External Statistics Working Group
no updates currently
new organizational/tracking scheme for JIRA, with pointers to queries in folio-analytics repository
external statistics reports (e.g., ACRL) typically require running queries from different functional reporting areas
these reports will be captured in JIRA under one UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issue, then the descriptions will point to each of the queries required to run them on the folio-analytics repository
institutions will need to rank each of these 8 new UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issues
each reporting development team will take responsibility for the queries in their area for the external statistics clusters
