Description

Attempt to draft a WMF product development process in 2015 - superseded by https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Product_Guidance

(This project was initially used to track cross-functional or executive-level work between Product, UX, Analytics, Community Engagement, and Mobile Programs, but that stopped around May 2015).

I don't think so.
I think it would be fair to say nobody is working on it - to our knowledge.
WPG is the closest thing to that currently.

Aklapper changed the status of T104320: [GOAL]: Document definitions and development processes for the different types of software work and how they progress from one stage to the next from Stalled to Open.

The previous comments don't explain who or what (task?) exactly this task is stalled on ("If a report is waiting for further input (e.g. from its reporter or a third party) and can currently not be acted on"). Hence resetting task status.

Teams are free to use Goal to mark such tasks. Proposing to decline this task (also as nobody seems to feel responsible for T253629).

I created https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Deprecation_policies for easier navigation between the easier policies. I seem to recall ResourceLoader modules also having a semi-official policy, but I couldn't find it.
