Impediments dimension
The impediments dimension can optionally be used to surface challenges encountered while implementing a given change, such as a high level of technical debt, or unclear requirements. This bubbles up into the reports for management to bring the appropriate level of support.
Label | Meaning |
Dependencies | Change is made difficult by dependencies (e.g., blocked by another change). |
Knowledge gap | Change is made difficult by a lack of available knowledge (e.g., documentation, code familiarity). |
Technical debt | Change is made difficult by technical debt (e.g., high coupling, lack of tests). |
Unclear requirements | Change is made difficult by unclear requirements. |
The impediments dimension can be customized.
The impediments dimension is published by default. To disable them on a selected installation:
- Configure the installation for which you want to remove effort labels.
- Toggle "Impediments labels" for this installation and save your changes. The corresponding labels will automatically be created or deleted by Echoes at the destination (the duration of the operation may depend on the number of repositories impacted).
