Project + Division Sync Meeting notes

Design

• A bit rocky to onboard designers

• A few dropped off

• Making some progress on each project

  • Trying to keep everyone in contact

• Biggest issue: skill and time required from each designer

  • It take a lot of time to really learn, and not many can

  • Projects aren’t moving as fast as they could be

  • Trends - issue where engineers need design to keep working on front end

• Hilary ran design workshops, people still dropped off

• Engagement level impacted by people being busy

• Does 1:1 with some designers, but not a lot of people are aware of this

Marketing

• Marketing just started

• Posting on social media

• physical tabling - want to do it again

  • not many people on campus, need to do it again at a better time

• Want to promote Planner primarily

• Trying to get more videos of team meetings

• Wanted to know analytics of who is using what product

API Team

• Semester going well

• Has been drop-off

  • 3-4 left, but to be expected (that’s why we recruited so heavily)

• High engagement at the meetings, lots of attendance

• Are getting a lot of work done, but the number of contributors is lower than the number of people at meetings

• Josh making his time and help available, people aren’t bringing up major issues or reaching out. People are likely busy

  • People are introverted

• In last 2 weeks even, lots of PR’s merged in

• People are contributing, so it’s okay if not everyone is contributing for the sake of velocity
