Project-wide Documentation Proposal for Rubin Observatory Operations

Abstract

This technical note is a report to recommend a future state for Rubin Observatory Operations documentation by the Project-wide Documentation Working Group, as a final deliverable for the charge described in LSE-489.lsst.io. This proposal presents a high-level documentation strategy for Rubin Observatory Operations with suggested methodologies to transition Construction Project documents and organizations for the technical documentation package needed to establish construction completeness and operational readiness. The presented implementation plan for transitioning includes an estimated level of effort, resources, scheduling and risks if not implemented, as well as a method of sustained maintenance throughout Operations.
