Hello all,
there was a lively discussion about our proposal for a
Product Owner in the Product Council meeting today.
I don't feel myself able to summarize that whole discussion
and also I don't want to report on opinions of individuals.
But I think the general audience agreed that the SysOps SIG
should have a PO. It was also said that there is an overlap
with the Early Implementers group and that this latter group
will have a big role when it comes to priorization. In
general, having a PO will prevent that features remain
unassigned - surprisingly, there seen to be a lot of features
in Jira which are unassigned as of now.
It was said that the only obstacles for having a SysOps PO
is a shortage of resources: both on our side (communication,
time) and on the side of the POs (having a person to fill this
position).
I summarize what we as the SIG have to do now:
I said this already in the PC but we should stress again,
also in the meeting with Harry, that these are only our
requirements for integrations and that we have more
requirements that we need to get into the developing pipeline
soon.
@Dale: please convene that session which will include the
discussion with Harry, I will be absent. To all: Please take
care that all our integration needs will be represented in the
Epics that Harry will create. FYI: Harry has been called the
"roadmap guy" of the project.
- We were asked to and I also consider this very necessary
that we document our items / needs. I will continue to collect
our issues on this Wiki page
https://wiki.folio.org/display/SYSOPS/Action+Items+for+Development .
I will also add more information in the descriptions column.
But I feel that we should have a special meeting to review
this list after I have collected what came to my mind there.
Of course, it is in a Wiki, the others are invited to also
edit this list. I will make a Doodle Poll for a special
meeting concerning this list. I think we should have a special
meeting before Thursday, I hope we will find a time for
this. Actually, it's only possible on Tuesday or Wednesday. I
think we should have a complete list of our current needs that
we can present to Harry already on Thursday. This will give
him (and Cate, others in the PC) a better impression of our
needs and how they can help us with employing a Product Owner.
Best,
Ingolf
