Work package types 

... and when to use them

FEATURE

  • used for most functional increments built for the project

  • must be written with acceptance criteria to be testable by QA

  • usually is QAed by OpenProject

BUG

  • used for everything that does not work as expected and defined

  • must NOT be used for things that do not work but were not defined before

    • this is usually arguable, leading to the famous discussion of BUG vs FEATURE

IMPLEMENTATION

  • used as smaller, easier to review and merge chunks that are part of a bigger feature

  • developers could slice down every FEATURE or BUG into IMPLEMENTATION chunks to structure work and enable parallelization

  • is not QAed by OpenProject

TASK

  • used for non-development related issues
