Anya will provide an update and POs will have a change to ask questions. 

Support SIG meets Every Monday @ 7am PT

  • Consists of live customers 

P1 - Hotfix candidates (multiple live libraries have reported (or first library upgraded and an issue/no work arounds) - immediate fix is required; production show stopper

P2 - Need to be fixed by next release (

P3 - Team will get to it

  • Reporter: Log with hosting provider first before creating support ticket 
  • Reporter: Must Validate 
  • POs are encouraged to discuss with reports via JIRA comments or slack or etc
  • POs please give P1/P2 frequent updates to the SIG/reporter 
  •  POs appreciate the JIRA pings/follow-ups. 

Support SIG: Use the Release field (on an issue) to track when an issue will be done for a release

How are POs using the Release field?  a.) Use for managing backlog b.) use for managing support sig requests and defects 


PO takeaways

  1. Triage any issue reported by Support SIG 
  2. Be proactive in reaching out to the SIG and customers regarding reported issue 
  3. Keep Support SIG in the loop on reported issue's status. Give the SIG a sense of the complexity of the issue and when the issue can be/will be fixed. Communicate workarounds.
