 Once reproduced, QA should document the reproduction steps and move it to the reproduced state.
 
 #### Reproduced
-When reproduced, the bug is assigned to the appropriate [engineering manager (EM)](../company/development-groups#current-product-groups) and added to the product backlog. The EM is responsible for investigating the root cause of the bug and proposing solutions to their product counterpart if it requires discussion. Otherwise, the EM includes it in this release (if there's space) or the next release.
