Epic Goal

As we approach the General Availability (GA) of OCP v4.22, it is critical that ALBO team begins planning the File-Based Catalog (FBC) release. To ensure ALBO product is available to customers on the new version at launch, ALBO must ship a new FBC before the GA date.

Why is this important?

Ensuring the FBC is released ahead of OCP v4.22 GA is essential to maintain ALBO’s availability at launch. Missing this milestone could result in the operator not being included in the upcoming release

Planning Done Checklist

• Epic must be Linked to a +Parent Feature
• Target version+ must be set
• Assignee+ must be set
• (Enhancement Proposal is Implementable
• (No outstanding questions about major work breakdown
• (Are all Stakeholders known? Have they all been notified about this item?

  1. Please use the “Discussion Needed: Service Delivery Architecture Overview” checkbox to facilitate the conversation with SD Architects. The SD architecture team monitors this checkbox which should then spur the conversation between SD and epic stakeholders. Once the conversation has occurred, uncheck the “Discussion Needed: Service Delivery Architecture Overview” checkbox and record the outcome of the discussion in the epic description here.
  2. The guidance here is that unless it is very clear that your epic doesn’t have any managed services impact, default to use the Discussion Needed checkbox to facilitate that conversation.
