What we will do
The MX-Guidanceboard uses a common project database called “MX-ProjeXpace” to analyze all participating projects for potential areas that require alignment. We then create an expert group for each of these topics that analyzes the different options in detail and proposes a solution which ensures interoperability of all projects. All projects are then asked to implement this solution.
In order to achieve the stated goal, the M-X Guidance Board will …
- IDENTIFY: analyze the participating projects for overlap including risks of incompatibility and redundancy,
- PRIORITIZE: identify alignment potentials and sort them for expected impact to reach the stated goal,
- EVALUATE: structure and compare options for each alignment potential,
- DECIDE: draw up a joint way to move forward together across all alignment potentials,
- COMMUNICATE: create transparency about the degree of alignment of all M-X projects and all decisions taken by the M-X Guidance Board
- ADVOCATE: create transparency about the technology, administrative and organizational approaches how to become M-X compliant interoperable to a broad audience to inform potential upcoming projects.
- COOPERATE: with other standardization initiatives like Gaia-X, Catena-X, IDTA, ISO, IEC, … in order to reuse what is already established
HOW WE WORK
- We acknowledge the responsibility – failing to accomplish our goal means every participating project loses.
- We focus on solving industry challenges – our compass is creating business value, not proposing sophisticated technology.
- We don’t reinvent the wheel – wherever a functioning solution exists and creates value, it is always preferred to theoretical alternatives.
- We contribute to open source – our best way of aligning is to combine our efforts not just on paper, but on technology, use cases and products.
- We backup our words with action – requests for alignment should always be supported by contributing resources required to accomplish the work.
- We respect each other’s time – the M-X Guidance Board is relying on voluntary participation by each valued member.
