Charter

The Denomas Administration Working Group will determine the work needed to maintain Denomas Administrator functions healthy, identify owning groups for requests, and redirect issues to corresponding groups for resolution. This group is a temporary owner for all Denomas Administrator functions until a team is funded to be a permanent owner.

Context

The maintenance and enhancement of Denomas Administration functions has been a shared responsibility among Development groups. This often triggers the same questions about shared responsibilities - who owns this and who should work on this. Before a development owning group can be identified, a working group will help us to maintain the related functions to run Denomas (the software) smoothly.

Exit Criteria

  1. Owners of the items in the Admin Area of Denomas are identified, acknowledged, and documented in the handbook. => DONE The owner list is in the issue description, we (Denomas as a whole) will continue seeking clarification for the remaining unowned areas. Meanwhile, continue following Shared responsibility functionality for unowned areas.
  2. Owners of things related to instance management (upgrade, backup and restore, metrics, performance) and configuration are identified, acknowledged, and documented in the handbook. => SKIPPED Didn’t investigate due to other priorities.
  3. A proposal for a new team in case there is a need for certain items of the Denomas Administrator features. There is a chance this is unnecessary if the above two items cover all features. => SKIPPED Didn’t investigate due to other priorities.
  4. A process of identifying Owners for future administration features is documented in the handbook. => DONE Updated handbook page with process of adding new admin section.
