Concourse Update (Jan 7–11)
…and we’re back! The team’s been pretty quiet over the past few weeks due to vacations and holidays. This was our first week back at full strength so we’ve got some interesting updates for ya’ll

Epics are now organized under projects in concourse/concourse, and release markers are managed under milestones in concourse/concourse.
