Feedback from MGNT (Nathalie & Rob)

  • Issue of no product owner (owns the product backlog) heard by MGNT.

  • Issue of no product manager (owns business case and product roadmap) heard by MGNT.

  • MNGT needs a vision board (i.e., big picture) from the EGIS team.

  • MNGT needs a product roadmap from the EGIS team that communicates what we are doing and when.

  • MNGT is there to help remove IMPEDIMENTS. The onus is on the EGIS team to self-organize, collaborate, and move the EGIS project forward.

  • The EGIS team needs to find a better way and do a better job at communicating what it is we are doing and engage with others in the spirit of collaboration.

  • Complaint from Microsoft at the DM-level that EGIS team is not engaging Microsoft and using their expertise to go faster.

  • Complaint from TC stakeholders that some EGIS team members are rude and arrogant during meetings.

  • Develop a TEAM CHARTER (see https://www.scrumalliance.org/learn-about-scrum/agile-atlas/agile-atlas-common-practices/roles/may-2013/team-charter for more information about a team charter).

  • Need to increase COLLABORATION with other Digital Services groups.

  • Proactively engage stakeholders -- e.g., invite them to sprint demos and if they don't attend, at least we tried.

  • EGIS team needs to develop an on-boarding process for TC WG stakeholders.

  • EGIS team needs to develop a readiness checklist for use with the on-boarding process to vet if a TC WG stakeholder is ready or can be serviced by the enterprise GIS.
