Upcoming Event
Work session—business events
Work session--BUC, scenario and user story sessions
Briefly, the business events shows us which information flows are needed as inputs and outputs and how they are related to one another. The efforts here will allow us to begin to understand how we can partition the work and provide better cost estimates.
The responses to the business events will lead us to specific business use cases or BUCs. The effort and timing around the BUCs will further depend on the open issues with other parts of the world as the team has focused primarily on US information flows.
New Issues/Action Items
Team discussion—
Stan will continue to introduce appropriate models that will be used for predominantly communicating the scope, prioritizing the work using business use cases and product use cases. Additional models will be utilized as necessary and may include, data and activity flow diagrams, data dictionaries, CRUD checks and others.

Additional stakeholders have been identified that might be impacted by the project. Stan will continue reaching out to them to gather additional details as their schedules allow.
Project related--
Continue to add documents and post questions to the pertinent board as needed.
