@omahane are you working on this epic? Events are technically in Public Websites purview, so @wesrowe will be pushing along the product end of this, and our designer @fmccaf1 is working on UI /UX related things. Wondering if you have technical work in flight already, and if so, if we need to hand that off or if you have capacity to keep going with it.
@wesrowe / @jilladams / @EWashb What team owns this Epic? While I understand all teams are impacted/may be involved, does PW own this or does Sitewide CMS own this now?
Our UX researcher/designer Florence worked on it a bit before PTEMS. Recently I brought it up with Dave C and I believe he said it should go to Sitewide CMS – it seemed a little arbitrary but also it needs CMS-side design, ie Blake Organ, who sits with SW-CMS.
This did come up in the Q1 goals conversation and Dave said: maybe PW / maybe Sitewide CMS. Seems like Erika / Wes / Dave should get together and work out who should own.
I just saw this...yes, it was said that the CMS team should look into this as a very low priority Q1 initiative @JQuaggles
This was determined to not be a priority for the CMS team during Q1 2023
@EWashb @mmiddaugh FYA Public Websites has decided to pull this in as a UX priority.
@Agile6MSkinner I'm replying to your question about closing a specific ticket with a comment on the parent epic.
I just added a brief update to the top of the epic and retitled it to reflect our most recent conversation about it at the onsite in June. I think that in the interest of cleaning up the board, this epic and the remaining tickets under it could be closed. Given that this work didn't make the cut for Q3 priorities, I don't think this idea will see action for a few months minimum.
If anything, some of the context about this concept could be moved into product documentation about possible future features. Possibly in the mapbox folder under Facilities? I leave it to you, @FranECross and @mmiddaugh to decide how best to leave a breadcrumb trail back to this.
Another alternative to consider is to leave this on the CMS board since the functionality could be across multiple CMS products.
Update from 2024
What's not included in this epic (yet, but it could be)
Background
User Story or Problem Statement
As a Veteran, I want to be able to filter by events by location (including online and in-person) so that I can find events I can attend and meet my goals for engaging with the VA.
As an event Editor, I want to accurately capture all the locations from which a Veteran can participate in an event (including online and in-person) so that Veteran-facing products can enable the Veteran experience based on locations.
Affected users and stakeholders
Hypothesis
We believe that the current Event location editorial experience has several limitations that will prevent Editors from providing optimal location information for Events.
Assumptions
(How will these assumptions be validated?)
