Parallel Session SDN-C/APP-C/SDN-Agent

Purpose

This template is to be used for the “Parallel Deep Dive Sessions to Align with architecture / Use cases” at the may ONAP developers event

Instructions.

The purpose of each section is to translate the use cases and functional architecture into specific identified needs for the components, and to identify potential projects to be proposed.  There are three parts to this exercise:

  1. Identify needs based on the use case and architecture on this module, and potential dependencies on other modules or external artifacts.

  2. Group these into projects.  Consider that coding, documentation, and testing is required.   Include an initial scope for the project.

  3. If time, mapping the needs into the projects.

The need identification table has the following columns

-          Identified need: <slogan for the identified need>

-          Brief need description: <a few sentences describing the need>

-          Driver:<Related use case or architecture change, if any>

-          Dependencies:<identify dependencies on other modules or artifacts (e.g. other onap module, models, …)

-          Project: <If time, after the projects are identified, suggest in which project the need would best fit>

Time keeping suggestion:  The exercise time is 45 minutes.  A good practice would be to split into 20 minutes on need identification and 20 minutes on project proposals.
