1 00:00:35.710 ⇒ 00:00:36.900 Rico Rejoso: paper knob.
2 00:00:38.030 ⇒ 00:00:38.929 Pranav Narahari: Here we go.
3 00:00:40.430 ⇒ 00:00:41.089 Rico Rejoso: How are you?
4 00:00:41.850 ⇒ 00:00:43.609 Pranav Narahari: Good, good, how are you? How’s your morning?
5 00:00:44.470 ⇒ 00:00:45.299 Rico Rejoso: Good and good.
6 00:00:45.580 ⇒ 00:00:50.730 Rico Rejoso: Let’s jump into it. I don’t want to take too much of a dive, to be honest.
7 00:00:51.230 ⇒ 00:00:52.420 Rico Rejoso: Yay.
8 00:00:52.920 ⇒ 00:00:56.570 Rico Rejoso: Okay, so your question in regards to operating, right?
9 00:00:57.520 ⇒ 00:00:58.090 Pranav Narahari: Yup.
10 00:00:58.420 ⇒ 00:00:59.090 Rico Rejoso: Okay.
11 00:01:01.180 ⇒ 00:01:09.939 Rico Rejoso: Alright, so, What was the, what client are you working on right now, or not?
12 00:01:09.940 ⇒ 00:01:11.230 Pranav Narahari: I’m on Lilo.
13 00:01:11.630 ⇒ 00:01:12.880 Rico Rejoso: Gotcha.
14 00:01:13.520 ⇒ 00:01:17.010 Rico Rejoso: So let’s say we have a few archives here…
15 00:01:20.250 ⇒ 00:01:21.149 Rico Rejoso: That’s fully here.
16 00:01:22.120 ⇒ 00:01:33.170 Rico Rejoso: So, it’s just basically adding hours, or you adding those hours, or allocating hours for your team members. So, who are the team members that you have for Lilo, aside from you guys?
17 00:01:33.170 ⇒ 00:01:34.000 Pranav Narahari: conscious.
18 00:01:34.490 ⇒ 00:01:43.960 Pranav Narahari: So, in terms of the ones developing, or just everybody, including, like, CSO? Because Utam is on that as well, but he’s not doing any, like, development.
19 00:01:44.570 ⇒ 00:01:56.560 Rico Rejoso: If he’s not working, or let’s say, spending any hours working for Lilo, it’s fine, we don’t need to add Utah on it. But he’s basically the CSO, so he’s jumping onto meetings with the client, right?
20 00:01:57.200 ⇒ 00:02:02.019 Pranav Narahari: Yep, definitely. So yeah, I guess, since he’s CSO, he’s still putting in some hours.
21 00:02:02.350 ⇒ 00:02:03.990 Rico Rejoso: Okay, gotcha, so we care.
22 00:02:04.470 ⇒ 00:02:10.919 Rico Rejoso: So, like, for adding hours for Lilo, you just have to choose the person. I don’t think we have the position for the CSO yet.
23 00:02:11.520 ⇒ 00:02:26.470 Rico Rejoso: Okay. Okay, let me add that to the directory, but we can just choose from, let’s say, and add any hours that he, he’s spending working for this client every week. So let’s say if he’s attending any,
24 00:02:26.590 ⇒ 00:02:29.810 Rico Rejoso: Meeting with them to present any updates or…
25 00:02:30.110 ⇒ 00:02:34.110 Rico Rejoso: project of this, so let’s say he’s maybe working around 2 hours.
26 00:02:34.270 ⇒ 00:02:34.940 Rico Rejoso: a week.
27 00:02:35.100 ⇒ 00:02:48.170 Rico Rejoso: You can set it up there. It also shows them how many hours they have in total per week that we can allocate. So, let’s say for Utam, he has basically around 40 hours to spend every week. That’s 2 out of the 40 hours that
28 00:02:48.240 ⇒ 00:03:07.699 Rico Rejoso: he has per week that is allocated for Lilo Social. So you could start to add those team members. So basically, when we do planning before, we usually do it as a group, like, we go through from one client to another, making sure that we max out all, the hours, that a team member has.
29 00:03:08.100 ⇒ 00:03:08.550 Pranav Narahari: That’s it.
30 00:03:08.550 ⇒ 00:03:18.290 Rico Rejoso: And, you know, make sure that they are spread evenly, or into each client, maximizing the 40 hours, 20 hours that they’re working or spending with Rain Forge.
31 00:03:18.410 ⇒ 00:03:19.160 Rico Rejoso: Right.
