Initiation
1. Meeting held 23/10
Present: Fraser Muir (HSS), Abdul Majothi, Mike Holmes (USD), Rachel Lacaille (SACS), Andrew McFarlane, Maurice Franceschi, David Watters, David Smyth , Franck Bergeret (IS Apps)
1. Roles and responsibilities
- System ownership
With the transfer of ownership of SMART from USD to SACS taking place on 1st Nov, there is question whether SACS should not be taking the Senior Role for that project. That would avoid confusion with users when it comes to user support.
Action: Fraser to discuss and agree with Karen Osterburg (SACS)
- Project sponsor to be Fraser (and not Janet Rennie)
- Fraser to ensure that HSS users are engaged with this project for requirements and testing, as well as CSE users for testing.
12/11 Update: Senior User role to be done by Mike Holmes (USD)
2. Deliverables
Agreed the following three deliverables must be done:
- test system scalability as all HSS schools but one are likely to use SMART (from current 2 HSS schools).
- Pass/Fail and handling zeros enhancement .
- Reporting: 2 reports being designed by Andrew (IS Service Management)
As well as enhancements to be prioritised from the current WIKI list (https://www.wiki.ed.ac.uk/display/CHSSConsultancy/SMART+Queries+-+Outstanding). Meeting to be held on 29/10 by USD, SACS with SMART representatives. The outcome will be a prioritised list of requirements that can be used for estimation by IS Dev. Agreed not to use the users’ wish list.
