> changes to our deployment pipeline). That should improve our cycle time

> The catch is that this project will require around 4-6 weeks for one our
> feature squad. We'll do this project once the Custom Bugs Listing one is
> completed (~mid November).

>  * "Easy to find blueprints/bugs (maybe answers) for a team targeted to

> None of them are time-critical, so I don't think this would be a big

> Let us know if the timing of this project is unfortunate for you.
