[Fiware-cloud] WP status

Dear All,

I updated the cloud edge chapter (both epics and asset) in our Cloud hosting chapter on the mediawiki.
There are other Epics mentioned in addition to the three I have added, they certainly have to be deleted (unless another partner contributes on these Epics).
Another point is that the exact split of Epics between WP4 and WP7 for what regards the Cloud Edge may still slightly evolve, depending on the clarification discussion we currently have with our chief architect (and which is about to be concluded).
We may discuss these points during the Monday conf call.
Regards,
Serge.

My comments below

One more important thing: it is very important to outline in the description of each Epic the scope of work to be done -- which also implies that we need to mention the baseline assets that will be used. It is important that whoever reads an Epic, understands what we are trying to, why, what already exists as part of the baseline assets, and what is the 'delta', or work to be done, associated with this particular work item -- integration, enhancements, new pieces, etc.

Regards,
Alex

P.S. I've completed the description of most of the RM epics

Andy, Fernando -- thanks for the initiative! This is very helpful. I will send more detailed comments later. One important comment, meanwhile:

Regarding user stories and sprints -- I'm not sure we should manage user stories in the same public tracker. That's why the "User Story" category and the "Sprint" field are not there.
Moreover, strictly speaking, those are not supposed to be part of the Backlog -- which is by definition a set of work items which have not been scheduled to any sprint.

So, besides completing and reviewing Themes and Epics in the backlog, and completing the description of baseline assets we want to use, what I would like to ask from all of you is to send me (or to the list) a much more detailed description, in whatever format is convenient for you (sets of bullets are fine for now -- we can then attach them to the wiki entry) of the following:
1) Features that you would like to include in the first minor release -- outlining specific scope of work that you expect to be completed by January, 31th, 2012, and
2) User Stories that you would like to include in the first sprint -- i.e., specific work items that will be done by November 30th.

For both, I would like to see a very clear 'acceptance criteria' -- how exactly will we measure and validate whether the corresponding work items are done, and what can others expect as an outcome of this work.

Thanks,
Alex

Thank you Andy,

I write them inline.


Tracker
* Only 2 from Alex and the rest are from Fernando (currently only EPICs and Features -- this is OK, as explained above)
* FI-WARE Backlog Entry Type without User-Story option.
* We have release box but we have to change it to FI-WARE Release Id box and FI-WARE Sprint Id box.
* We need to specify there for each EPIC, Feature and User Story in which Release and Sprint we plan to develop it. Not really. Only for the first one. The priorities might change over time, so we shouldn't try deciding up front for longer than one minor release.
* We have to select which Feature and User Stories we want to implement in the first minor release.

Wiki Asset Descriptions
*       None from Cloud Proxy
*       None from Self-service Interfaces
*       Listed but not detailed from Monitoring
*       None that covers T4.2 -- Updated
* We have to differentiate between basseline asserts and needed assests. The real asset is explained in more detail (e.g. Claudia in IaaS SM) and the others are explained with less details (see MySQL). But the sections that we use would be the same that all the assets have to use.

We should describe here *only* the baseline assets. If they have pre-requisites -- it is described in their documentation. and we may mention that within the description of the asset. But we should not mention them in the main list.

Wiki Epics
* Here I want to give you some clarification about the different between EPICs, Features and User Stories.
* EPICs is anything that we planned to develop (or have any idea about the expended time to develop it) in a period of time bigger than a minor release (3 months).
* Feature is anything that we planned to develop (or have any idea about the expended time to develop it) in a period of time less than a minor release (3 months).
* User Story is anything that we planned to develop (or have any idea about the expended time to develop it) in a period of time equal to a sprint (1 months). [or less]
* We have provided neither Features or User Stories except for IaaS SM and PaaS Mgmt. Yep. As I mentioned above, we must update both the Wiki and the Tracker with features for the first release, and also outline the stories for the first sprint.
* Anyway, I could see some Epics like  FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.ResourceManager.Security.APIs<https://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.ResourceManager.Security.APIs>
which is not a EPIC (IMHO), The Epic would be FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.ResourceManager.Security.  This should be a User Story. Well, it is a matter of scope and sizing. If we figure out that the entire Epic can be covered in a single sprint (which I don't believe is the case) -- we can definitely 'downgrade' it to a story.

IaaS Data Center Resource Management: 9/20 not complete
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.ResourceManager.MgmtFabric -- done
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.ResourceManager.QoS -- done
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.ResourceManager.Mobility -- done
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.ResourceManager.Placement -- done
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.ResourceManager.PhysPlatformMgmt
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.ResourceManager.Capacity -- done
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.ResourceManager.Toolkit
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.ResourceManager.Federation
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.ResourceManager.Security.APIs
* IMHO, OCCI is not a basseline asset, it is a specific interface within the rest of baseline assets (Openstack Nova, Glance, ...).
* Each Basseline assets have to describe the following subsections
Brief Description
Programming artifacts
Technologies used
Runtime pre-requisites (including Known software requirements)
IPR
Publicly available documentation

except the needed assests like MySQL in IaaS SM that only need to describe
Brief Description
IPR
Publicly available documentation
* There are no Features and User Stories

Object Storage
* Openstack switch, need to describe Technologies used and Runtime pre-requisites subsections.
* No Features
* No User Stories (remenber that *.Security.SSO and *.Security.RBAC should be a User Stories).

Security 1/2 not complete
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.Security.RBAC
* Openstack keynote, need to describe Technologies used and Runtime pre-requisites subsections.
* Check if the Epics are Features.

Self-Service Interfaces: 4/5 not complete
* No Baseline assets described
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.SelfServiceInterfaces.UserCLI
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.SelfServiceInterfaces.AdminCLI
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.SelfServiceInterfaces.AdminPortal
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.SelfServiceInterfaces.Security
* No Features, no User Stories

Cloud Proxy: 5/8 not complete
* No baseline asset described
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.CloudProxy.VirtualizationLayer
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.CloudProxy.ManagementAPI
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.CloudProxy.CloudAppProvisioning
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.CloudProxy.ManagementProxy
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.CloudProxy.Security
* Only Epics

Monitoring: 5/11 not complete
* Some baseline assets without description (working in progress between Fernando and Andy)
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.Monitoring.Analysis.SLAIntegration
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.Monitoring.Visualization
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.Monitoring.Management
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.Monitoring.Security.Metrics
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.Monitoring.ServiceMgrIntegration
* Only Epics.

Themes: 1/3 not complete
*       Accounting

@Andy TODO:
*       Supply monitoring asset details
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.Security.RBAC
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.Security.APIs
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.Monitoring.Visualization
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.Monitoring.Management
*       FIWARE.Epic.Cloud.Monitoring.Security.Metrics

@Alex TODO:
* Refine the tracker page.

@All
* Refine the Epics, Features and User Stories
* Provide baseline assets with their appropriate description information
* Provide information in the tracker system (be careful, in the FIWARE Cloud track section, not in the FIWARE track section)
* Provide the list of Features and User Stories to be implemented in the first minor release and put this information into the tracker system.


I think that this information could be send to the rest of cloud members. I hope that I could take some light into the dark.
