Engaging CSS on Project and Service Releases

This is an in-progress document for a project and service release checklist. It applies to:

• Pilot projects visible outside of IS&T
• Minor upgrades and changes to core or high-visibility products and services
• Upgrades and changes to products and services
• New releases
• Phased roll-outs
• Things we firmly believe will have "no user-visible impact"
• Things we firmly believe will be intuitive and easy to understand

Development Plans for Shared Resources

So far what we have here is an experiment in how this kind of wiki space can be used to really enhance the collaborative working style of the css-managers.  To use the wiki is to experiment with use of the wiki. 

CSS Networked File Space

This is the Working Plan for Shared Filespace, under development and to be reviewed at a CSS-managers meeting in September, 2006.   It was fostered by an earlier discussion of Shared document models for CSS Management, starting with financial documents and the staffing resource model.  

Documentation of Important Business Processes 

The idea here is to document for everyone to see some of the idiosyncratic processes used to produce important objectives held in trust by CSS.
