| Roll Call | Julie Patton | |
| | Program Update | Julie Patton for Brad Westbrook | We had a light period of activity between the last UAC meeting on 12/14/2015 and this one today due to the winter holidays. In effect, this report is only for about 11 working days. Development 11 user stories were delivered for sprint 19, but only four were tested, of which three were accepted and one was rejected. Rather than try to complete sprint nineteen, we have decided to merge its contents into the backlog for 2016 Sprint 1. We have made substantial progress in transitioning the development process to the new cycle and to Agile boards now present in Jira. Presently we are engaged in making sure all epics are represented as epics and their story members are properly linked. We have constructed a “first draft” of the backlog for the 2016 Sprint 1. This will be reviewed by the Prioritization subteam prior to that sprint commencing. We are also in the process of scheduling orientation and first meetings for the prioritization subteam and the testing subteam. The first scrum meeting is now scheduled for late Monday afternoon, Feb. 1.
Documentation: Christine Di Bella has outline the documentation that needs to be done for new container management functionality, and she and I will be address that in the next few weeks. We intend to use the documentation subteam as our reviewer/editor.
Workshops: Nancy Enneking presented a two-day Basics ArchivesSpace workshop at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) on Dec. 14 and 15. That workshop also included staff from Texas A&M University Kingsville. Bergis Jules was present as new trainer-in-training. Bergis Jules and Lisa Calahan presented a workshop at Tulane University on Jan. 11-12 for staff at Tulane, Nicholls State University, and LSU.
