FRA Reporting Requirements MVP | ON TRACK | Progress: 46% | Estimated Completion Date: May 15, 2025
Note: Prioritization of #3398 should take precedence. Review can be couple with #3407, since they collectively create the proposed FRA interface.
Note: We are currently planning to send out the email to STTs for early access testing recruitment on 2/28. I am planning to coordinate details on this as part of Prod Sync on 2/28.
Regional Staff Access to TDP | ON TRACK | Progress: 20% | Estimated Completion Date: May 6, 2025
Note: We would like to request QASP review on #3385 as soon as possible to ensure we can remain on track here.
OFA Regional Staff UI MVP | ON TRACK | Progress: 8% | Estimated Completion Date: October 21, 2025
Note: Research planning has been brought in to occur in conjunction with design ideation. We are targeting to share our first round of design ideation in this upcoming sprint.
Application Health Monitoring | AT RISK | Progress: 45% | Estimated Completion Date: July 15, 2025
Potential Risk: Decommissioning Kibana/ElasticSearch (#3363) is currently blocked by the merging of #3463. Merging #3463 into production will unblock QASP review from occurring for #3363.
Potential Risk: Integrating Prometheus with Mimir (#3244) will be delayed further due to unexpected changes in staffing. We are planning to have our new team member pick this up once he is properly onboarded.
Streamlined and simplified the reparse logic by creating a shared utility function, improving maintainability and enabling more customizable parsing behavior for both the admin and management commands.
