PNF USE CASE COMMITMENTS BY PROJECT:
The following table indicates commitment by project. The impacts have been accepted and are supported by the PTL of each ONAP Platform component and corresponding Jira Tickets are in place. There are three states:
N/A = A "N/A" means that there is no interaction, no dependency, and no work for that Use Case for that component.
? = A "?" means that there is not final commitment from the PTL for that project, and no Jira ticket exists yet.
YES = This means that (1) PTL INFORMED & COMMITTED - has agreed to support the changes needed for that Use Case, (2) DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT - there is development (company) support (3) JIRA TICKETS - and a Jira ticket exists. Please see the corresponding WIKI page for that Use Case to find out more details on impact, PTL support and Jira Ticket(s).
NOTE: The CTRLR column includes CC-SDK, CDS, SDN-C, APP-C. Including what used to be SDN-R has been under the SDN-C "umbrella".
