SPSRB Decision Brief on Declaring a Product OperationalInstructions / 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 [email protected] and info copy [email protected] and [email protected]
• 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

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─ Is user ready to use product? If user not using product operationally, please explain
when this will happen─ Has user received training on how to use the product?
Delete this guidance slide when submitting your briefing
