As a previous engineer and now turned product manager. I like to frame these technical investment work items as a pair [Item 1] + [Item 2]. This has drastically improved the understanding and commitment from the rest of the business to fund and allow for "non-feature" work.
Item 1: Security, Performance, Stability
Item 2: Fix, Update, Upgrade, Improvement
Examples: "Security Fix", "Performance Improvement", "Stability Update", etc.
- bjelkeman-again 8y agoWhat is the difference between Update and Upgrade?
- BerislavLopac 8y agoI have usually used "apt-get" as a good guideline: "apt-get update" updates the definitions of available packages, while "apt-get upgrade" retrieves and installs the actual packages. In a nutshell, "update" doesn't change the operation of the system, while "upgrade" probably does. In SemVer parlance, an upgrade is the major version shift.
- gizmo686 8y agoApt-get upgrade should be the equivelent of a minor version shift. A major version shift would be do-release-upgrade. Apt-get update doesn't update the system at all, it updates apt.
- BerislavLopac 8y agoFair point, I stand corrected -- apt's update/upgrade does not directly map to SemVer version numbers.
- lliamander 8y agoI'd also like to know the difference between Update and Improvement. I like where this framework is going.
