Problem
Heritage Arboretum Development Project
As of the writing of this textbook, The Heritage Center Arboretum has been through five releases and is planning its sixth. The rapid development that has characterized the arboretum to this point is evolving into more gradual continued development and more ongoing governance and maintenance. While the team will still plan more development, considerably more effort is being expended into creating a transition plan.
The Product Owner and the Development Team have decided it makes sense at this time to update the master plan. This will hopefully encourage all stakeholders to suggest what they feel are important considerations in ongoing development, governance, maintenance, and ongoing support.
The team is assessing the condition and measuring the size of all the designated representatives of each tree species. They are reporting those assessments and measurements along with a list of new species planted to Arbnet.org as part of the annual renewal of their arboretum status.
i. What should the team consider including in their transition plan?
ii. Besides Arbnet.org, who should the team report to and what should they report?
iii. How should the team capture lessons learned?
iv. Since the team is part of the Township Tree Committee, what would you suggest for their next project?
