Planning Triage

Quick-score an enhancement, bug, or feedback item using the impact-first triage framework. Creates an issue if approved.

Planning Triage

Quick-score an item and determine its disposition.

Input

$ARGUMENTS

The item to triage (bug report, feature request, user feedback, competitor feature).

Process

1. Understand the Item

Parse the input to identify:

  • Type: Bug, Feature, Enhancement, Competitive Response
  • Description: What is being requested or reported
  • Context: Why it matters (user impact, competitive pressure, etc.)

2. Score

Apply the impact-first scoring framework:

Score = (Impact + Urgency) / Effort
Factor12345
ImpactNo effect on usersMinor convenienceModerate engagementSignificant daily valueCritical for adoption/retention
UrgencySomeday/nice-to-haveNext quarterThis monthThis weekToday/blocking
EffortMulti-week project~1 week~2-3 days~hours~minutes

3. Rate Each Factor

For each factor, provide the score (1-5) and brief justification.

4. Calculate and Interpret

Score = (Impact + Urgency) / Effort

>= 3.0 -> IMMEDIATE ACTION
1.5-3.0 -> BACKLOG
< 1.5  -> DEFER

5. Disposition

If IMMEDIATE (>= 3.0):

  • Create issue with High/Urgent priority (based on issue_tracker.provider in config)
  • If feature: recommend /coco:planning-session tactical
  • If bug: recommend creating hotfix branch

If BACKLOG (1.5-3.0):

  • Create issue with Normal priority
  • Tag for next operational planning session

If DEFER (< 1.5):

  • Document the rationale
  • Do NOT create an issue
  • Note for quarterly strategic review
