Echo engineering team lines of effort

[lowellrex]

Echo engineering team's objective is to enable all teams to track and act on appeals as they move through the board. To that end we have four major lines of effort:

1. Viewing information about a single appeal
2. Displaying collections of appeals
3. Representing work on appeals as elements of a task tree
4. Staggered pilot releases of the above functionality to different Board teams

The broader Caseflow team is tracking the roadmap and timelines on a shared mural and using a waffle board to track various tickets that need to be completed.

In July, the Echo team adopted a strategy of voting for determining the level-of-effort estimate for each ticket. A dedicated Github ticket details this initiative in more detail.

1. Single appeal view

This initiative encompasses all of the work that will be done on the case details page. It includes case timeline and the various case details refinements.

2. Collection of appeals views

This includes case search as well as the many different incarnations of the queue table views (judges, attorneys, colocated, generic, all cases view).

3. Task tree

This is somewhat of a catch-all for the plumbing needed to make the task model work: organizational membership, task actions improvements, and maturing/extension of the task model.

4. Pilots

Currently we are piloting the queue functionality with the co-located administrative support team, Board judges, VSOs, and the quality review team. Upcoming pilots include Mail, litigation support, FOIA, and AOD.

Election sprint (5-18 Nov) priorities

Hey @joeyyang @rkreyhsig, for the next few sprints I am going to attach tickets to the priorities that we lay out in sprint planning so we have a single reference point for which tickets we should focus on. We probably won't finish all of these tickets, but I think it could be a helpful way to guide the work we do during this two week period. Let's see how this works for us, and let me know when y'all think of ways to make this more useful. Also, I will continue to keep the waffle board up to date if that fits your personal taste more.
