4. ICT-CPM4 19-21 November 2014 n Basic Principles  General flow of acceptance is unchanged  Open/Transparent Process with use of JIRA and Twiki  Main roles: Time keeper of software acceptance Control scope of software acceptance Communication with SSG and RM Acceptance Procedure

5. ICT-CPM4 19-21 November 2014 Scopes/schedule: o Acceptance schedule and scope is not clear. o Subsystem scientists did not know the deadline of requirements, phase V tests, and schedule of acceptance.  Integrated Acceptance calendar (see Daniel’s presentation) Procedure and responsible difficult to be found: o One can not easily find acceptance info and its procedure. o Difficult to identify Subsystem Scientists for some tools.  Acceptance wiki: Focal point of each acceptance Acceptance Issues and solutions
