Decision Brief on Declaring Operational Instructions for Satellite Products
This decision brief template is used by NESDIS personnel to recommend new satellite products for operational declaration. It includes guidelines for presenting to the SPSRB and outlines the process for declaring products operational. The template also addresses scenarios where capabilities may not proceed to full operational status.

SPSRB Decision Brief on Declaring a Product Operational Instructions / Guidance This template will be used by NESDIS personnel to recommend to the SPSRB that a new satellite product be declared operational. A decision briefing should be given to the SPSRB 1 to 45 days prior to declaring a product/service operational. Slides are due on the last Friday of the month. The presentation will be at the SPSRB which meets on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. Send briefing to Priyanka.Roy@noaa.gov and cc: David.R.Donahue@noaa.gov and Eileen.Maturi@noaa.gov Occasionally, NOAA will stop a capability at a pre-operational phase. For example, a product from a research satellite may not go all the way to a full 24/7 operational phase. In such cases, this template will also be used to declare a new product is ready to be declared fully pre- operational (i.e., we have reached our end-state for this capability). Every new product that is ready for transition into operations will be briefed to the SPSRB. Routine modifications to an existing product that is handled through the NESDIS OSPO change management process does not have to be briefed to the SPSRB, unless directed by OSPO management or requested by the SPSRB. Updates or enhancements to existing satellite products do not have to be briefed to the SPSRB. The decision to declare these products as operational will be made by OSPO s SPSD Division Chief or his Representative. 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. Delete this slide before you send your brief to the SPSRB secretaries 1 V12 April 15, 2016

Guidance Insert a few slides that clearly show the following Quality of the product Technical performance Strengths and weaknesses Peer reviews conducted Recommend appropriate Oversight Panel review performance prior to SPSRB briefing For new NPP products include a short quality assessment from the STAR cal/val lead. If you do not know the STAR person, contact Laurie Rokke User readiness and acceptance of product Has user received test products and validated their usefulness for your operations? Are you ready to begin integration activities in the next 45 days? If not, when? Has user received training on how to use the product?
