Dr_Keith: Add and explanation to the roll in the use cases

<Fazio> New Use Case: 4.2.1 Use case one

<Fazio> A software company is responding to an RFP. They’ve been asked to demonstrate that they can retain the accuracy and timeliness of their VPATs and refresh them as needed.

<Fazio> Dimensions:

<Fazio> The critical dimensions are knowledge and Skills, ICT Dev Lifecycle, and Personnel.

<Fazio> Roles that could be involved in use case one:

<Fazio> • Accessibility consultants, advisors, influencers, disability specialists, outside contractors and industry organizations, chief accessibility/diversity and inclusion officers

<Fazio> • Designers, developers, product managers, project managers, IT, QA, researchers/User Experience

<Fazio> • Instructor/trainer, teaching resource developer

<Fazio> • Content provider/producer

<Fazio> • Lawyer, organizational policy-maker, standards maintainer

<Fazio> • Employees with disabilities

Dr_Kieth: Helpful to have it in each use case with each common term for the role.

NehaJ: If you add every use case it will be redundant.

Dr_Kieth: Explanation for roles may have different explanation per use case based on how it is applied to model.

<stacey> we can remove me from the queue - all good

<Dr_Keith> I got kicked out of IRC - can you provide the link again to the use cases from Stacy and Sherri?

JeffK: What Dr Keith has done is valuable.

Concerned that we have an exhaustive list.

Add contact to each skill we’ll have a big doc.

Reduce the number of use case (3)

Look at the key role involved in skill area and add explanation.

List other skills.

stacey: Good to add examples however two issues:

1. Too prescriptive

2. Things could get too long (maybe fewer use cases)

Dr_Keith: Limiting use cases & provide samples

Leave all but only examples for some

Breaking this off into a help document

<Fazio> Mark: could define roles in one section, add additional context in case studies, separating both

JeffK: Don’t know how much detail we need to go into. Should know what the skill sets and roles are in org.

Fazio: Work with mom & pop business, who don’t understand all roles and need the explanation.

However, it would make the doc long.

JeffK: While we don’t have all the definitions of roles, we do have prove points. They should be able to figure out who should work on the proof points.

Fazio: Dr Keith to work on an example
