CMR Requirements Review Process

Review and Approval Process

Frequency

When a Component and its initial descendant Epics and User Stories are gathered, a review of that component should be conducted using Jama's Review Center. Because reviews done using Jama can occur via the web, meetings are not required, allowing reviews to span several days among several reviewers.
It is expected that after initial component requirements are established, new requirements will continue to be introduced to the various sub-system components. These additional requirements will generally be reviewed by the CMR team on a bi-weekly or monthly basis.
If a large group of related requirements are added, the group may be subject to the same longer review process as the initial component requirements.

Participants

The CMR requirements review team should consist of at least one participant from ESDIS, ECHO, GCMD and EMS and will ideally include other stakeholders from DAACs or other interested Earthdata systems and projects (e.g. GIBS).

Process

As mentioned above component requirement reviews will occur within Jama and will span several days. The component owner will initiate this review and determine participants. Depending on the outcome of the web-based review, the component owner may choose to call a meeting (WebEx or in-person) to hash out details for particularly contentious stories.
Once the review is complete and outstanding issues have been addressed, the requirements/stories are approved and work may be prioritized in upcoming sprints.
