The series brings together staff members of DOE laboratories and invited guests to speak about experiences in working remotely and transitioning from co-located and partially distributed teams to fully virtual teams, and teams of teams. Topics include challenges, lessons learned, unforeseen benefits, and opportunities to look for from this experience. Panelists will make brief introductory comments followed by open discussion. Participation is free and open to the public. Registration is required for each event. The sessions are independent, so join any and all. Format: The panelists make short statements or presentations related to the panel topic, and then the moderator opens the floor to discussion and questions from the audience. Recordings of the panels along with presentation slides and resources are posted on the IDEAS<https://ideas-productivity.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5438ff2caf2456f6ec49ebfbf&id=319625e1d1&e=4349b54df2> and ECP<https://ideas-productivity.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5438ff2caf2456f6ec49ebfbf&id=a9516958d1&e=4349b54df2> web sites. The next panel in the series is: Making the Transition to Virtual Software Teams 3:00-4:30 pm ET Thursday May 21, 2020 Panelists: * Jay Jay Billings (ORNL) * Mark Gates (University of Tennessee) * Mahantesh Halappanavar (PPNL) * Angela Herring (LANL) * Alex Huebl (LBNL) Moderators: * Ashley Barker (ORNL) * Elaine Raybourn (SNL) Abstract: Scientific software teams are now working remotely and collaborating virtually in response to COVID-19 social distancing practices. In many cases, teams were co-located, and their transition unplanned. As working remotely has suddenly become a near-universal experience for staff members of research organizations, many software teams are now functioning as completely virtual teams—geographically dispersed and interacting only through electronic communication rather than in person. In the third installment of this IDEAS-ECP panel discussion series, we bring together several staff members of DOE laboratories, who will speak about experiences in recent transitions from co-located and partially distributed software teams to fully virtual software teams. Topics include challenges, lessons learned, unforeseen benefits, and opportunities to look for from this experience. Panelists will make brief introductory comments followed by open discussion. Discussion protocol: Attendees are asked to type in their name and brief question in the chat accompanying the panel discussion. We will call on people to ask their question verbally in the order received, curating for uniqueness. Participation is free. Registration is required.
