| Prioritization of User Stories- This is an iterative process - work with Project Team and Scope Team
- Leverage other SME Team leads to find the optimal process
- Use the work that's come before - prior specs, investigations to guide prioritization
- KISS - get some spec teams started, then evaluate as you go
- Utilize the OLE Roadmap for priorities in planning
Statements of Work/Organizing Assignments- Formulate SOW's for each spec team (see SOW template & samples)
- Use the SOW as a template for thinking through assignments
- Leverage your SME Team's expertise to get this started
- KISS - you don't have to know everything, but can draft Goals to assist team efforts
Managing competing priorities- Stagger spec team starts - have multiple teams going, but stagger them to manage spec writing vs. review periods and re-prioritization
- Start Spec Team #1
- Start Spec Team #2
- Complete Specification reviews for Team #1
- Start Spec Team #3
- Complete Specification reviews for Team #2
- ...and so on...
- Have SME Team members be "owners" of different tasks and administration
- Circulate agendas and action lists for commitments by TT SME Team members
- Solicit help from the Functional Council
- Rotate meeting facilitation based on topics

| Specification Reviews- Leverage the expertise of your SME Team
- What's missing in specs? (initial Gap Analysis)
- What's in specs that needs more details? Send back to spec team with comments.
- You don't have to rewrite the specs - leverage your Subject Matter Experts on spec teams by giving them feedback
- Keep it moving - use email distribution lists to facilitate offline work and assignments between meetings
Gap Analysis- "You know what you know" - now use it!
- This is iterative process - things will get missed
- Testing, other specs, and other teams can often identify anything you've missed
- Be critical, be thoughtful, but avoid "analysis paralysis"
Technical tasks and needs, as identified- Utilize your Technical Council member to lead technical investigations
- Contact TC members on other SME Teams or the Technical Council distribution list for more support
- Talk to Project Team, Developers - facilitate joint efforts & understanding
- If you've identified a critical technical need or roadblock, maybe someone else has too - communicate with other SME Teams & Project Team
