Focus
Chance for me (Wil) to get to know you all a bit better, understand your AGILE process, and learn about the current long term Plan.
Other Topics for the agenda (please add here any points you would like to discuss)
- To cover: Agile and long-term Roadmaps
- To cover: ITIL and DevOps - and how they ARE compatible.
- The Data model - seperation of processing, defining interfaces intra sytem and subsystems
- Documentation tree .. if there is one - LDM-493 does not seem to tell me whihc docs we should be creating
- https://confluence.lsstcorp.org/display/DM/Requirements+and+Design+Hierarchy might help, although it likely needs a refresh.
- Use of Cloud Infrastructure .. further study needed ?
Topics of interest to T/CAMs:
- Integration & test, Commissioning: Effort and schedule for DM verification and system verification
- Data Challenges: What are we doing when?
- Related: Future of PDAC?
- Simulated data:
- Some was generated for DESC, Euclid but we haven't seen it; is it useful for us?
- What about list of simulated data desires sent to Sims group at the last JTM?
- Binary distributions: answers to questions in Tim's e-mail.
- We have risks associated with specific WBSs but currently have no interaction between T/CAMs and the people reporting on risks. Closer integration of per-WBS risks with system engineering is desired to more accurately reflect current status.
- Pipeline QA functionality definition discussions. Is it the precursor for commissioning support?
