Ideas

Ideas hold feature requests and product suggestions worth keeping that are not bugs and are not ready to plan yet.

An idea usually starts as incoming feedback in Triage. Accept it when the request is worth keeping, but still needs a clearer problem, value, owner, or next step before it becomes an initiative.

Idea as a status

Idea is also a status. New initiatives or bugs created from the Backlog can start with Idea status so they stay in intake instead of pretending to be planned work.

Move an idea forward

Move an idea forward once you can answer:

• What problem or opportunity does it describe?
• Which customer, product, or goal does it affect?
• Who owns the next decision?
• Should it become an initiative, a bug, ongoing work, or a todo?
• Should it be planned now, shaped later, or declined?

If the idea arrived through triage, Triage Items explains how accepted, declined, and duplicate decisions are handled.
