2019-11-20 - Consortia SIG Notes

Housekeeping/updates

• recovering our files on Google Drive

David will touch base with Peter about this; we may have to recover files one-by-one since the folder owner is unknown (it might be Mike Winkler).

Paula Sullenger will check about getting our meeting recordings into the Consortia SIG folder.

Build out requirements in a neutral way and then compare with ReShare

Guidance from those with experience doing this

• start with workflows or problems to solve
  • PO will prioritize in consultation with SIG
  • PO should propose solution; SIG discusses and "buckles down" to refine solution
• might be easier to have one individual take ownership of writing requirements, then review as a group

Is there a way to break this down into smaller features?

• possibilities
  • start at the beginning
  • start with the outcome of the process
  • maybe even jump back and forth between the two
• might have to make some decisions/compromises as we move along
  • thin thread development - critical/minimal path to achieving functionality that can be expanded/supplemented later; ideally there should be some observable functionality every ~2 weeks (rather than 6 months of effort before any observable functionality is available)

How can we divide/prioritize this?

• possible areas: patrons, placing requests, filling requests, shared catalog, reporting/analytics

Upcoming meetings
