What I’ve Accomplished This Week:
- Drafted NHDD Use Cases and discussed with Jon, Joe, and Andy
- Complete draft of NHDD IPS Use Case
Challenges, Questions, Lessons Learned:
- The initial draft of the Use Cases sparked a discussion about conceptual alignment. It was helpful to talk that through as a group and a good reminder to me to check assumptions about conceptual alignment before getting too far along with concrete deliverables.
What I’m Planning to Accomplish Next Week:
- Offline July 4-5 and July 9
Dates: July 8-12, 2024
What I’ve Accomplished This Week:
- Updated NHDD Use Cases and created a slide deck
- Reviewed the Use Cases deck with Jon, Joe, and Andy
- Started drafting the Community component of the NHDD Conceptual Framework
- Started writing a midway progress report for my JHSPH Practicum. I’ll turn this into a blog post for OCL as well.
- Prep for additional conversations about NHDD future state
- Updated the gantt chart where I’m tracking the fellowship work plan
Challenges, Questions, Lessons Learned:
- I found it challenging to write NHDD use cases that were specific to IPS instead of generic. However, by trying to write IPS specific use cases, I ended up with good generic use cases to include in the Use Cases deck. After re-reviewing the IPS materials, I updated the IPS examples to make them more specific.
- The Use Cases have taken more time than I expected because there was more high-level discussion required before it was possible to distill the concepts into a concrete product. I’ve updated the timeline for the remainder of the fellowship work plan with this in mind. Luckily, there was a buffer in August so the use cases taking longer than expected doesn’t put other work at risk.
What I’m Planning to Accomplish Next Week:
- Finalize the Use Cases deck
- Finish writing and share midway progress report
- Review and update the Community component of the NHDD Conceptual Framework
