Program Update

Brad Westbrook

Since last UAC meeting of 1/14/2016:

  • Development:  

    • Completed February 16 sprint: 18 stories accepted; 9 stories rejected 

    • Started March 16 sprint: 27 stories target; 11 for container management, 9 for public user interface (PUI), rest for miscellaneous. Have made significant progress with the container management blocker stories, but these still need to be tested. We are currently reviewing a first draft of the documentation for container management.

    • Currently engaged with QA testing of March sprint

    • Two challenges remain for April release: 1) accommodate more parallel id sequences in the container management conversion process, and 2) ensure that the conversion process does not convert data already converted.

    • if we don't get enough testers or a lot of problems we will push back release

  •  Training and Consulting: 

    •  Workshops have been held at: 

      • University of North Carolina, Wilmington

      • Case Western Reserve University

      • Harvard’s Countway Library of Medicine

      • University of California, Santa Cruz
