Software

Software

• Ka/Zpectrometer Project ongoing since (6/2004) 8/2005.
• No 'Scope' or 'Charter', predates that PM method.

Proposal:

• Consider Ka/Zpectrometer project closed.
  • Any minor problems fall under Ongoing Operations.
  • Any major changes are a New Project.
• Data Reduction and Display a new project with new PM/PE/PS.
