*Lumen’s custom issue types explained:

• Capability: use this issue type to represent a high-level parent issue for a group of features (represented as child issues); this issue type usually spans multiple agile release trains. Capability issues are divided into multiple features to facilitate their implementation in a single planning increment.
• Impediment: use this issue type to represent something that might slow momentum, such as a capacity constraint, or a knowledge gap.
• Test: use this issue type to represent a piece of work that is being reviewed or analyzed.