32 00:03:20.080 ⇒ 00:03:32.730 Rico Rejoso: I think as an EP, that’s one thing that you guys are doing, assigning or allocating how many hours a team member is spending for this project. So, other, planners, or let’s say service lead.
33 00:03:32.730 ⇒ 00:03:45.080 Rico Rejoso: we’ll be able to look at, like, this person has spent around 48 hours working on client stuff, or let’s say 38 hours working on client stuff, and he is almost maxed out, and I think one thumb of rule that we have is
34 00:03:45.240 ⇒ 00:03:53.279 Rico Rejoso: Each should be spending around 90% of their time working for… 90% of their time should be allocated
35 00:03:53.290 ⇒ 00:04:07.269 Rico Rejoso: Here in operating. So let’s say, like, 2 or an hour not allocated, it would be fine. If you’re around 38 out of your 40 hours each week, that’s fine. But mainly for you as an engage… as an engagement planner, if you’re assigning hours, you just…
36 00:04:07.270 ⇒ 00:04:20.369 Rico Rejoso: have to add them, and just make sure, because it correlates with linear, right? So let’s say for… if you’re in Lilo, and you are assigned 8 hours, it should also reflect in linear on your task.
37 00:04:20.430 ⇒ 00:04:32.859 Rico Rejoso: there under the project that you’re working for, Lilo, it should also, you should have an estimate of, let’s say, 8 hours per week, if you’re assigned 8 hours, so allocated 8 hours in operating, right?
38 00:04:32.860 ⇒ 00:04:35.140 Pranav Narahari: Gotcha. That makes sense.
39 00:04:35.420 ⇒ 00:04:42.629 Pranav Narahari: Okay, so… where can I, like, see how many hours are available, like, per week?
40 00:04:42.940 ⇒ 00:04:54.290 Pranav Narahari: Or actually, how do we, like, think about that? Like, I see that there’s a budget of, you know, $30K, that it says up there, and then next to that it says 3.3…
41 00:04:54.450 ⇒ 00:04:58.130 Pranav Narahari: I think that’s… WD is, like, maybe weeks?
42 00:04:58.250 ⇒ 00:05:04.169 Pranav Narahari: Or workdays, maybe? I’m not exactly sure, but
43 00:05:05.270 ⇒ 00:05:12.629 Pranav Narahari: how, like, so, how I’m thinking about this is, like, yeah, partially what you’re saying, which is, like, in linear, we have a…
44 00:05:12.780 ⇒ 00:05:28.729 Pranav Narahari: certain amount of time that we have allocated per task, but usually that’s, like, a range. And so, some weeks we also may just have to, like, push faster because we’ve set a deadline. Some weeks we may have a little bit more time to, like.
45 00:05:28.780 ⇒ 00:05:36.199 Pranav Narahari: hit… hit a milestone. So, kind of what I’m, like, Wondering is, like…
46 00:05:36.430 ⇒ 00:05:43.470 Pranav Narahari: you know, for me, I guess I’m on two clients, I’m on Lilo and, ABC.
47 00:05:43.590 ⇒ 00:05:53.490 Pranav Narahari: Sam, I think, is on 2 or 3 clients. Utam is probably on more than that. Casey is also on 2 clients, so…
48 00:05:53.710 ⇒ 00:06:00.339 Pranav Narahari: how I’m thinking… how… how I would like to start my week is, since I’m the…
49 00:06:01.190 ⇒ 00:06:12.140 Pranav Narahari: I’m, like, like, I’m, like, managing, like, the… the linear and, like, assigning tasks and whatnot. I just like to know, like, everybody’s,
50 00:06:12.340 ⇒ 00:06:22.879 Pranav Narahari: their bandwidth for the week. So if it’s, like, I know that Casey can do 20 hours this week, then I can make sure to, like, allocate the right tasks to him.
51 00:06:23.570 ⇒ 00:06:30.689 Pranav Narahari: like, things of that nature. So, like, does that kind… does that question kind of make sense? Like, how I can use… how I can use operating in that way?
52 00:06:31.050 ⇒ 00:06:47.119 Rico Rejoso: Yeah, let’s say, for example, you have Cassie, right? Casey working for this project, where is he? Or let’s say you have Mustafa working on this project, and he has a total of 40 hours. Right now, there’s no any, we don’t have any, projects or assigned to Mustafa, so that 40 hours is still…
53 00:06:47.710 ⇒ 00:07:05.499 Rico Rejoso: you know, fixed, unless you assign him to work for a project, let’s say for Lilo, you assign him a few hours, so that means throughout the 40 hours that he has is going for Lilo. So right now, most of the, EP’s services haven’t
54 00:07:05.890 ⇒ 00:07:13.839 Rico Rejoso: allocated those hours yet, so everyone is pretty much here as for now, but I think we need to, you know, wrap this up and
55 00:07:14.020 ⇒ 00:07:32.010 Rico Rejoso: Let’s have everyone added first, so we can see the capacity of, you know, our team members, if they still have any, or if we should start resourcing for that position, because that will also help us determine if we need to hire someone for that position, since we’re lacking our resources.
