  • Create a JIRA of type "Epic" for the new feature in Apache Ambari JIRA
  • Add the feature to the Features + Roadmap wiki and link it to the Epic created
  • The Epic should contain a high-level description that is easy to understand
  • The Epic should also contain the initial, detailed design (this can be in the form of a shared Google Doc for ease of collaboration, Word doc, pdf, etc)
  • Once the initial design is posted, announce to the dev mailing list to elicit feedback (Subject: [DISCUSS] Epic Name.  Be sure include a link to the Epic JIRA in the body).  It is recommended to ask for review feedback to be given by a certain date so that the review process does not drag on. 
  • Iterate on the design based on community feedback.  Incorporate multiple review cycles as needed.
  • Once the design is finalized, break it down into Tasks that are linked to the Epic
  • (Nice to have) Once the Tasks are defined, schedule them into sprints using the Agile Board so that it's easy to see who is working on what/when, what tasks remain but unassigned so the community can pick up work from the backlog, etc.
