The overview, led by moderator Deborah Chu on Tuesday, offered interested parties a chance to ask questions. The question period will end at 5 p.m. Tuesday; here are some questions that were answered live, most of which were answered by the CDT's Adrian Farley.
- When is the RFI release date?
- Do the current 24 vendors have to respond to the RFI to remain on the list? Will existing vendors be grandfathered in?
- Can a vendor add classifications at any time?
- If CMAS is current, does it need to be refreshed?
- How many RFOs have been issued?
- Does open source/free software have to be modern?
- What is anticipated in the coming year?
- Do ADVQ vendors need to submit a mapping for the new category?
"The going forward approach, it's going to be product design and research in one group and development and DevOps in the second. So we are going to require things like product roadmap, high-fidelity prototypes, research plans and profiles, user journeys in the product design and research. We'll be providing to the development and DevOps team a backlog of activities and tasks that they will have to build out," Farley said.
The webinar can be seen here, and answers will be made available after the question close date. The pool's GitHub can be seen here. It provides documents and lessons learned from previous refreshes and will be updated with details about this cycle. Another refresh is expected in Q4 of 2018.
