» Example use cases (3 of many)
› As an RDM manager, I want to know the number of DMPs
created against funding council grants (or beyond) so that
support can be provided at point of need.
› As an IT manager, I want to know the trend of dataset
generation and disk space usage so that I can incorporate
additional storage purchase in next year’s plan.
› As a PVC(Research), I want to have an overview of my
institution’s response to the funders expectations so that we can
achieve compliance.
