I really like this model that Bryan deployed into this project. (I'll get the email
out later from the meeting where we discussed this so you can have the audio/visual
discussion we had for reference.)
One social-workflow note I want to focus on within this structure are a few locations
where writers, editors, and reviewers can have some easy back-and-forth on ideas, changes,
direction, wording, etc. without moving the card back and forth between lanes.
Lanes in this board seem to represent who has responsibility for the content at that
moment--I've heard this described as, "Who has the pen?", in the concept of
a shared document but only one person can write/edit at a time.
What I'm envisioning is that e.g. during the Drafting phase, a writer may collaborate
with Shaun and other writers on language, approach, wording, etc. all while the card stays
in the Drafting lane--the pen is in the hand of the writer. Similarly, during the Editing
phase, Brian might be doing some back-and-forth with a writer to decide something. Or an
editor might do a whole batch of edits, and simply move the card back to Drafting or Draft
Review.
I guess I would say, maybe we should leave it up to individual writers, reviewers, and
editors at what granularity level they want to have back-and-forth while holding the card
in their board lane, and what granularity where they want to hand the card back for
someone else to hold the pen.
