   3. Bryan proposes that we use JIRA to track the user stories, and Kanban to follow their process from proposal, thru approval, thru implementation, etc (bryan_att, 19:43:47)
   4. no objection to that proposal (bryan_att, 19:44:05)
   5. StevenWright: is there a mapping to scenarios? (bryan_att, 19:45:06)
   6. AlexVul: user stories relate to scenarios that fulfill a stakeholder's (user) needs, e.g. for VNF Onboarding there are a variety of personas (users) who interact with the system for different goals of the overall onboarding process (bryan_att, 19:47:07)
   7. AlexVul: at some point we need to be able to capture needs and agreements (bryan_att, 19:52:31)
   8. bryan_att: that can be done in JIRA (bryan_att, 19:52:46)
   9. AlexVul: Open-O has a particular way to address onboarding as an example, how would those capabilities plug in in support of these goals? (bryan_att, 20:02:08)
   10. bryan_att: we would integtrate what we could into a scenario in OPNFV based upon the technical effort to do so, and the resources available to do it (bryan_att, 20:09:13)
   11. Action items: (bryan_att, 20:54:27)
   12. Focus on VNF package definition and open source support in MANO WG, with specific aspects driven in the Models project (bryan_att, 20:55:21)
   13. Setup JIRA epics etc for the various Polestar user stories to help manage the flow of the proposed user stories into implemenation, using Kanban as an organizational tool (bryan_att, 20:56:54)
   14. Look at VNF lifecycle and agree upon terminology for the stages (bryan_att, 21:37:28)
   15. Current focus in the Models project is on the first steps of deployment (instantiation) but we can expand into the onboarding phase as we get resources; it will be better to converge the work in a single project in OPNFV, with the larger frame/goals set by the Polestar and MANO WGs.
