| + | * Burden on a small number of SMEs as was also highlighted in other email threads | ||
| + | * Should be more clear on the areas where we need resources will help our members and the broader community find the right people to have involved | ||

| + | * Maybe OSGI/Karaf people to help with platform issues you see on ODL or ONOS | ||
| + | * People who are in telco operations who are actively deploying applications today and can provide feedback | ||
| + | * Testing competencies, with broad experience in testing for application deployment scenarios | ||
| + | * Collaboration with SDOs | ||
| + | * More resource on training and on-boarding is needed (both for new developers & users) | ||

| ===Project Management=== | ===Project Management=== | ||
| + | * Scope management | ||
| + | * Within 2 months of project launch, there was a relatively clear idea of the Arno scope. This reduction in scope was a contributing factor in being able to deliver. | ||
| + | * The communication of the Arno scope after the decision was made could have been better | ||
| + | * Not having a clear idea of the resources available made it very difficult to manage the risk of the scope | ||
| + | * There was not a change management process for decision making during Arno and better communication could have reduced friction | ||
| + | * On change management, there's a need to be wary of imposing too much top-down control/benediction of project leaders vs allowing leaders to arise organically as we grow as a community. | ||
| + | * A structured approach to using Jira would be helpful in coordinating community efforts | ||
| + | * Schedule | ||
| + | * Additional effort is needed to address risk mitigation when making our plans | ||
| + | * Successful time-based projects manage releases by gating early on feature readiness and gating early | ||
| + | * Establishing clear milestones and being concise on the meaning of those milestones and qualifications will be important | ||
| + | * Individual projects will have their own timeline that may or may not coincide with a time-based release activity. We need to be clear on the correlation between release and content. | ||
| + | * Discussion that it may be acceptable to set our release date based on upstream dependencies rather than trying to stay to a completely time-based release cycle. | ||
| + | * There was a discussion about release cadence, and how features will make it from upstream into a release. | ||
| + | * There is not a shared understanding of what a "release" means, what release artifacts the project will create, or even what it means to be in a release | ||
| + | * Project resources | ||
| + | * Multiple timezones require effective communications in the community. | ||
| + | * Discussion on challenges with the OPNFV hardware in the LF lab. A question was raised if there is a way to automate a lot of activities on the LF hardware. | ||
