|
2. COMPARE STORAGE OPTIONS | As a researcher | I want to be able to browse available storage options (such as price, capacity, scalability, whether the storage resides on Univ. of Helsinki servers or not etc.) and their features without logging in | so that I can learn about available options as easily as possible. |
|
| As a researcher with data | I want my data storage to support multiple different types of metadata for different datasets. | so that I can use a single storage for multiple types of research data. |
|
| As a researcher | I want my storage space to have version control | so that I am able to revert my work. |
|
| As a researcher | I want to decide if I should buy new storage space (new group, new users, new technical requirements) or should I just enhance one of my current spaces | so that I can optimize my data storages. |
|
| As a researcher | I would like to know about data security regarding different storage options prior to decision | so that I can make just decision (e.g. based on funder requirements) |
|
| As a researcher | I want my storage space to have fast connection | so that I can deliver my data across different calculation systems fast. |
|
| As a researcher with data storage needs,
| I want to be able to have, manage and easily access multiple user interfaces to my data (such as browser based graphical user interfaces for audio/video/table, machine-readable interfaces, a mountable path for operating system etc.) | so that I can access the data in a way that suits me best. |
|
| As a researcher | I want to use storage options that are compatible with different kinds of software | so that I can use and analyse my data easily. |
|
| As a researcher | I want to have a storage solution that includes graphical user interfaces for accessing my data | so that I can make conclusions faster. |
|
| As a researcher with data storage needs,
| I want to access my storage as soon as I’ve completed the purchase (instantly) | so that I can start using my storage right away. |
|
| As a researcher purchasing network storage
| I want to be able to set/limit access control to my network storage and its files | so that my colleagues can access the data/storage as quickly as possible and I can limit use of particular files (i.e. can prevent downloading video files while allowing streaming). |
|
3. BUY | As a researcher with data storage needs,
| I want to be able to pay for my storage in advance for a predetermined period | so that I can pay whenever I happen to have funding available. |
|
4. EXPERT SERVICE: | As a researcher with data storage needs | I want someone else to evaluate my data storage needs and choose the most suitable option for me | so that I can avoid wasting time on learning/comparing technical details. |
|
| As a researcher with data storage needs | I want to know who to contact for additional data storage related questions | so that my questions won’t go unanswered. |
|
| As a researcher, | I want to know whether there’s expertise available for my particular problem before contacting data support services
| so that I can avoid wasting my time / avoid embarrassment. |
|
| As a researcher / customer for data support services
| I want to be able to reach an expert without delays
| so that I can get my questions answered quickly. |

5. SERVICE PROVIDER | As a data storage service provider | I would like know what to do when data owner leaves University
| so that I can do my job properly. |
|
6. DATA MANAGEMENT PLANS (DMP) | As a grant applicant writing DMP demanded by funder | I want to find information about the research data management best practices appreciate by funders and funder requirements
| in order to get money. | 2 |
| As a research group | we want to get comprehensive checklist of topics in a good DMP | in order to write down and improve the data pipeline/process used in the research group. |
|
| As researcher | I want to write DMP together with colleagues
| in order to get comments easily from all members of the research group or collaborators. |
|
| As a researcher | I want to update existing DMPs when the data management process/methods has changed or are more clear,
| to keep DMP up to date to avoid conflicts and errors in data management of the research project. |
|
| As a new researchers in a research group | I want to find the DMP used by my research group in order to be able to follow right data management procedures. | in order to be able to follow right data management procedures. |
|
| As a researcher or student | I want to be able to send my DMP for reviewing
| in order to be sure that the DMP is OK. | 1 |
| As a student | I want to find information and a template needed to write a DMP
| to pass the course requiring a DMP. |
|
| As a DMP support staff member | I can easily review and comment DMPs | in order to help researchers to get money from funders and to spread RDM best practices. | 2 |
| As a DMP support staff member | I can maintain guidance related to DMPs in one place which is easy to find and access by researchers | to avoid wasting my time while writing guides nobody finds or reads |
