@Rankazze are you reading a book about the items in the glossary above. Can we talk about it?

[alexandrastubbs]

This has been added to agenda for PM TB.

[alexandrastubbs]

Bonnie & Alex have discussed and decided to test the mocked up version of the SDLC in practice. We will then identify which pieces need to be removed and/or adapted based on the site team operating model.

Issue #602 is ready to be used to test the development model.

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

Will not be worked on here. Have created a new issue on Product Management repo
