Hi TSC, Looking at the proposal for the Jakarta release schedule, we still seem to be following a relatively "waterfall" approach to project planning, which seems to somewhat go against the proposal for a new release cadence as agreed previously: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Release+Cadence+Proposal?preview=/71835201/84657465/release%20cadence.pdf
Although perhaps it's just that the release schedule only indicates formal cut-off dates, but not the expectation on the development model during those dates. Before we vote to approve (or not) in the TSC meeting tomorrow, could we take a brief discussion on potential clarifications that could be made. Specifically, while there is a long period between M0 and M3 / M4, projects should be encouraged / expected to make regular small incremental deliveries into integration, to de-risk the chance of a big-bang approach impacting our timelines and individual's personal wellbeing towards the end of the project cycle. One proposal could be to introduce a specific, regular integration / release train approach, that individual projects are expected to regularly deliver into - something like this conceptually: [cid:[email protected]] This would mean - assuming most projects caught the train a few different times during the release period - any potential issues can be caught early, isolated and triaged before causing a bottleneck. Is this something we can discuss for inclusion in the release schedule?
