[WIMS] MFD Alerts Project Charter

[WIMS] MFD Alerts Project Charter

The PWG Process requires new working groups to have a charter that is voted
on by the PWG as a whole. Working Groups were envisioned  as having a
specific, defined and limited set of objectives, and an corresponding end
date.  However, with the quasi-permanent nature of the WIMS/PMP working
groups, we have fallen into the mode of initiating new projects as they seem
reasonable, without going through the formal PWG process of creating  and
having PWG-wide approval of  specific charter. This may lead to projects
that do not have the  awareness and/or approval o f the overall PWG
membership.

 

At the last face-to-face meeting, three WIMS/PMP projects were identified. 

MFD Alerts

Coherent MFD Management Interfaces

CIM  Printer Profile

 

It was agreed that these projects should have project charters and overall
PWG approval before we proceed. I am creating draft project  charters for
review by the WIMS/PMP, with discussion intended over the ail list and at
the next  WIMS conference call, Thursday April 21 at 1PM EDT. The first
charter draft, for MFD Alerts is at 

ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/wd/wd-mfdalerts-charter-20110413.pdf.

 

Please review and comment.

 

Thanks,

Bill Wagner

Chairman, WIMS/PMP
