Dear all,
I am e-mailing to ask for a re-review of the Instrument View Epic (https://isisneutronmuon.atlassian.net/browse/SS-117 ).
The requests made to change the epic to take account of GUIs that use Instrument View (e.g. ALFView) have been completed.
We have also checked with the science areas requested. For those that did not respond initially we gave them until 1st November for comment otherwise we would assume assent. We have now received all the responses we can expect - please see the other e-mail chain to the list for more details. Therefore I am asking for the board to make a decision as soon as possible on this one as we would like to start work on it.
We have not done this before but I think we would need a yes or no in writing (i.e. response to this e-mail).
Let me know if you have any questions
Many thanks
Sarah

Dear all,
Looking back at my notes from the prioritisation meeting last week I realised that I didn't have all the information I need. With regards the Instrument View epic which areas do we need to show the Epic to and get sign off? I want to be very clear about this to avoid any further problems with this epic.
I think it is just
- Molecular Spectroscopy
- Muons
- Reflectometry
Is that correct?
They don't need to be stakeholders - just review the epic, provide feedback and once they are happy say that they agree with it.
Thanks
Sarah

Hi,
I know not the most exciting topic! However, the existing Terms of Reference, i.e. [?docx icon] MantidProgrammeBoard.docx<https://stfc365.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/MantidProgrammeBoard/Shared%20Do…>, is hugely out of date.
Please see [?docx icon] Proposed update to the MantidProgrammeBoard terms - Oct 2024.docx<https://stfc365.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/MantidProgrammeBoard/Shared%20Do…> for proposed updated Terms, which is ~600 words long as compared to current ~1600 words long Terms.
Motivation for doing this also is that we have new members coming in/out with Steve/Rob and Jonathan/Gui, hence a closer to reality description of this board might be helpful.
Note the wording of the Terms says that it needs approval including by the ISIS Computing Division Head (as I read it). Hence before passing it to Hannah, either before or on Thursday please don't hesitate to provide feedback in that meeting, here or using Word comments/track changes.
Best,
Anders

Dear all,
Anders is not available to chair the meeting on Wednesday and so I will be chairing instead with Januka leading on the Epic Board parts.
Jonathan has updated the agenda - MPB Epic Prioritisation Agenda 2024-10-09<https://stfc365.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/MantidProgrammeBoard/Shared%20Do…>
We have 1 Epic in the Implementing (Persevere) column and a further 5 in the Analyzing column to decide whether or not to continue with. If you can therefore take a look at these before the meeting to help speed up discussions on the day? Remember you will be able to ask Richard questions about the Bragg Peak Epic in the Implementing (Persevere) column as part of his presentation to help with your decision making.
Thanks
Sarah

Dear all,
So far we've only had one Workflow submitted for the Profiling Workflow Epic. Thank you to Max for sending through one from Reflectometry. This means that we are unable to deliver it this release at we'd hoped. It's a shame because that first workflow has already been used to identify 5 improvements to Mantid - see https://github.com/mantidproject/mantid/issues/37149 for the full list for Workflow A. Where possible we are trying to fix these for v6.11 release in October.
A big thank you to both Steve and David for trying to get people to send us workflows through. I know it's cycle and a busy time but if people do have time to send Rob workflows we'd be very grateful. As you can see it is allowing us to find areas we can improve!
Many thanks
Sarah

Good news Rob D on way over to the ISIS 40th celebration today okayed to replace Steve King on the MPB. Can Rob be added to this mailing list please and be invited to the next MPB meeting so as to have a level of overlap with Steve and where both attend (assuming both available).
Thanks,
