Summer and Fall Release FunctionalityRedistributed

• On May 25th in the AMIT meeting in Austin it was agreed that the Summer and

Fall release functionality will be redistributed

• Redistribution was based on the following:

– Design was complete and ready for summer

– Or vice versa the design is more complex and still in process so it must wait for fall

– Development can be completed in time for Summer release

Fall Design Approach

• Late July upon request one on one requirements design workshops with REPs

to understand individual requirements to ensure that Fall baseline framework

for HAN and third parties as well as other functionality will support future

needs.

• August – September parallel AMIT HAN functionality design discussions as

appropriate to support Fall third party and other functions.
