OpenLMIS Gap Planning/Estimation Meeting - Washington DC, April 11-13, 2018

Goals

To estimate the work and begin assigning work at a high level.

We will go deeper into the specific work areas than we did during our December 7, 2017 meeting in DC. We will have attendees from each organization so we can conduct estimation activities and so we can assign initial work items to different teams.
