Working Group Overview

• Based on current registration numbers, expect
  10-20 people to included in your working group
• This template is a waveguide it describes the
  type of results that we would like to see and
  provides a standard method to report on them
  your groups deliberations may take you in
  another direction
• Remember, goal of working group is to collect,
  integrate and categorize information consensus
  is NOT required.
• Use the high-level value stream as a starting
  point (you can delete the other 3)
• Revise/update the value stream into its own
  context
• Generate an IPO diagram for each step in the
  value stream
• Creating a Domain Collaboration Diagram may be
  difficult
• Start at 50,000 ft level and decompose as
  required.
• Remember, the goal is to identify the entities
  and to characterize the interface between
  entities
• Brainstorm potential Use Cases
• Categorize them, complete Table
• Try to fill out Use Case Template for key use
  cases
• Brainstorm and vote (use dots) on
• Standards, Constraints, Issues, Enablers
• Characterize the Importance/Relevance of the Top 3

  stream (entire working group) session (130

  generate the following artifacts (230 330)
• IPO Diagrams
• Domain Collaboration Diagram(s)
• Use Cases List/Examples
• Reconvene entire working group to review inputs
  (330 400)
• Report out to Plenary (400 500)

Feedback on the GEOSS Value Stream

• Value Stream does not reflect a closed system
  diagram needs to reflect feedback loops
• Value Stream does not capture the economic flow
• Value Stream does not reflect an interaction with
  the business case(s)
• Value stream does not capture the metrics/quality
  management flow
• Requirements drives should be the markets/users
