1. Integrated Acceptance Calendar: Our Foundation1. Schedule, Scope is clearer than before.

2. Better requirements deadline is given

3. BUT, IT IS NOT EASY TO UNDERSTAND AT A FIRST LOOK

2. Acceptance wiki: Focal point of each acceptance1. Better organized, documents, structures etc.

3. SSG wiki:1. Clear responsibility for each subsystem scientist in each

subsystem

4. AM-RM meeting/regular contact1. Less miscommunication between ICT and JAO science

5. SEQM meeting1. Better quality control for the overall process

Improvement Efforts since CPM#2

ICT-CPM3 17-19 June 2014

Robust process After TRR, the software is tested internally before going public.

After ACRV, the software goes public (e.g. source catalogue) ARC deployment

Invite ARC contacts to TRR to share deployment info. Kanban

Very successful to track status of ICT-tickets. Pipeline Heuristics (originally not in the JAO acceptance)

AM accepts the software with SciOPS approval New Subsystem

Dashboard (Stuartt), Integrated Reporting (Lars)

New things in the acceptance after CPM#2

ICT-CPM3 17-19 June 2014

Bugs are well followed in Kanban if labeled correctly.
