Write actionable, closable tickets
Raw
ticket_hygiene.md
  1. Start with a verb
  2. Make ticket actionable. Title should complete the phrase “This ticket will….” (which means it starts with a verb). They need to have a closable finished state. “Make it better” isn’t actionable.
  3. Make small, specific tickets. If needed you can break it out into subtasks

Examples: Good: “Prevent Nav Bar From Bouncing on Scroll” Bad: “Navigation is Wonky”

Good: “Implement Home Page Right Rail Promo Block” Bad: “Homepage updates”
