Introduction- The API Inception will serve as the foundation for all APIs (i.e) API profiles (eg: CaaS, ZTP..etc), Components and Frameworx.

Purpose - Is to bring all key stakeholders together, align on the goals and objectives of the project, and lay out a plan for moving forward.

Action - Attendees may discuss the project scope, timeline, risks, and any other critical information that is needed to ensure the project is executed successfully. It is also an opportunity to clarify roles and responsibilities, establish a clear line of communication, and ensure that everyone is on the same page.

Outcome - Is typically a shared understanding of the project and a plan for moving forward. 

API Tooling 

Introduction - The API Tooling meeting is a meeting held to discuss and make decisions about the tools and technology used to develop, manage, and publish APIs.

Purpose - Is to ensure that the right tools and technology are in place to support the development and management of APIs, and that they are used in an efficient and effective manner.

Action - Attendees may discuss topics such as API development frameworks, API management platforms, API documentation tools, and testing and debugging tools. The meeting may also involve the evaluation and selection of new tools and technology, as well as the discussion of any issues or limitations with existing tools.

Outcome of an API Tooling meeting is typically a set of agreed-upon tools and technology that will be used for API development, management, and publication. The meeting is an important step in ensuring that the right tools and technology are in place to support the API development process, and it helps to ensure that APIs are developed and managed in an efficient and effective manner.

Introduction- The API Governance meeting is a meeting held to discuss and make decisions about the governance of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) within the project.

Purpose - Is to ensure that APIs are aligned with the member's goals, standards, and best practices, and that they are designed, developed, and managed in a consistent and effective manner.

Action - Attendees may discuss such as API design standards, API lifecycle management, API security, API documentation, and API usage policies. The meeting may also involve review and approval of new API designs, updates to existing APIs, and the resolution of any API-related issues.

Outcome - Is typically a set of agreed-upon policies and guidelines for the development, deployment, and management of APIs within the program. 

Introduction- The API Team Meeting is a meeting held among the members of the API development team.

Purpose - Is to review the progress of ongoing API projects, discuss any challenges or roadblocks, and coordinate the work of the team.

Action -  Attendees may discuss topics such as the status of ongoing API projects, updates on new features and functionality, technical challenges, and resource allocation. The meeting may also involve the review of code and design documents, as well as the discussion of testing and quality assurance processes.

Outcome - Is typically a shared understanding of the progress and status of API projects, as well as a plan for moving forward. The meeting is an important step in ensuring that the API development team is aligned and working effectively towards common goals, and it helps to keep the team on track and focused on delivering high-quality APIs.

Introduction- The API Architecture, Usage Patterns, and Design Guidelines meeting is a meeting held to discuss and make decisions about the design and development of APIs.

Purpose - Is to ensure that APIs are designed and developed in a way that meets the needs of the stakeholders, is scalable, and supports efficient and effective usage.

Action - Attendees may discuss topics such as API design patterns, RESTful API design principles, API data models, and API performance and scalability. The meeting may also involve the review of existing API designs and the development of new design guidelines.

Outcome - Is typically a set of agreed-upon API architecture, usage patterns, and design guidelines that will be used to guide the development of APIs within the organization. The meeting is an important step in ensuring that APIs are designed and developed in a consistent and effective manner that supports the needs of the stakeholders and is scalable.

Introduction- The API Specification Development meeting is a meeting held to discuss and develop the specifications for a new or existing APIs.

Purpose - Is to ensure that the API meets the needs of the stakeholders and is designed in a way that supports its intended use.

Action - Attendees may discuss topics such as the API's functional requirements, data models, security and authentication mechanisms, error handling, and performance requirements. The meeting may also involve the review of existing API designs and the discussion of any potential changes or modifications.

Outcome - Is typically a detailed API specifications that outlines the functional and technical requirements of the API. This serves as a blueprint for the API development team and is used to guide the development and testing of the API.
This meeting is an important step in the API development process and helps to ensure that the API is developed in a way that supports its intended use and meets the needs of the users.
