## Proposed Product Development Decision Brief to the SPSRB 

- Instructions / Guidance
- This template will be used by NESDIS personnel to present future product or service development proposals to the SPSRB in response to a validated SPSRB User Request.
- Product or Service Development Decision Briefings are due to the SPSRB Executive Secretary (Eileen Maturi) and Deputy Exec Secretary (Thomas Smith) by close of business on the 2nd   Monday of every month.  The presentation will be at the SPSRB which meets on the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
- The template is a guide and may require tailoring.  However, adherence to the briefing outline is recommended because it ensures the SPSRB is presented the information needed to make decisions.
- Guidance is contained in the notes page.  You can access the notes page by selecting “View” and “Notes Page” from the main menu.
- The SPSRB Triage Board may request a product / service brief be presented to the SPSRB.  Follow the Triage Board guidance and if you have any questions, ask your division chief.
- Delete this slide before you send your briefing to the SPSRB secretaries

**Notes:**
Briefly summarize our current capabilities related to this product request against the requested capabilities

## SHORTFALLS

- Timeliness
- Accuracy of Product
- Others

**Notes:**
Summarize known shortfalls (e.g., timeliness and/or accuracy of products, etc.)  

## Technology Improvement Plan

**Notes:**
Briefly describe product improvements that you anticipate in the next few years that will be related to this product request (e.g., identify any product development efforts from non-NOAA satellites, Metop, NPP, etc. that would ultimately address the user needs).

 If appropriate, describe information technology improvements related to this project.  For example, if OSDPD has plans to update the IT capabilities for the product processing system related to this project, you need to describe this future capability.

## Option Analysis

- Key assumptions
- Summary of options

**Notes:**
Here you may want to describe key assumptions you made during your analysis of solutions. You may want to describe how you handled cost estimates for options  How did you handle hardware and software costs, etc.?  You may want to describe your technology transition plan here (I.e., how you will handle the transition from research to operations).  If you make a science assumption, please describe it.

Simply list all options you will cover of the following slides under the “Summary of Options”

## Option #, “title”

- Concept of operations overview
- Capability
- Benefit to the user community

**Notes:**
Make additional copies of this slide for each option to be presented to the SPSRB 

Concept of operations overview:  describe what would be done under this option.  Using extra slides to describe options in okay, but don’t use too many.  Cartoons depicting NESDIS IT architecture and how we’ll communicate the product to the end user would be helpful.  Describe how archive of data will be handled.  Describe maintenance concept (e.g., 24/7, 8/5, etc.)

 Capability:  What capability will be get under this option.

Benefit to the user community.  Provide a short summary on how the user community benefits from this option.

##                SPSRB Decision

**Notes:**
IPT should not fill out this slide.  It’s a place holder for the SPSRB decision.  SPSRB chairs should consider the following in their decision:

Rework proposal?
Provide guidance to seek funding?
Do we need upper management approval (e.g., NEB)?
Do we need to provide guidance on how far to develop this capability (e.g., stop at pre-op)?
