RELEASE FOLLOW-UP REVIEW · Workflow idea

Give every release a clear place for its follow-up work.

Check a selected software project for new releases and prepare a tracking issue with the release name and source context. Let a maintainer verify the project, title, and proposed work before the issue is created or assigned.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A newly published release from a selected software project

“Prepare a project-tracking issue for each newly found release, include a reference to the release, and wait for maintainer approval before creating or assigning it.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps engineering teams make release follow-up visible in their project planning while keeping issue creation and ownership decisions with maintainers.

  1. Check the selected project for releases

    Review the projects the team has chosen and identify releases that have not yet been considered for follow-up.

  2. Confirm the release and its context

    Check the release name, date, source project, and available notes, and set aside uncertain or repeated entries.

  3. Prepare a proposed tracking issue

    Draft a concise title and description that link back to the release without claiming work or decisions that have not been verified.

  4. Review scope and ownership

    Have a maintainer check whether follow-up is needed and choose a suitable team or owner.

  5. Approve before creating or assigning

    Require explicit maintainer approval of the exact project, issue text, and any proposed owner before making a change.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A proposed release follow-up issue linked to its source release, ready for a project maintainer to approve or revise.

The handoff

A proposed release follow-up issue linked to its source release, ready for a project maintainer to approve or revise.

Keep in mind

A release may be duplicated, incomplete, or unrelated to the selected project. Confirm the release and issue details, avoid inventing work or assigning people without consent, and require a maintainer to approve creation and any assignment.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Select projects and release scope

Choose the projects to review and agree which release types or branches should be considered.

Define issue content and duplicate handling

Set a concise issue format, required release reference, and method for checking whether follow-up already exists.

Name maintainers and issue approvers

Identify who confirms release context, decides whether an issue is needed, and approves its owner.

Test new, repeated, and incomplete releases

Confirm new releases produce a proposal, existing issues are not duplicated, and incomplete details remain held for review.

Put your next idea to work.
