I mean, the chart is still useful to have, and it'd be a couple of methods probably had I written it. But it's not a huge state space, and most of the transitions are fairly reasonable.

I can imagine it was quite a lot of work to come to such a clean and relatively simple chart.
Coming up with this chart from a generic ticket like "impl notifications" is one of the hardest parts of being a developer.

Code is generally the easy part once you know exactly what you're doing.

Not least because it's really the product designer and product owner's job to make this kind of chart.

Which they never do to a satisfactory level (in my experience). So it still falls on the developer to do it properly, then PO just copies it for their presentations.
