Confluence Update

• We received approval on 5/16 and began sending invites to people who need access.

  • Let Sudhakar know if you haven’t received an invite and need one.

Updates from Last Week

• No changes to vision from last week.

Epics and feature map

• Sudhakar received EPICs from Tony

  • We now have EPICs from all 4 product lines

  • Sudhakar has begun to map features but many of the EPICs need to be re-written to match the common format that we’re looking for

  • V2X Hub EPICs were structured like features, so there was a lot of overlap that will require adjustment

  • ODE has all EPICs in the spreadsheet.

    • Hamid has added thoughts about the features and is waiting on Tony’s input

• Tony thinks that the EPIC should be at the higher level and that user stories should line up with features because its difficult to distinguish them in Jirra.

  • The model isn’t EPIC → Feature → User Story

    • They’re all blended together rather than being distinct pieces in Jirra.

• Tony walked everyone through the hierarchy in the spreadsheet that explains how our backlog matches up with the national architecture.

  • Everyone has agreed to stop at the feature level within their own Jirra’s and then build out the EPICs separately

    • Each EPIC would include an EPIC, a feature, and a user story

  • How do we avoid confusion if multiple teams are working at the same requirement level?

  • How is this spreadsheet going to be useful for us?

    • It allows us to distinguish between situations where there is overlap and situations where the teams are complementary to each other

    • It can lead to a healthy discussion about how to handle overlapping requirements on a case-by-case basis as they’re not black and white

• Data distribution system and data security are the two main areas where Sudhakar believes CARMA will have overlap

• V2X Hub and ODE have overlap possibilities because of hosting data

Milestone Checkup

• Sudhakar talked to Deb and the goal is to flush out the EPICs and Features by the end of the month.

• We don’t have more milestone data available because we don’t have the contract yet.
