Wow, this looks great. Thanks for working on this.

So, [FOREIGN] is a blueprint that is assigned to another team but has
some work items that are assigned to this team? And [FUTURE] is a
blueprint that is targeted to a future release/milestone but has work
items that are targeted to this one. Is that right?

Yes, absolutely. This is something we would have wanted to do
ourselves, had it not been for our temporary change in focus. Let's
have a call early next week to chat about how this might look and
work. I'll send an invite.

The Product team (user research, text/docs, UI and QA) would be at your service.

Cheers!
