Design Template: Large

Estimate: Two weeks to a month
Notes:
- When creating the issue, use the label design-estimated-L
- Ideally, design should be given sufficient time in the problem space to explore and research.
- Design should be happening at least one iteration before engineering is planned. If user testing is required before or after design, this should be factored into the design time.
- These efforts require close collaboration with the Product Manager to scope and define the user problems being solved.
