a fourth board, and the weekly plan it replaces

The board had a day (Me, Team) and a plan by columns (Project), and nothing between them: work that was accepted but not for now went into today's Unplanned and was done next, whatever else was planned. Triage is the weeks laid side by side — people across, weeks down — so that putting something in ahead of something else means moving that something else.

• A week is stacked in the order somebody triaging wants to meet it: overdue first, then the project's work, then the processes', then the zones.
• Weeks work still owes are drawn before they exist — a process's coming turns, a recurrent card's next rounds — as outlines nothing can be done to.
• A team's capacity is the roster's number, or what the team has actually been finishing over the four complete weeks before this one.

The weekly plan is gone

Its panel, the wed/fri bands and the actions that moved cards between them are removed. What the panel held is now the grid's: a card placed in a week stands there all week, in its person's column or in Unassigned when nobody has taken it.

The × says which of two things it is doing

It used to decide for itself, so taking a card off the board needed the gesture twice. Now the request carries the answer — unassign leaves the card in the week or column that still holds it, off the board takes it away — and the board asks before it acts. Each is taken at its word: neither a Project-board slot nor a process turn is this board's to destroy.

A person answers for their own board

Work is added for oneself only as unplanned; the × reaches only what the person put there themselves; a drag reorders inside a zone and never between them. Instead of removing what they will not do, a person has a new stage: refuse — their answer and nobody else's, which leaves the card standing on the team's grid for the lead to answer.

Breaking changes

• spec.plan {band, week} becomes a flat spec.week, which must be a Monday.
• take-into-plan / release-from-plan, view=weekly and the ?week= selector are gone.
• POST …/actions/remove loses from and gains intent.
• boardservice.Service.Remove takes a RemoveIntent. It is a string type, so an old call passing an untyped constant still compiles and silently degrades to the intentless gesture — pass Unassign, OffBoard, or "".
• A stage name the board does not have is now refused rather than stored.
