As a result of the F2F meetings in Vancouver this past week, significant progress in the Evolutionary Design Practice was made. Below is a simple status:

-       Closed out 4 bugs

-       Resolved 240750 & 227050

-       Nominated a new bug for OpenUP 2.0 for Realization

Leaves a total of 4 Open bugs for ED all simple in nature.  This practice status should be considered Green for the August Milestone.

Cheers,

This past week in Vancouver, BC,  I thought, was a great success. It was good to meet team leads in person and our breakout sessions accomplished a lot of ground along our way to our August deadline. On the last day, I helped facilitate a short-list of Action items based on three time periods:  3, 6, 9 month periods. Then, using an Agile game called playing poker, we voted on the top 3 items from each group to concentrate on. This allowed us to focus our efforts on these highest-value goals first while not losing track of the rest of the items.

General themes expressed were to meet our current schedule, get the word out on the EPF practice libraries, involve more institutions and people so as not to appear to be IBM dominated, and make content revisions more social-networking like by adoption of Web 2.0 standards, YouTube, Wiki, and separate websites. Not all tasks have owners.

There was some prioritization achieved through the voting and it is summarized below in order of priority:
