Spike: Complete AC-API stakeholder syncs & get next steps for tool team implementation

[sterkenburgsara]

Description

This ticket is a follow-on of #94098 where A/Cs were not fully completed by the close-of-sprint date 12/18/24. Context: we drafted thorough high-level documentation, have designs, and have nearly implemented the AC-API alerts on the My HealtheVet on Va.gov landing page. We set up a sync to socialize this work w/ affected health tool team POs, but none were able to make that meeting time save for Don McCaughey (VAHB mobile app).

This spike ticket intends to cover two remaining tasks: 1.) communicating this work to the remaining stakeholders & getting feedback, and 2.) Understanding how to get into PI planning schedules in January to get this work prioritized asap.

User story

As a Cartography team member, I want to communicate the importance and outstanding work necessary to implement the AC-API and help minimize the load on Veterans to get access to health tools that rely on the MHV-API backend.

Notes

• Account Creation API architecture mural here
• Alert designs
• Documentation of Account Creation API overview + decision options for POs

Possible tasks:

• Socialize this work with remaining POs who were not able to attend the scheduled sync on 12/16/24:
  • Kay Lawyer
  • Patrick Bateman
  • Marci McGuire
  • including Kaitlin Fink and Robyn Singleton as needed
• Get clarity from POs on clear next steps to get this work incorporated into roadmaps as part of PI planning in early January

Acceptance criteria

• Important information has been communicated with remaining stakeholders
• Stakeholders have had a chance to review the documentation, provide feedback, and share any relevant information about how to work with their PI planning processes to get this work prioritized in January 2025.
• We are prepared to move on to the next ticket: drafting the implementation strategy

Update: held stakeholder sync 2 on Thurs, Dec. 19 and Kay, Robyn, and Kaitlin attended. We have not directly discussed w/ Marci or Patrick, but the other OCTO leads let us know that the documentation would suffice and we can move forward with timelines for getting this work into PI planning. @wesrowe followed-up the meeting with a Slack thread that included a meeting recap and some clarification on next steps, which includes needing to get information about this work to teams by EOD today (12/20).

Should engage directly w/ PM/DMs for each of the 3 affected tool teams, provide an estimated LoE for the work to deliver all 3 alerts:

• Medications - Raquel Robertson and Tanner Bird
• Medical records & SM - Bryan Riley & Lichelle Bain

We're done with this one! closing
