Sample ballot sent out to nomination committee
Scott Duncan stated that Jim Moore sent some comments to John Scott to fold into 828.
10-15 participants in the agile methods working group, Herb Krazner, Mary Popendyke, and Don Schaffer are included as participants. J. Moore suggested that S. Duncan contact Phillipe Kruchten so that he may also participate. Focus should remain on acquisition and the responsibility of acquirers as they contract for this type of development support. S. Duncan wants to broker agreement from the agile community that will be reflected in the recommended practice on what they would be willing to do to support the acquisition community.
1517 - part of the response to negative balloters during the reaffirmation was that these would be addressed during further maintenance; J. Moore will review negatives and recommend an approach.
1058 –ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7 is about to revise their
standard on software project management. That standard quotes requirements from
the 12207 standard and supplements it with guidance that is closely aligned
with the PMBOK. We are proposing that SESC should "contribute" the
old 1058 to the project. The material regarding the content of the plan would
be harmonized with the other standards and incorporated into an annex of the
SC7 standard. This would be done in a fashion that is coordinated with SESC so
that both organizations would end up adopting a single standard ISO/IEC/IEEE
16326 that would incorporate the best of both existing standards. That would
obviate the need to update 1058.
In order to improve classification of balloters, S2ESC has requested the following role-based categories be substituted for those now in use:
Academic Education
Professional and Industrial Training
Student
Research
Consulting
Policy and Regulation
Enterprise Management
Project Management
SW or Systems Technical Management
SW or Systems Development
SW or Systems Maintenance
SW or Systems Acquisition
SW or Systems Testing
SW or Systems Integration
SW or Systems Tool Supply
Quality Management
Process Management
Other (please explain)
