Sprint 10 IA Support

[A6-toma]

Ticket to track IA support work during sprint 10.

User Story

As a shared support team member, I need to understand IA needs each MHV product team has so I can ensure we align with design system requirements and provide the best user experience possible for Veterans and other users of VA.gov.

Description

Any MHV teams including: Secure Messaging, Medical Records, Medications, and also related Appointments & Check-In teams may need to request shared support services for information architecture. Within a given sprint, that work should be articulated through tasks (below) and updates (comments on the ticket) as needed.

Update: this sprint was primarily focused on onboarding with the various MHV teams. I have been added to all team UX meetings and will begin to attend those next week. I also have a number of 1:1 syncs with team leads on the calendar to begin to get an understanding of current IA shared support needs.

Will likely not get to the friendly IA audit of Medications in staging during this sprint - that work will roll over to the next sprint.
