Arkady - What is the action that demonstrates the Implementation plan has been accepted?

I think for a User Story to move through the stages will take multiple releases - regardless on how we split it up.

The TC has jurisdiction over new projects.

Suggest we split middle one into two:
2. User Story Prepared - Implementation plan has been established, gap
      analysis performed and accepted; all projects impacted notified/created

   3. User Story Ready - Implementation plan has been accepted, projects/specs/blueprints created and json file updated.


Two reasons. One, if we need to create a new project we need to bring it to the board.
That will take more than one release.
Two, it may take several releases before projects accept specs and blueprints.
Thus, we are in the state where user story is defined but not ready for lengthy period of time.

Thanks,
Arkady

Team - During today's meeting as a follow on to Barcelona, we entered into a (suprisingly) lively discussion around establishing a "definition of done" for user stories. Among the issues that were raised was whether the PWG considers a user story done when we provide it to the development teams or when the required deliverables are in the product.

The current consensus is that there are three stages that we need to
follow:

   1. User Story Defined - The user story is Complete & Merged into Repo,
      json file created, sent notice of the user story to other WGs and
      merged their comments
   2. User Story Ready - Implementation plan has been established, gap
      analysis performed, specs/blueprints created and json file updated
   3. User Story Implemented - Code is released that enables someone to
      achieve the user story
