Solution and its types
Something you plan to build, typed as New feature, Improvement or Cross-cutting.
A solution is something you plan to build. Solutions make up your backlog.
Statuses: Not planned, Planned, Delivered, Abandoned. They follow the releases the solution is in. See Statuses and automatic changes.
Types
- New feature — creates a new feature when it ships.
- Improvement — changes an existing feature.
- Cross-cutting — touches several features at once.
- Not typed yet — still an idea. It can't be planned, delivered or added to a release until you pick a type.
What happens when it ships
- New feature: the new feature inherits the solution's links (KPIs, needs, segments, research), acceptance criteria, scores, notes and History.
- Improvement / Cross-cutting: the affected features get a History entry; their links stay as they are.
Solutions are ranked by their Impact score.
