User stories (Jonathan & Ward facilitating)¶

• As an admin, if I change my DB structure, I want Arvados to help me update the config
• As an admin, I want to see the mapping of another dataset to my own
• When I run a job, I want to be able to work as Draft or Final/Real results
• As a consumer of genomic data, I want to visualize my data
• As a commercial leader of a clinical lab, I want to be able to trace quote to cash for diagnostic tests
• I want to be able to know where any file is.
• As a patient or participant, I want to be able to export my data to another study.
• As someone who works with data, I want the genotypic and phenotypic data I use to conform to a standard ontology.
• As a clinician, I want to quantify the uncertainty of the data & analysis underlying my report, so that I and the patient understand the clinical decision more fully.
• As a clinician, I want to run the same experiment on multiple data sets.
• As a lab director and oncologist, I want exome raw reads to called variants to take 15 minutes.
• As a data miner, I want to be able to query all public data without downloading it.
• As a researcher, I want to be able to set up a standard pipeline for a particular type of data set.
• As an informatician, I want all my data to conform to a standard format so that I can analyze across multiple data sets.
• As a clinician, I want to collect & track inbound case data, such as referral letters, ICD-9 diagnosis codes, case summaries, consents, medical reports, and insurance pre-verifications.
• As an informatician, I want to be able to track & manage ICD-9/10 data.
• As a lab director or clinician, I want to share a report with another clinician at another institution.
• As a clinician, if I discover a mutation, I want to share that with an analytical tool or aggregator of data (e.g. GeneInsight).
• As a user, I want to associate ‘keepalive’ metadata to my intermediate data
• As Arvados, I record profiling information that data expiration for intermediate data can be based on
• As an informatician, I can easily manipulate VCF files in parallel (as easy as GNV parallel)
• As a compliance officer, I have structured insight into the consents for my data
• As a researcher, I want to be able to collaborate on big datasets without having to copy them.
• As an informatician, I want to associate metadata with (a section of) my pipelines.
• As a new user, I can browse pipelines for metadata, see how ‘popular’ datasets and pipelines are [‘social features’]

User stories (Tom facilitating)¶

• As a prospective user I can test the current level of functionality in Arvados.
• As a prospective user I can learn about Keep's functionality and what type of role it can support in my organization.
• As a newcomer I can see a high-level functional description of the Arvados components and how they fit together.
• As an admin I can migrate an existing storage system to Keep.
• As an informatician (who has never used MapReduce) I can learn how to apply the MapReduce principle to my work.
• As an informatician I can explore instructive examples of how to use MapReduce.
• As an administrator I can implement a permission system suitable for my organization.
• As an administrator I can enable audit tracking and view an audit trail for data/objects in the system (which users/jobs have read/written them).
• As an administrator I can ensure that important users' jobs can not be unduly delayed by a less-important user who routinely submits lots of jobs.
• As an administrator I can monitor the activity level of the system.
• As an administrator I can monitor the status of the hardware and software components in the system.
• As a user or administrator I can pause/checkpoint a job and resume it later.
• As an administrator or developer I can start up a single-node Arvados system for testing and evaluation purposes.
• As an informatician I can understand how to use a database as input to a job, and how reproducibility features work in this case.
