XO procedure workflow

XO workflow as seen by DATA

Long procedures have the same requirements on DATA, therefore the text describing DATA’s handling of the XO procedure is largely the same as the PMO procedure text and only differences are noted below. If entire sub-sections are missing they are identical to the PMO versions.

Differences regarding the workflow are:

  • the unique project identifier for XO projects is OAnnn (Operations Affair)
  • the project identifier must be assigned before cost-estimates gathering. and not as shown after it.
  • Ligit means to be implemented.

XO meetings

In addition to the XO-Facility weekly operations meetings it makes sense to have a regular monthly meeting with the aim of maintaining information exchange on project status, resource availability, future work, etc.

PTC email lists

The SYMPA mailing list service is used to assist communication by defining

  • ptc-OAnnn-po, the PO contact for a project
  • ptc-OAnnn, the PO side list of contacts for a project
  • ptc-xo, the XO contacts

Mail filters applied to the email subject are used to shape PTC activity.

  • OAnnn, for project emails and Redmine tickets
  • PTC-XO, for PTC communication

Examples of PTC procedure email folders and filters are shown below.
