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 after an initial documentation survey (https://sitcomtn-012.lsst.io/) and further analysis and discussion. As a final deliverable for the charge described in LSE-489.lsst.io, this proposal includes requirements, strategy, methodology and organization for the technical documentation package needed to establish construction completeness and operational readiness from the Construction Project and a method of sustained maintenance throughout Operations. The presented implementation plan for transitioning includes an estimated level of effort, resources, scheduling and risks if not implemented.
