Feedback Ladder
This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.
Trial
Clear feedback is key, especially in code reviews. Reading through a long text of feedback and then deciding what it means can be challenging sometimes.
Thanks to our feedback ladder system, simple icons give the code review comments a better meaning. They classify the urgency of the improvement and help the developers to decide what's important and what can be delayed a bit more.
We've adopted the feedback ladder system in some of our projects, and the feedback so far is great.
