The 2019-2020 Integrations sub-team plans to build on the work that it completed during its 2018-2019 year and to address some of the opportunities for improvement identified in its 2018-2019 retrospective. Our main goals are to:

  • build upon the improvements made to the Integrations documentation
  • improve internal communication and documentation
  • review the results of an Integrations survey that the sub-team conducted in summer 2019
  • continue tracking new integrations

External Facing Integrations Documentation

  • Conduct a review of currently listed systems integrations
  • Where appropriate, update integration status, overview, links to documentation, and so on
  • Investigate modifying the structure of the list of current integrations (e.g., create general headings for each tool or software to account for different implementations by product owners or institutions)
  • Add previously unlisted integrations to the list of systems integrations
  • Make options for contributing to the documentation more prominent

Sub-team Communication, Documentation, and Project Management

  • Identify and implement opportunities to improve out-of-meeting work and communication
  • Create internal sub-team documentation consisting of: an overview of the external documentation that the sub-team is responsible for, a calendar with recurring timelines for reviewing and updating external documentation
  • Ensure that internal documentation provides sufficient information for onboarding new members and for transferring leadership responsibilities
  • Systematize project tracking and distribution of responsibilities

ArchivesSpace Integrations Survey

  • Review the results of the ArchivesSpace Integrations Survey
  • Identify and implement deliverables based on the survey: an aggregate report to share with the entire community, detailed proposals to submit to the ArchivesSpace program team or the product owners of the programs, a page on the Integrations wiki listing desired integrations, and so on
  • Where relevant, add comments to or create new ArchivesSpace Jira tickets, potentially in collaboration with the Dev. Pri. sub-team
