Change Management
This process primarily targets requests that can be handled with current level of effort (LOE) resources. This process is also designed to detect and redirect items to the EVMS process if they exceed LOE resources.
Successful changes proceed through 5 stages:
1 | Business Case & T/CAM Concurrence | Check that the submitter has stated a plausible business case and the relevant T/CAM agrees |
| 2 | Feasibility | Is the change well-formulated, address a project need and |
| 3 | Planning | A detailed implementation plan is created which takes into account impacts, resource needs, testing and verification. |
| 4 | Insertion | The plan is executed to implement the change. |
| 5 | Assessment | Verification of successful change, issues analysis, documentation and close-out. |

Heard on the Street This Week, but no Ticket Filed
New
Gregory expressed a need for additional PDAC compute capacity to support Science Platform development. When he finishes the needs assessment, he'll file a request.
Previous
It was suggested that per-user storage usage for each shared fileset be made available. Preferably readable by any DM member.
- Several users expressed a desire to have the Intel compiler suite (icc) available on last-dev
- Increase ssh idle session timeout, which is currently 1 hr. (John Parejko via Slack)
- Suggestion to deploy kubernetes on PDAC, it is assumed that this is being handled through the rolling-wave (EVMS) process
- Tools for parallel programming in batch computing environment (gnu parallel and others)
