App Ops Desk · Issue #46

Triage beta feedback without drowning

External beta users send signal. Without buckets you treat every suggestion as a defect and ship nothing.

Read time: 5 min Feedback Process Pairs with Issues #10 and #43
One action this week: Create 4 labels in your issue tracker: must-fix-before-ship, ship-with-known-issue, nice-to-have, noise.

Buckets

  • must-fix-before-ship (crash / blocking)
  • ship-with-known-issue (minor, documented in What’s New)
  • nice-to-have (track separately, not release-blocking)
  • noise (thank, then archive)

Failure modes

  • Changing scope for every feature request
  • Ignoring a crash because it only happened once
  • No one owns the decision to ship-with-known-issue

Bottom line

Triaging feedback is a product decision, not a popularity contest.
