Team Planning

  • reduce overlap of earlier tasks with eventual later plans that render it redundant

  • balance between long term plans and short-term progress

  • In beginning, while team works on small tickets, directors

  • 1:1s to figure out interests, what they would like to work on, issues

Team & Leadership principles

  • Team input and impact

  • Be firm with responsibilities and accountability, while being flexible

  • Epics/goals/targets, members set estimates how long to complete

  • At all times, members should have some direction, not confused about what to do
