2024-09-07 Workday Leads Meeting

Daybreak

• Why do we want to fix daybreak

  •  

• What will the timeline look like

Are we satisfied with the amount of work we got done today?

• Having people in separate rooms make people leave

• The culture of stay 9-5

• How do we make people meet deadlines?

• Extending the workday

  • Won’t help the problem

• We need to have progress measured by tasks and not time

• Three things

  • Have workday progress checks

  • Have planned goals for each workday

  • Picking up lunch instead of going out for lunch

    • We will have catered lunch for the time being

• Need to give people tangible deadlines and checkpoints

• The morning of people should understand exactly what deliverable they will complete

• There’s no real way to actually make anyone do anything

  • We need to make people feel like the stuff they are doing is actually important to finishing the car

    • Need to have a public timeline in general

• We need more tangible seratonin checkpoints. People need immediate payoffs. Highlight dependencies and what will be unblocked

• You have to reach a common understanding with people about deadlines and meeting them. Make everyone understand the importance of the work they do

  • Stop giving them stuff to keep them busy

• We need more structure

• What are we going to do differently next workday

  • Morning intro:

    • Leads will get up in front of everyone and go over

      • What tasks they will be working on each workday

      • What deliverables they will have by end of workday

  • Have a predetermined milestone for each members

  • When someone leaves, have them check out with their lead, ask why they didn’t finish it

  • If they keep having unfinished tasks have a talk with them

  • Checking in

    • Making sure they’re not stuck

    • Helping them

  • Clearly defined tasks set aside in system meeting

• How do we involve members in parameterization

  • Requirements

    • We need to get them done as soon as possible

    • The reason for them is to have a list of things you need to complete

    • We also want members to have involvement in the design process

    • These are at odds

    • It isn’t necessary to involve members. The leads can decide if they want to do it themselves or not

• We need to break the rule of members not working during the week

• What is it that we don’t know sheet

• Have people have a specific question to answer with the research. Have a deliverable. Give them stakes.
