In MPP-316, it was decided to have a new kind of grouping of recipients for web messages (in Feds portal), and the suggested solution (related to FF6-551) was to have a new entity representing such sets of recipients. Initially it was suggested to be called ‘department’ but that already exists in Feds, so words like ‘usergroup’, ‘team’, ‘department/team’, ‘topic’ were floated on a CR* meeting a week (or so) ago. To my knowledge, the dice fell in favor of ‘topic’ (lacking logic as much as anything else) so Nina wrote the solution that way. All of a sudden Karl wants it reverted to ‘department’ as per clinics’ desires (but then where was that word in the original specs, if any, I don’t see that anywhere), and the discussion in the case leaves an impression of “with all due respect, do as I say”, IOW a project manager acting as a boss.
