@alatempa24 can this be closed? CC: @lisacapaccioli

[lisacapaccioli]

@pacerwow I have no idea what this is and it's almost a year old. It looks like a template for production ready tasks. It's not related to anything that Carbs is doing, so if Team Trex doesn't need it, I think you can close it.

[shiragoodman]

@lisacapaccioli this is your Collaboration Cycle Request ticket. It's the Platform process for verifying that the product you're building meets the standards for VA.gov.

[lisacapaccioli]

@shiragoodman Was this ever completed? I have no idea what to do with this. I don't see any names of DBEX team members involved. (cc @pacerwow)

[shiragoodman]

@lisacapaccioli it doesn't look like the team engaged with us at all. This ticket is used to track work going through the Collaboration Cycle, so it's the VFS teams job to follow the instructions in the ticket for a Design Intent, Midpoint Review, and/or Staging Review when the team feels ready.

Is the Disability Comp Application (21-526EZ), 4142 update still something DBEX is working on?

[lisacapaccioli]

@shiragoodman - DBEX-Carbs currently not working on anything for 4142. If DBEX-TREX is not working on this then I think we should just close it. My guess is someone either dropped the ball on this or it was done and this ticket was just hanging around. @pacerwow It has a label DBEX-TREX so I leave it up to you.

[pacerwow]

@shiragoodman this ticket is very old - I saw the old Slack thread but still not sure what this work is. I'll ask around to see.

[shiragoodman]

It's no issue if you want to close it out. I'll let you make that call.
