Guidelines for Engineering managers/leads/Project managers/Program managers (Admins/Editors in the platform)


1. Prepare yourself for the stand-up by checking out Trace to analyze the flags associated with artifacts executed in the current sprint

3. Checkout the flags associated with an artifact (issue, PR, Feature branch, etc.), plan/review the resolution with the owner of the artifact

4. Flags that are not being auto-resolved, create evidence for flags in Jira (for technology flags) for resolution in current or planning sprint
