Field Issue Route

How a Field Issue travels bottom-up — the mirror of the Epic Route. It starts outside the flight levels, at Field Service. The week’s issues are brought to the Field Issue Triage, where the route forks: a safety or fleet-down issue becomes a hotfix in the ART board’s expedite lane, goes to the expedite lane of the product line concerned, and bypasses the PI; everything else becomes a Feature and waits for PI planning like any other. The hotfix reaches the fleet over the air; what happened to each report flows back to Field Service, who close it with the customer.

The fork is the point: one cadence for the planned work, one lane for what cannot wait, and a named place where the decision between them is made.

Modeling note

Field is a custom band without a flight level, because Field Service is a plain team, not a work system.

How a [[Field Issue]] travels bottom-up — the mirror of the [[Epic Route]]. It starts
outside the flight levels, at [[Field Service]]. The week's issues are brought to the
[[Field Issue Triage]], where the route **forks**: a safety or fleet-down issue becomes a
**hotfix** in the ART board's expedite lane, goes to the expedite lane of the product line
concerned, and bypasses the PI; everything else becomes a
[[Feature]] and waits for PI planning like any other. The hotfix reaches the fleet over the
air; what happened to each report flows back to Field Service, who close it with the
customer.
The fork is the point: one cadence for the planned work, one lane for what cannot wait,
and a named place where the decision between them is made.
