DM Documents
Controlled Documents
The LSST DMS requirements and high level design are defined in a series of controlled documents. These describe the DMS as it is planned to exist prior to the Operations phase of the LSST project.

The LSST DM Software User Guide will document the high-level design of the LSST pipelines, how to install them, how to run them, and how to use them to develop your own data reduction pipelines (i.e., what modules/APIs are present and appropriate to use under what circumstances). This document will be geared towards the end-users (e.g., Level 3, Science Collaborations) and operators who primarily need to run the code, and also towards developers and advanced users who both need to know how to run it and build on top of it |

The LSST DM Developer Guide will document the processess and capabilities available to LSST DM staff developers. This will include what machines are available, the development procedures for planned changes (tickets, reviews, merging, etc.), how continuous integration operates, data challenges, etc. This will be the second document a new LSST/DM developer will want to read. |

Reference Material
DM uses Confluence to collect meeting notes and status information. The material here is not structured to provide a convenient entry-point to the DM system. Instead, refer to:
- LDM-294, which describes the high-level organization of the DM subsystem.
- LDM-148, which describes the architecture of the LSST Data Management System.
- The DM Developer Guide, which provides information for project members on procedures, expectations, and how to get their work done.
- The Documentation Hub, which provides an index of technical and management documentation covering all aspects of the DM system.
- Software User Guides, which provide tutorial and reference documentation on DM software products, including:
Teams & Working Groups
The following teams within DM have substantial presences on Confluence:
- DM Leadership Team (DMLT)
- DM System Science Team (DM-SST)
- DM Change Control Board (DM-CCB; formerly the Technical Control Team)
In addition, ad-hoc working groups are established on an as-needed basis.
Services
Information on services currently provided by DM is available through the Developer Guide.The DM services status page on Confluence provides further information and maintenance/outage information.
