## Strategic Planning Council
## Wed 09 Mar 2005


Agenda:
Old Action Items
Offsite
Draft Roadmap Outline
Next Steps


Old Action Items:

Send notes on science sessions->a read back of what science has said
Outline plan (headley)
Reconvene Wed.

Will Marcia be at the offsite? Invited, depends on her schedule, maybe for one day

Notes:
Move SWOT to an appendix
Presentation format: this is an opportunity to keep people's attention, need to 

Things to talk about: ways of connecting to science

- engineers telling scientists what technology
- oceanography instruction
  - Is it more valuable to spend time on a project learning
  - Should everyone be equally literate?
- quality time short term projects  with scientist
- greatest impediments:
	- take too long
 	- too complex, expensive
	- solve the wrong problems
	- didn't gather correct requirements?
	- didn't
	- not getting feedback, not because we dont know science
	- takes time: successful project execution is more important?
	- how about building science background information into proposal or as part of requiremnts process	- we need to invest in our foundations--too focused on end product, not on process of defining and understanding the project
	- is this 
	- blow's our cover, attend something too simple
	- what about auditing MLML classes?

Other ideas:
- science / engr ping-pong meetings: science says what's important, engr, presents relevant technologies

- informal meetings were pretty good; takes more meetings to pick up the direction of science


- building cruise time into projects->incremental
- e.g. canyon dynamics, spectometry stuff, profilers


Action Items:
Everybody redline draft doc (turn on track changes)
Everybody Add to implementation plan
Prepare list of things to make presentation snazzy
- Evolution of ROVs
Meet again Fri at 1400 tentatively
