[Project-managers] New Draft Project Management Guidelines

[Ted Ralphs]

Hi all,

The TLC has finally finished another draft of the project management 
guidelines based on feedback regarding the first one. This is a pretty 
substantial revision based on much discussion, but I think it's a big 
improvement. We've done a lot to try to improve the flexibility of the 
project acceptance and maintenance process by adding project 
classifications. There is no longer a "one size fits all" solution. A 
big change is the formal recognition of project classifications based on 
the maturity of each project. Project submission and maintenance 
requirements are based on the classification level the project manager 
wishes to maintain. We've proposed the creation of a new "repository 
manager" position to be responsible for overseeing periodic reviews of 
projects and deciding on changes in classification. Please let us know 
what you think. We will be discussing the guidelines at Tuesday's TLC 
meeting.
