PresNet Development 2010

From TDL Wiki

Development efforts for PresNet in 2010 are using the TDL co-cirectors as product owners with the TDL chief technology officer acting as their proxy. User stories have been selected to create a proof of concept system and create domain expertise among the TDL development staff. (See this article for descriptions of common Scrum terms.)
