Discussion items

Capturing work in JIRA

  • we will be capturing all work in JIRA DM, including relationships, short and long term
  • we will resource load it. Similarly to http://slac.stanford.edu/~becla/tmp/ldm-240.html
  • If blocking activity does not have a story, we should create it as needed
  • we will be capturing TCAMs' todos in JIRA as well, in DM project, team = T/CAMs (just created)
  • We will likely introduce a board for TCAMs as well

DLP

  • we need to decide on ideal granularity of milestones
  • we should distinguish between different types on milestones in DLP (internal vs nsf-visible)
  • it'd be good to reference sections of baseline docs from epics
  • we decided to get rid of meta-epics
  • resource loading milestones is a good idea, but difficult to implement because epics often contribute to multiple milestones, so we won't do it
  • we will create a confluence page for wishlist (eg what improvements to jira we want, what we want to monitor in jira etc). This will go under tcam space we are creating

 DM-TCAM internal list

  • we will use dm-cam mailing list for all internal DM-TCAM announcements that all TCAMs should see. Hip chat CAMelot for casual chats like we do now (all tcams are on it)

Top priorities

 * Mario and Jacek need to come up with a clear list of to priorities very soon. Knowing priorities will help to focus developers in the right direction.

Cleanup

  •   We have some ancient, no longer used boards, should get rid of them

Cycle change

  •   We made change in jira DM to reflect cycle change (S->F, W->S, added X16), we need to do that for LDM

Cycle length

  • 3 month cycle would be more convenient for SQuaRE, others like 6 month. Need to check with Kevin if we can load plan in 3 month increments

Operations

  • question (for Mario and Beth): what is in operations. For example is the QA system that SQuaRE is building going to be used in operations?
  • It'd be good to know what kind of science pipeline related work will be done during production (say during the first 3 years). It is important to know this early to retain the best talent

X16

  •  we plan to have X16 plan ready for Kevin by 3/10

Next meeting, attendance

  • We want to meet face to face every 3 months.
  • Next one attached to DMLT, which will probably be in May. Simon offered to host it at UW
  • We all missed Margaret Gelman and wished she was at the meeting with us. (Margaret, you missed a lot of interesting discussions, it is impossible to capture everything in notes.)
