Project Director Meeting 3-24-14
2 PM ET / 1 PM CT, March 24, 2014
Attendees
Notetaker: TBD
Agenda & Notes
- Staff transitions upcoming
- Review Expectations for Tech lead and QA Lead (15 minutes)
- Reconfirming the roles of tech lead and QA lead - they are advanced team members available to the team with specific expertise; working with the POs on any planning and priority-setting. Don't need to set out a specific process for POs and tech lead to communicate with each other, just be clear that it should happen.
- Claire and Rick will revise the scrum master, tech lead and QA lead descriptions on the wiki and run them by the PDs
- Review focus for July release (similar to high level focus paragraph Julie requested for the April release) (20 minutes)
- attached again is the agreed upon statement for April and the draft up for discussion for July: https://docs.google.com/a/nd.edu/document/d/1Zl9_vpN5BqGcdBGwn5vM6vskgXmO7DY_uNVgFOBhyDQ/edit
- (notes from 3/24/2014 PD discussion and thoughts about the draft are captured in the Google doc linked above)
- Review process for on boarding new developers (partner institution contributor vs. non-partner contributor) (5 minutes)
- Confirmed we would like to have new team members from partner institutions have some conversation with lead PO (re: process) and tech lead (re: code familiarity, how to come up to speed) as they join the project. This should be more lightweight than the onboarding for non-partner team members. Claire will revise wiki pages that address this.
The items below will be rolled over to the next PD meeting
- Review work and resource commitment patterns (i.e. 25% resource on 1 sprint vs. 100% on 1 out of 4 sprints) (10 minutes)
- Suggest dates for face to face project meeting (5 minutes)
