Subject: RE: [ubl-psc] Draft 1 plan for UN/CEFACT harmonisation (procurement)
Mark, I have reviewed the draft plan that you have prepared and have the following comments: 1) Cover page - Please change your title from Chair to Co-Chair. 2) There needs to be a clear definition of the term harmonization. What does it include and exclude. 3) Before there can be a complete harmonization, it must include harmonization at both the structural and semantic levels. If review of the structural gaps are omitted, then gaps with the core components and supplementary comments will not be addressed. 4) Any harmonization that is initiated before there is resolution on the interpretation of CCTS will need to be revisited and changes will be required by either or both parties. I did not see anything in the schedule specifically that addresses this requirement. It exists for all documents and is significant enough to be a separate general task. 5) Item 1 from Freddy's plans says "a. that the harmonization group comprising UBL Procurement members and TBG1 members should work to produce updated and new Business Requirement Specifications" 6) I do not see anything in the proposed plan that generally provides for feedback to the UBL TC or TBG1. While this might be considered part of the details, I believe it is important to be included in this initial proposed schedule to emphasize the joint coordination aspects of the project. 7) Is the UBL harmonization team aware that parts of the BRS are based on a specific interpretation of CCTS 2.01 that differs from UBL's interpretation? Is resolution of these differences included in the proposed schedule as a critical dependency? IMHO, a complete understanding of the level of effort to complete the identified tasks to date does not exist yet. If project planners do not understand the level of complexity of the tasks to be performed, any proposed completion dates can only be broad estimates. My suggestion is that a clearly worded caveat be included in the document for future understanding and reference.
