Make product goals more visible on GitHub

[StaehliJ]

As a stakeholder I want to have a better understanding of the main product goals. As a PO I need to have a better overview of the goals and associated tasks. As a team member I need a tool that helps me in my work.

Acceptance criteria

• Product goals are visible on the GitHub board.
• Product goals can be consolidated among platforms.
• The board is easy to understand and use.

Tasks

Here are the changes we made:

• We removed a few unused tabs.
• The Product Backlog tab now only shows issues with the Draft or Backlog status. Issues are grouped according to this status.
• Milestones serve as replacement for epics, which have been removed. We introduced a Current Milestone tab to display the current milestone (i.e. the main current focus).
• We renamed Test as Testing to avoid confusion with a board which would have been created for a quick test.

We also agreed to discuss next how we could better integrate testing or code review in our boards.
