Product Management Activities within NESDIS

The Product Management Division (PMD) within the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) Office of Common Services provides end to end responsibilities for managing environmental products and data. PMD provides the governance and manages the funding, development, transition to operations, maintenance, quality assurance, and enhancement activities. Part of the PMD role is to support the evolution of the NESDIS product processes and the migration to the NESDIS Cloud Cloud Framework (NCCF). PMD is leading the following evolution activities: shifting to a product portfolio investment approach for NESDIS; updating the NESDIS lifecycle processes to adapt agile and DevOps; onboarding of NESDIS development teams into the NCCF; transition to operations of algorithms, applications, and services into NCCF operations using continuous integration and continuous delivery; and developing strategies and services to support artificial intelligence ready data within the NCCF. This presentation will give a high level overview of each of these topics while referencing other presentations that will go into details about these evolutionary activities.
