Planning Council
Planning Council Mission
From the development process "The Planning Council is responsible for establishing a coordinated Simultaneous Release (a.k.a, "the release train") that supports the Themes and Priorities in the Roadmap. The Planning Council is responsible for cross-project planning, architectural issues, user interface conflicts, and all other coordination and integration issues. The Planning Council discharges its responsibility via collaborative evaluation, prioritization, and compromise."
Call and Meeting Schedule
Planning Council calls take place the first Wednesday of each month. A Google calendar is used to manage call dates and times. For the call-in numbers, please see the "Review" phone number on the Portal page.
