TODO: | |||
* get a better videoconferencing system for MV | |||

** +1000 | |||
decisions require information | |||
would clearer definitions of projects help? clearer tracking? | |||
what if we write a better set of documentation before starting the project? either wiki/blog | |||
phase 1 (prototype) hard to estimate, since it's largely experimentation | |||
* nightly - smaller prototypes | |||
phase 2 (release) easier to estimate, since we have a good idea of what's to be done | |||
- more detailed plans & time estimates | |||
* aurora | |||
phase 3 | |||
* beta | |||
(related to above) Use more ideas from SCRUM (e.g. sprints) ? : | |||

a-team has history of taking projects and being able to deliver, and now the number of projects coming in is growing. How to manage this? How to determine which project should take priority over another? | |||
We have older projects that don't have owners, or have a suffient set of features implemented. Need to assign owners or pass the projects off to the right group. | |||
Sometimes priorities in the company change and projects which were previously high priority are no longer so important (e.g. firebug automation). Should we be more explicit when this happens and we stop working (as much) on certain projects? | |||
we should all be inserted into elastic search! | |||
Customer management: feedback from customers | |||
* customer might be us! | |||
what are other teams doing to track multiple different-sized projects? | |||

These are the goals I pulled out of the "Thinking Caps" thread, plus some that I know about. The details are not necessarily complete, but listing them all helps illuminate the big picture of where we're heading. | These are the goals I pulled out of the "Thinking Caps" thread, plus some that I know about.
