Introduction (Clint)
- New Meeting format organization Goals:
- Help everyone keep abreast of the projects we're working on
- Help each of us to see places where the projects overlap and we can share code/know how
- See if it helps us be more effective across the team.
- New Meeting format details:
- We'll go project by project
- Feel free to bring up issues blocking the project or potential areas to work together
- Feel free to ask questions
- Feel free to add updates to the projects below, I've started out with some of the status from the current 1:1's that I had yesterday and today.
- New Meeting format lingo:
- It comes from a story about time management. The story goes that a professor brought a bucket to class and asked his students how many rocks it would take to fill it up. They guessed, and he put about 10 large rocks in it until the bucket was pretty full. He asked if it was full. They said yes. Then he poured gravel into the bucket. He asked if it was full now, and the students were kind of stumped. When scheduling things, it's often useful to schedule the big "Must-be-done" projects first, and then fill in the others around them. So the boulders are our projects that are high-profile, committed goals, and the gravel are the other projects we have that while no less important are smaller things that we scheduled around the larger ones.
- Pulverized? Why that's for the stuff that's done. :)
