AccountableMilestoneComments

Stage 0 – Scoping & Planning 

0.1Project ManagerCreate project artifacts (Jira, Wiki)For TAUGs, grant proposal has been signed and project is slated to start
0.2Project Manager Create project plan from templateI think this will be a new action for Alana, normal for Dana except that it comes from a template now which can be added to in 0.5
0.3Project ManagerReview scope

For TAUGs, this includes review of signed off Proposal (eg. 18 months, 10 concepts)


0.4Project Manager

Create project charter Wiki page


Wiki page can contain proposal but high level details should be included on the page. 

Charter page should be from a common template so that all project charters could be exported and seen in a spreadsheet.  

Would it be possible to identify common information that both SD and DS are interested in to create template? That way projects that don't include SD would still be consistent and they'd be able to be reported along with the SD, SD/DS projects.

0..5Project ManagerUpdate project planAt this time additional items are added to Jira plan that was created by the template.
0.6Metadata AnalystReview project plan, scope, and Wiki structures with Project Manager

PM and Metadata Analysts meet at start of the project to make sure both departments aligned, however, PM and Metadata Analysts should continue to review during Stage 1 & 2 and should plan meeting cadence at this time.

0.7Project ManagerSubmit scope to GGG for review

Part of template but if not applicable, canceled when project plan created.

Known scope gets approved by GGG.  

However, in some cases new domains and variables go to GGG as they come up now through development.

0.8GGG LeadGGG approves scope

Part of template but if not applicable, canceled when project plan created.

Where is the formal project kickoff with the team where the charter/scope, wiki, and team processes reviewed?

Project Manager

Data Sciences Checks Before IR

  • Review document for data sciences needs

  • human check visually in Wiki that all looks good for Data Sciences and the CDISC Library

  • Scrape and load into development (update pipelines)

like TAUG 2.12


Software Engineer

Scrape and load into development (update pipelines)

This was a sub-bullet in Dana's "Data Sciences Checks Before IR" milestone, but milestones for DS shouldn't be sub-bullets
