When you can't quite commit to accepting and checking the rebrand
26 Nov 2024
An app rebrand is quite the testing task. New logos, themes and colours to check everywhere. Sometimes a rebrand can't be done with a big-bang approach.
I spotted this on a walk next to Buckingham Palace and wondered if they raised the bug as "Will not fix" or if they just made it a P3 and stuck it back on the bug backlog for later. I feel the main stakeholder wouldn't be too impressed with that prioritisation decision. 😉
