The FOLIO Product Council approved the Technical Council Charter. A status report on the prioritization/gap analysis process was provided. The Epic stories are being entered into JIRA and when the process is finished the PC members will bring the prioritization process to their institutions. The team is working on a process to prioritize features and gaps for the Early Implementers. The Reporting SIG proposed to the PC to approve the development of a data warehouse and test data stored and reported out of the warehouse. The data warehouse will need developers and other resources so it was decided that this will be prioritized in the Epic process and resources will be assigned according to priorities. The Technical Council should review the Reporting SIG’s proposal.
OLE Summer 2019 Implementation Cohorts team will be having a gap analysis conducted after the Product Council has approved the process. This will most likely take place next Thursday, with the gap analysis commencing on June 18th.
The Consortia SIG is working on forming a single-tenant/shared subgroup to perform a gap analysis of current/planned FOLIO functionality. Multi-tenant consortia features have been migrated to JIRA. The SIG is holding off on addressing these until the PC determines Epic priorities and decides whether or not to assign a PO to the SIG. The SIG is also looking at distinctions between the two consortia models to help potential adopters choose the right model for their consortium.

The end goal is a data warehouse. A roadmap is needed for reporting development. The data warehouse needed by September 2018 in order to go love in July 2019.
