+# Telemetry checklist
+
+Adding telemetry generally involves a few steps:
+
+1. File a "user story" bug about who wants what question answered. This will be used to track the client-side implementation as well as the data review request. If the server side changes are needed, ask Nan (:nanj / @ncloudio) if in doubt, bugs will be filed separately as dependencies.
+1. Implement as usual...
+1. Update `system-addon/test/schemas/pings.js` with a commented JOI schema of your changes, and add tests to system-addon/test/unit/TelemetryFeed.test.js to exercise the ping creation.
+1. Update [data_events.md](data_events.md) with an example of the data in question.
+1. Update any fields that you've added, deleted, or changed in [data_dictionary.md](data_dictionary.md).
+1. Get review from Nan on the data schema and the documentation changes.
+1. Request `data-review` of your documentation changes from a [data steward](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Data_Collection) to ensure suitability for collection controlled by the opt-out `datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled` pref. Download and fill out the [data review request form](https://github.com/mozilla/data-review/blob/master/request.md) and then attach it as a text file on Bugzilla so you can r? a data steward. We've been working with Chris H-C (:chutten) for the Firefox specific telemetry, and Kenny Long (kenny@getpocket.com) for the Pocket specific telemetry, they are the best candidates for the review work as they know well about the context.
+1. After landing the implementation, check with Nan to make sure the pings are making it to the database.
+1. Once data flows in, you can build dashboard for the new telemetry on [Redash](https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/dashboards). If you're looking for some help about Redash or dashboard building, Nan is the guy for that.
