The NGAO project will finalize the System and Functional requirements over the course of the next week, starting Monday March 1, 2010.
The Systems Engineering team, the three NGAO institutional leads, and those leading the preliminary design of each major NGAO system are requested to meet each afternoon for intensive editing and review of specific sections of the requirements. The pace will be fast and subsystem leads will be expected to undertake a few subsequent hours of 'homework' in resolving TBD's/TBC's not rapidly addressable. Completion of this homework will be requested within 48 hours of each review session.
The goal of these working meetings is a complete set of NGAO requirements that can be released during the week of March 8. At the same time, we will place key interface, error budget and related flowdown spreadsheets under formal version control:
The Systems Engineering team will prepare subsets of the requirement database for discussion during each session. After these issues are addressed, there may be time for subsystem leads to raise additional issues / questions / or suggestions.
Because we will be referencing the Contour database extensively, we request that individuals arrange to meet in one location having both phone and on-line computer access to Contour (only these accounts are enabled for the week Keck: Neyman, Wizinowich, COO: Dekany, UCSC: Gavel).
(Note, discussion of the Interface Requirements will be done with the associated subsystem)
