Blueprint State Flow

State Definitions

Blueprints can be in any of the following states:

New

New blueprints have just been created and are being triaged for the first time. They are not yet approved, and thus should not be targeted for a milestone or release.

InfoWait

Sometimes before a blueprint can be approved, Drivers need more information and will put a blueprint into theInfoWait state.

Targeted

Once a blueprint is approved and has a definite worker who is currently working on the code, it is in the Targeted state. This means it has a series (like 'Icehouse') and a milestone (like 'icehouse-2') set. If a blueprint is not going to land in the current series, it can be targeted at the placeholder series and milestone, 'future' and 'next', respectively.

Abandoned

If the primary folks interested in a blueprint appear to have left the scene or are no longer interested, the blueprint will move into the Abandoned state. In addition, if timely feedback is not available, an InfoWait blueprint will be moved into Abandoned.

Wishlist

If a blueprint is approved but no one can currently work on it, it goes into the Wishlist state. Also, even if the original parties interested in the blueprint have left the scene, a blueprint may be Wishlist rather than Abandoned if the Drivers group particularly wants the blueprint to be worked on.

Rejected

Some times, a proposal does not fit with the Driver's view of the project. In those cases, the blueprint will be moved into the Rejected state.

State Flow

The following diagram shows some of the transitions blueprints might go through, along with brief explanations.
