2nd Workshop on the XFEL Collaborative Design Effort

Primary addressed audience: All XFEL colleagues with steering obligations The Workshop objectives are to: - Adapt the XFEL Technical Reviews procedures to the individual project activities and WPs - Identify sensitive information and requirements for the information approval and access policy - Provide an update about progress and remaining open ends since our 1st WS on CDE. The first two issues become increasingly important since most WPs work already hard on their designs and some even want to launch major tenders soon. Technical Reviews are important project follow-up means because they trigger follow-up actions in an institutionalised way on both ends, i.e. the WPs receive formal approval from the PM and can go ahead or, in case problems become identified further remedy actions will be initiated. – Therefore, reviews provide and enhance the planning reliability for the benefit of all project parties. Since the reviewed information is relevant for subsequent project activities of many WPs, approval procedures are needed which ensure "validity" and "up-to-dateness" while simultaneously suiting the collaboration. – And confidential information (e.g. due to running tenders) must be handled carefully, which requires a proper policy for release and access rights.
