[Fiware-coaches] IMPORTANT FINAL CHECK BY FIWARE COACHES of questionnaire and evaluation dashboard to be used for FIWARE usage assessment

[Silvio Cretti]

Thanks Juanjo for you answers.
However I think we need to put ourselves from the SME perspective that is
going to respond to the questionnaire. Only in this way we can guarantee a
good level of comprehension and, at the end, a good level of the results. I
suggest to re-read my comments in this perspective. Some examples:
1) concept of planned. Ok we know now what we mean be "planned" internally.
But what about the respondent perspective? How can he know what we mean?
Moreover our definition of "planned" is dangerous without a clear
explanation exactly because the SMEs are in different phases: in CreatiFI
for example it is not applicable because all the SME have almost closed
their duties for phase 1. How do we handle these cases?
2) Lab usage. Ok with me, but bear in mind that if I were an SME that just
installed the Object Storage GE (and OpenStack/IaaS Resource Management GE)
on its premises, I will get 4 points. Correct? Is this what we want?
4) Big data. I do not think our intent is clear here: if the emphasis is on
the "on demand" concept we should highlight it. I would suggest to rephrase
and use the same terms in different questions (not platform in one and
cluster in another - another alternative could be to use GE in place of
platform in the second).

Best regards,
  silvio
