TimeItemWhoNotes
15 minLearnings from PWGAndy
  • Andy gave a summary of the potential learnings that the LCOO hopes to gain from the PWG 
45 minOverview of PWGCarol
  • Carol reviewed the existing  PWG user story workflow - see https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ProductTeam/User_Stories#User_Story_Workflow
    • User stories are to articulate needs (persona within datacenter wants to achieve)
    • Roadmap - talk  with all PTLs and  find out their priorities and implementation plans across 3 release horizon
    • User story - multiple features,  functions and move at different timelines
    • PWG - implemented opensource within community approach - proposed user story (business value, what's trying to be accomplished, scenarios), gaps analysis  - specific project by project feature, user story tracker (method to use a dashboard to look across all features, functions, projects)
    • User story tracker - track status for usage scenarios (user story tracker tool - goes to github etc. to get current state, uses JSON  file to parse and get current status - automate as much as possible)
      • Doug Hellmann is championing cross project release goals and may use same user story tracker
      • Trying to get to one dashboard tool
      • Looked at story board originally
      • Use standard community review mechanisms - invite PTLs to comment on it
      • A  lot of collaboration in gaps analysis
      • Output is an implementation plan (creating a standard template now)
        • Specs
        • Blueprints
        • Bugs
        • New project needs to be formed (lowest desired outcome of a user story - takes too long and  complex)
      • User stories are taken by folks that can move the story through (not usually a PTL)
      • 2 version meetings  - folks in Japan will collaborate on user stories and US usually and some cross over (easier to collaborate on similar time zones)
        • Mondays - 3:00 CT US meeting - PWG
      • PWG - make easier to bring requirements into openstack, work  through socializing, actionable and being able to track
      • LCOO probably spans multiple market segments but has a common thread
      • Enterprise WG sourcing new enterprise requirements and into community (not subject matter expert), a lot of cross over between  enterprise WG and Product work group
      • How best for LCOO to plug into PWG?
        • Could LCOO utilize PWG workflow (see above)
        • Identify items in roadmap that fit PWG charter (span multiple projects and multiple releases) - next  meeting Wednesday morning
          • Then form user story and bring user story through the PWG process
        • Break roadmap into features and user stories - start with user story most  understood
          • Feature is simple unit (not cross project)
        • What are large enterprise gaps on existing projects? 

Action items

  • User story tracker team meeting on 1/24 - bring up the possibility of using JIRA (Carol forwarding meeting invite to Andy) - subteam of PWG (could user story tracker load to JIRA?)

  • Write up a user story ( e.g. 1000 node  instance  (Toby and Jamey mentioned to Carol) - get on paper and moving forward (define use case from operator perspective) - other ideas:  Gluon - We did not commit to this. The roadmap team will discuss and come to concensus around what "Story's" we will pursue.

  • LCOO - any use cases different than enterprise?

  •
