7. TODO This is all work in progress !!! Much remains to be done
Iterate to a workable model...
Converge on the test plan...
Get our terminology straight (verification/validation, quality assurance/control/management)
Define the I&T processes (!)
Define SV exercises consistent with the construction plan
Understand how much work there is to be done, make everything is reflected in DM plan and milestones
Establish the System Science Team (SST)
Hire and/or appoint the SV Scientist
We’ll be working (hard) over the next few weeks to get this finalized.
