Notes
(from Mario Juric)
We spent the meeting discussing LDM-240/Summer'15. Mario asked about LDM-240 containing milestones (their names), but it's not clear where their definitions are (i.e., relatively unambiguous short descriptions of what each milestone achieves)?
To pick a completely random example (many were discussed), how does one discover the definition of the "Aperture corrections" milestone, in the sense of what is the scope of the work for S'15 on aperture corrections, how we'll know if we've achieved it (definition of "done"), and what makes us confident that it's achievable as defined in Summer'15? Being able to quickly answer such questions would make us more confident that we're internally all on the same page, and that we have a good grip on the plan (handy for external use as well!).
After some discussion, I think there were differing opinions on how useful this would be, but I think the sense was that most of this information may already be in JIRA epics (the details depend on how each group did the planning). It is not linked to LDM-240, however -- there was no consensus on whether that's a good idea. All of this will be worked out by Jeff+T/CAMs. The key short-term goal is to deliver to Jeff what he needs for the AMCL presentation.
