The research effort issue would have a long life and close only at the full conclusion of the effort and associated spirals.
This would start the process, and ultimately flow through four steps:
- Step 1: Initiation - Under review and consideration.
- Step 2: Ready to Start - Ready for effort to begin.
- Step 3: Discovery - Actively researching.
- Step 4: Results - Final results being prepared/presented.
- Step 5: Concluded - Effort has ended.
As a part of initiation, the effort would be linked in the index for the year.
Also, the effort would have a folder of its own, and an associated README.md with a summary of the effort and status.
The spiral issues are used to track progress, feedback and concurrence for the increment.
An initial spiral of work occurs here. A document is created to track the progress and result of the spiral. This issue has been closed. It is observed in the Research Effort Issue above.
The next spiral of work occurs here. A document is created to track the progress and result of the spiral. This issue is open. It is observed in the Research Effort Issue above.
