Definitions Process Etc

Key processes:

U-bugs are managed by Sup Man, must be posted into mantis, estimated and fixed ASAP. Decide if they require Emerg Release.
Non Urgent Bugs are managed through RFC

RFC (Requests For Changes) is a list of Non Urgent Bugs and changes to CT2 requested by users, managers, dev team, etc .
RFC is managed by Support Manager (Denise)
As request (that make sense) comes in, Denise/AG creates a mantis with ph="RFC"
RFC Review Meeting:
- is a regular bi-weekly meeting (Sup Man, Dev Man(KU), Sol Arc(Alex), PM(Perry))
- each request is given:
  - reviewed
  - given tentative solution (posted in mantis note)
  - given rough estimate (posted into emh/emhR fields with "r" prefix).
- SA time must be estimated es well.
- also at this point some requests might be combined, rejected, comments to Prod Man posted, etc. ** Also Dv field must be assigned (whenever possible to "any" or if not then to specific developer).

DQ (Development Queue) is a list of bugs and minor changes to the CT2 system approved for development by Product Manager (Marc)
DQ is managed by Support Manager (Denise)
This list has a limited number of items (max=40)
DQ is re-filled from RFC list through regular bi-weekly RFC2DQ Meetings (Sup Manager + Prod Manager). On this meeting approved record gets ph="DQ" and T defined.
Weekly DQ Development meet

Each DQ should have SOW (except bugs).

Each DQ mantis (except bugs) should have link to SOW in Description field.

SOW should be under appropriate wiki (example: tweaks to Trendset in Trendset wiki, etc)
