Development Guidelines - Process

For cross-functional teams working on building a template, the following guidelines are recommended.

• Create labels that reflect the different dimensions for features and operations. For example:

Label Name	Description
AI	AI implementation and implementation
Infra AZD	AZD related
Infra Bicep	Infra issues related to Bicep bugs or support
Infra Terraform	Infra issues related to Terraform bugs or support
backend	Application feature backend
frontend	Application feature frontend
Docs	Repo docs, guidelines, promo videos
Managed Identity	Security and auth
Blocked	Mark a task as blocked and establish dependency
Dependency	Establishes a dependency requirement

These labels can be used in addition to default labels for bug, enhancement, etc

Issues

Once the labels are in place, create issues that can be distributed and tracked to provide concise and concrete overview of progress, blockers, requests for help, etc

Assign the task to the current owner, so they can be contacted.

Use the comments in the issue to initiate a conversation, request dependecies resolution, ask for help, request clarification, etc

When applicable, use the GitHub Projects feature to track project completion.

Create relevant milestones

Create milestones that issues can be assigned to so ETA can be better established and completion progress assessed.
