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
