[epf-dev] Notes from PM call today

[Ricardo Balduino <balduino@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks, this is what I captured during
our PM call today. Joe Krebs will also post the feedback he got during
meeting.

Participants: 
Per Kroll, Kurt Sand, Joe Krebs, Russell
Pannone, Ricardo Balduino

• Revisited Task Plan the Project. Comments previously done by Ricardo were addressed by Joe.

      Decision: Joe will send out a revised version
of this task for additional feedback.

        (suggestion - not discussed during call, but my interpretation) Joe/Chris to move this Bugzilla entry to 'Verified', as first round of review occurred

Feedback to the risk related items by Joe Krebs

• Concept Milestone: - PM uses the term Milestone also between iterations..."Any" checkpoint.

      Decision: Ricardo to revisit concept page
to include discussion around intermediate milestones

• Template Risk-List: - suggested a phase column, so that risks can be assigned to a specific phase. For example, architectural risk -> Elaboration.

      Discussion: iterations guide execution, better
if we'd assign to an iteration 
        Decision:
no need for a column because you don't assign the risk to an iteration
(or phase), but the mitigation of a risk is addressed during an iteration;
objectives for iteration (in iteration plan) could say which risks are
being addressed in that iteration, and tasks will delineate what actions
(mitigation) to be performed by who.

• Checklist Risk:   How to address:

      - Risk Ambiguity 
        -
Risk Inter-Dependency
        Decision:
these topics should be introduced in a guideline or concept page first,
then reinforced in checklist.
        Ricardo
to revisit risk related guidance to see where those definitions fit.

More actions: 
- Volunteers to review attachments in
bugs using Word tracking feature and attaching commented doc back to the
corresponding Bugzilla entry.
- Kurt Sand volunteered to review list
of PM bugs (text written by Per and Ricardo) by mid next week
- Next PM call (one week from today)
should effectively focus on comments posted by reviewers and allow us to
move bugs to 'Verified' state.

Participants, please add/modify anything I may have missed/misinterpreted.
Cheers,
