Gap Analysis and ReportingHolly MistlebauerHolly discusses the Gap Analysis currently underway to identify project issues and prioritize them: Early implementers get access to a feature priorization spreadsheet, which allows each institution to specify their individual priorities. This helps developers to deliver the needed features on time.
Next Steps for In-app ReportingHolly Mistlebauer

Holly

is stepping in as Interim Product Owner for Reporting until Product Council assigns a permanent Reporting PO. She will be joining us for Reporting SIG meetings and working with other Product Owners on reporting issues. Today, she will discuss

reviews her work to move In-App Report work into JIRA tickets along with other POs, and discusses next steps for in-app reporting.

-

all

All Product Owners are trying to get

in app

In-App reports identified for upcoming gap analysis.

-Holly added a new "

in app report

In-App Report" worksheet to Reporting SIG Master Spreadsheet, which lists each in app report with its associated JIRA ticket and gets crossreferenced with the original report listed in the rest of the spreadsheet.

-Holly is working with the rest of the Product Owners to turn our

in app report

In-App Report candidates into JIRA tickets for developers to build within the appropriate microservice; the Product Owners are reviewing the Reporting SIG Master Spreadsheet to identify

in app reports

In-App Reports and document them in JIRA tickets for development

-We will continue to discuss In App reports in our upcoming Reporting SIG meetings so Holly can bring questions Product Owners may have as they work through our list of reports

.

-It is important that

in app reports Important Note

In-App Reports are identified and documented for the FOLIO project gap analysis that is underway; we need to understand how much work needs to be done to build the FOLIO release.

-Holly will gray out any items that are not candidates for in app reports

-In the spreadsheet a new column is introduced telling for every report whether it is an In-App Report or not, and who is responsible. If the entry says "Online" this means that this report does not require a reporting functionality because in FOLIO it will be possibile to retrieve all the information needed directly from the system via filters.

-We will continue to discuss In App reports in our upcoming Reporting SIG meetings so Holly can bring questions Product Owners may have as they work through our list of reports.


Important Notes to Reporting SIG members:

Please drop copies of any remaining reports you have identified in the spreadsheet in the
  • If your report is identified as a "Yes - In-App Report": Please drop a copy in the appropriate functional area folder in the Library Stats folder in the Reporting SIG Google Drive folder and link them to the "Link to Sample" column in the Reporting SIG Master Spreadsheet, if you haven' yet. It really helps Product Owners to have a report to view to understand what is needed for a given in app report.
  • Please keep track of all the reports you added to the spreadsheet as Product Owners may add questions and remarks to the spreadsheet.
  • If you do not agree with a certain report being identified as "No In-App report" please turn to Holly.
