🧪IBM Expert Labs Enhancements

Development BacklogQueued ahead of its statusMediumorigin Business

What it is

Automates the lab-charge waiver process for IBM Expert Labs classes in CLASS: an Expert Labs identifier on the class, auto-set GTP flags, a send-with-preview waiver email to IBM, a date stamp when it's sent, an upload for IBM's reply, a zero reservation amount, and a report over all of it.

What's happening

Still in the development backlog, but all eight issues are already in the Development Queue and assigned to Pradeep, so the work is lined up ahead of the project's status. The planning item is to scope the automation with Alice before any of it starts.
