Dear product steering team,

We would like to take this opportunity to provide you with some updates surrounding product steering.

Issues & Feature request process

As discussed in our previous product steering call we decided to streamline this process. This means the separate product-steering repository has been deleted and that the 2 issues on it are transferred to the openzaak repository where all openzaak issues live. After speaking with the developers, we introduced the label ‘product-steering’ to indicate these are issues the product steering group should discuss or decide upon.

We already taken the liberty to select a few good first product-steering group issues to discuss for our next meeting which you can find on the project board “Backlog voorbereiding” in the column intake.

• Feature requests, bugs, improvements:
  https://github.com/open-zaak/open-zaak/issues

• To create new feature requests:
  https://github.com/open-zaak/open-zaak/issues/new?assignees=&labels=product-steering&template=feature_request.md&title=[FEATURE-REQUEST]

• Project board “Backlog voorbereiding”:

Technical steering backlog pruning

In an effort to reduce the clutter in the backlog, the Technical steering team spent time reviewing and pruning what is already there. Part of this review included identifying issues that are high priority from a technical point of view in order to provide input to product steering.

The current state of their work can be seen here: https://hackmd.io/jmp49FfpRxa9NLg6RAhYTw

We can’t expect to discuss everything in one meeting, so we’ve labeled a few for discussion in the first product steering meeting. We also placed these issues on our product backlog.

We hope that the product steering team will gradually work through issues from tech steering in the upcoming product steering meetings.

New member for product steering group

During the pruning session the team noticed an issue from Johan Groenen of TiltShift asking to join the product steering group. The issue was created in December so it would be good to let him know he is welcome as soon as possible. If there are no objections to him joining we will invite Tiltshift to the upcoming product steering meeting.
(this is the issue with the request: https://github.com/open-zaak/open-zaak/issues/748)

Kind regards,

Eric & Felix
