Q: Should everything we do in Linaro use the PRD Process?
A: No, it should be used when it’s product related or whenever we believe it brings value to us.Q: No one has informed me of this, how can I get more information?
A: Reach out to <tpm@linaro.org> and we’ll give a walk-through.Q: Who is responsible for the PRD documents?
A: The TPM team is the owner and responsible that it gets the attention needed. The TPM team will invite people from other teams to review, contribute and give feedback.Q: Is it a document created once and then closed when everything has been completed?
A: No, it’s meant to be a living document that is continuously updated (relates to “3”).Q: The way we approach PRD seems to be a bit different to how other companies do PRD work?
A: Correct, Linaro is different to many other companies. We’re often bound to commitments by our members, hence we’ll have to tweak the PRD process to fit our needs.Q: Who can read the PRDs?
A: Right now, they’re only accessible to Linaro employees, i.e., not accessible to members, assignees etc. Perhaps this will change in the future.Q: I have an idea and I want to try use the PRD process for it, what should I do?
A: Reach out to <tpm@linaro.org> and we will guide you.Q: What is the cadence for PRD reviews?
A: Ad-hoc as needed.Q: Can we re-use a requirement number in a PRD if the previous idea was dropped?
A: No, if an item is dropped, do a strike-through or something similar. We want to be able to refer to ideas that we’ve dropped. Also it’s likely that we reference PRD requirements elsewhere and we don’t want to end with references pointing to something totally different.Q: Can I get a high level milestone roadmap?
A: Yes, intention is to have them in the PRD document. If not found there, reach out to <tpm@linaro.org> and will address it.Q: Can I get an engineering roadmap? I.e., a higher granularity of milestones?
A: Yes, talk to the PM person in the PRD.
