[I sent this mail to both WPA and WPL lists, but somehow it only went to the WPA list. I send it again from this list] ---- Dear all, In the telco of 28/7 about the coordination of FIWARE Backlog related activities, as leaders of Task 2.1, we proposed a procedure and a supporting tool (to be set up, hosted and supported by Atos) for the requirements gathering process, as an entry point for the backlog entries to be passed into AgileFant. The idea behind our proposed tool and procedure is that requirement contributors can directly provide their input into the system, requiring it to be assigned to a relevant WP representative (no 'dangling', un-owned requirements allowed). It allows for a decentralized way of handling the requirements and for a one-to-one dialog between those providing the requirements and the technical leaders responsible for fulfilling them. In our opinion, there is a risk involved when one single point of contact (whether that's Atos or anyone else), is responsible for evaluating, assigning, discussing and coordinating all the requirements between all contributors and all WP representatives. The amount of requirements that will be generated will be of a too significant amount to be realistically dealt with that way. The proposed tool supports topics (for a division between WPs), visibility/access levels for different staff, transfer of tickets, both private and public discussion threads for the tickets (to facilitate mentioned one-to-one dialogs), access without required registration, as well as the usual features such as email notifications, attachments, etc. Meanwhile, it is becoming apparent that the proposal is being disregarded in favor of Forge Tracker and a different process (more centralized). Let's be clear upfront that we have no problem with any tool that does the job right. However, we would like to emphasize that Atos will not assume the role of a central requirement handler. Atos will contribute to this task by providing end user and technical requirements and is still open to contribute with any further coordination activities required by the WP leader, as far as they reasonably fit within our assigned efforts.

Dear all, since there are no particular issue we will skip the coming Friday/Monday calls. Instead you'll soon receive an invitation for a joint call in which we plan to show you a demo on how FI-WARE will handle requests (technical support + backlog entries) via the FORGE tracker system. Right now we are still in the evaluation phase of a proper process and the required tooling via FORGE (combination of tracker + tasks). My hope is that we can settle this issue by next Wednesday but I will keep you posted. As a final remark and in response to some requests be told that the D2.2 deliverable is just receiving a final touch via Juanjo (which is on vacations as you know so let us grant some extra grace period). Having said this I wish a nice weekend.
