I also think the way we couple spec approval & reviews to the dev
cycles is counterproductive. We should be willing to accept and
review specs at any point in any cycle, and once approved they should
remain valid for a prolonged period of time - not require us to go
through re-review every new dev cycle as again that's just creating
extra burden. We should of course though reserve the right to unapprove
specs if circumstances change, invlidating the design for the previous
approval.
OMG, thank you SO much for bringing this up. I could not agree more
with the above paragraph. We can always amend a previously approved
spec with additional information based on followup conversations, but
taking the time to continually push new specs for review each cycle is
a colossal waste of time.
What I have been pushing for in Keystone is that all specs get submitted
against backlog. They get approved there, and then assigning them to a
specific release is a deliberate second change. Backlog reviews can be
approved at any point.
