Abstract

The Sardinia Radio Telescope is a 64-metre radio telescope operated by the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF). It is a general purpose instrument with frequency agility and wide frequency coverage. Operations can be represented as a continuous ow of actions that must be taken in charge by the team, with the goal to minimize the downtime an maximize the scientific outcome of the facility. Also, operating partly in guest mode, the overall satisfaction of the observers is a goal to be achieved. Following the Agile principles derived from software development, we intend to implement a Kanban approach. Hence, we will identify internal sectors as a series of manifolds of client-producer chain, and monitor the workflow with kanban-like tickets. An electronic version of Kanban will enable coordinators to have an at-a-glance view of the critical points.
