Type

Feature

Lineage

Migrated from ldraney/DORA#4.
Standalone — part of DORA dashboard improvements.

Repo

ldraney/pal-e-platform

User Story

As a platform operator
I want Tier 1 DORA composite in Grafana with color-coded bands
So that I know if production pipelines are healthy without digging

Context

Stat panels currently show raw numbers with no visual indicator of DORA band standing. Adding color thresholds (Elite=green, High=blue, Medium=yellow, Low=red) makes health assessable at a glance.

File Targets

Files the agent should modify or create:

  • terraform/dashboards/dora-dashboard.json — add thresholds to stat panels

Feature Flag

None required — color thresholds are additive visual changes.

Acceptance Criteria

  • DF panel: green >1, blue 0.14-1, yellow 0.03-0.14, red <0.03
  • LT panel: green <24h, blue 24-168h, yellow 168-720h, red >720h
  • CFR panel: green <5%, blue 5-10%, yellow 10-15%, red >15%
  • MTTR panel: green <1h, blue 1-24h, yellow 24-168h, red >168h

Test Expectations

  • Manual: verify colors change correctly in Grafana

Constraints

  • Match industry-standard DORA band definitions

Checklist

  • PR opened
  • Tests pass
  • No unrelated changes

Issue #429 Template Review

TEMPLATE CONFORMANCE

  • ### Type header present and valid (Feature)
  • ### Lineage present and non-empty
  • ### Repo present (ldraney/pal-e-platform)
  • ### User Story present (As a platform operator...)
  • ### Context present and non-empty
  • ### File Targets present with specific path
  • ### Feature Flag present (None -- justified: additive visual change)
  • ### Acceptance Criteria present with checkboxes, specific thresholds
  • ### Test Expectations present
  • ### Constraints present
  • ### Checklist present with checkboxes
  • ### Related present

All required sections present and non-empty. Template structure is valid.

CONTENT QUALITY

File Targets: terraform/dashboards/dora-dashboard.json -- verified this file exists on the repo (SHA b03d8d09). Single file target is appropriate for the scope.

Acceptance Criteria: Well-specified. Four metrics (DF, LT, CFR, MTTR) each with four threshold bands and concrete numeric boundaries. Testable and unambiguous.

Test Expectations: Manual-only ("verify colors change correctly in Grafana"). Acceptable for a Grafana JSON dashboard config -- there is no application logic to unit test. The thresholds are declarative JSON values.

User Story: Clear and well-formed. Platform operator wants at-a-glance DORA health via color-coded bands.

BLOCKERS

1. Duplicate of open issue #395 (BLOCKER)

Issue #395 ("DORA dashboard: band color thresholds + rolling trend panels") is open and covers this exact scope as a subset. #395 includes both:

  • (a) Color-coded DORA band thresholds on stat panels (= this issue's entire scope)
  • (b) Rolling trend panels for DF and LT (= issue #430's scope)

Additionally, PR #396 ("Add DORA band color thresholds and rolling trend panels") is open and un-merged, already implementing the combined scope of #395. Working #429 independently risks merge conflicts with PR #396 and creates duplicate tracking artifacts.

Resolution needed: Either close #429 and #430 in favor of #395 (which covers both), or close #395 in favor of the split tickets (#429 + #430). The split approach is cleaner (smaller PRs, single-concern issues), but #395 and its PR #396 must be explicitly closed/superseded first.

2. Lineage does not reference #395 or PR #396 (BLOCKER)

The Lineage section says "Migrated from ldraney/DORA#4" but does not mention #395 or PR #396, which cover overlapping scope in this same repo. Anyone picking up this issue would not know about the existing work. The Lineage or Related section must reference #395 and PR #396 to prevent duplicate effort.

NITS

  1. Related section: docs/dashboard.md is listed but this file may not exist yet. If it is a planned artifact, note that explicitly (e.g., "to be created").
  2. Lineage: "Migrated from ldraney/DORA#4" -- could clarify whether DORA#4 is being closed/superseded or if this is a partial migration.

VERDICT: NEEDS_REWORK

Two blockers must be resolved before this issue can move from backlog to next_up:

  1. Clarify relationship with #395 and PR #396 -- either close the duplicates or explicitly supersede them.
  2. Add cross-references to #395 and #396 in Lineage or Related so downstream agents have full context.

Closing as duplicate of #395, which has open PR #396. Migrated from ldraney/DORA#4 during board migration but the work was already tracked here.