56 00:07:33.800 ⇒ 00:07:39.340 Pranav Narahari: Okay, sounds good. In terms of, like.
57 00:07:39.940 ⇒ 00:07:46.620 Pranav Narahari: reading what the specifics of the deal is. So, like, I see on the top it says,
58 00:07:46.900 ⇒ 00:07:50.949 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, that 3.3, how… what does that WD stand for?
59 00:07:53.750 ⇒ 00:07:58.349 Rico Rejoso: Honestly, I’m not sure. I just put in the budget on what we had in the timeline.
60 00:08:00.930 ⇒ 00:08:06.769 Pranav Narahari: Gotcha. So, like… One thing that may not always align is…
61 00:08:06.830 ⇒ 00:08:22.949 Pranav Narahari: the amount of hours that we have available, but also the amount of hours that the client is willing to pay for. So let’s say, like, we have 60 hours available across me, Sam, and Casey for… for Lilo, but…
62 00:08:23.350 ⇒ 00:08:24.140 Pranav Narahari: if…
63 00:08:24.270 ⇒ 00:08:42.059 Pranav Narahari: like, throughout the month, we only have, like, let’s say 180 hours, then divide that by 4, that’s 45 hours per week. So then I can’t assign 60 hours of work per week, because that’ll go over budget. How am I able to kind of, like.
64 00:08:42.559 ⇒ 00:08:46.130 Pranav Narahari: make sure of that, like, I’m not going over budget in,
65 00:08:47.580 ⇒ 00:08:50.389 Pranav Narahari: Like, with the hours that I’m assigning per week.
66 00:08:51.810 ⇒ 00:09:02.909 Rico Rejoso: Yeah, I think one thing would also be, like… I mean, we have a separate documents file on that, but that’s internally right now, and I don’t believe we can share it to everyone, but yeah.
67 00:09:02.910 ⇒ 00:09:03.290 Pranav Narahari: I think.
68 00:09:03.290 ⇒ 00:09:17.740 Rico Rejoso: we should create one. That’s like a spreadsheet or calculator that we have on how many hours should we be spending for a client for a certain amount that we have. Like, for example, for Lilo, we have, like, 10,000 a month, right?
69 00:09:17.740 ⇒ 00:09:18.090 Pranav Narahari: Yeah.
70 00:09:18.090 ⇒ 00:09:37.440 Rico Rejoso: the whole contract of 3 months, we’re gonna be, like, invoicing worth 10,000, we should be spending around 50 hours each month before targeting a 200 profit or margin for that client. 50 hours, if it’s 150,000, that should be, like, around 6 to 7 hours for the whole month.
71 00:09:37.440 ⇒ 00:09:38.340 Pranav Narahari: Gotcha.
72 00:09:40.130 ⇒ 00:09:44.860 Pranav Narahari: Okay, that makes sense. I think… so I think part of this is, like…
73 00:09:45.370 ⇒ 00:09:58.160 Pranav Narahari: what would be best for, the EPs. And I think we don’t… yeah, like, there’s probably, like, a lot of internal documents where we could, like, sift through to, like, figure out that information, but maybe we don’t want to just, like.
74 00:09:58.300 ⇒ 00:10:01.829 Pranav Narahari: make those available to the entire company.
75 00:10:02.000 ⇒ 00:10:07.990 Pranav Narahari: what I’ve seen work in the past is just, like, in the beginning of the week, we…
76 00:10:08.270 ⇒ 00:10:19.500 Pranav Narahari: just, like, I think what we could do is just, like, send a Slack message, and this could be a, like, this is actually really good for automation, like, maybe you probably have, like, some internal spreadsheet that shows, like.
77 00:10:19.620 ⇒ 00:10:24.890 Pranav Narahari: The amount of client hours that we can spend per week.
78 00:10:26.270 ⇒ 00:10:39.850 Pranav Narahari: And then if you can just send that to the EP every single, like, Monday, that would be great, because that’s when we’re kind of, like, figuring out, like, what we want to assign. That’s, like, we’re trying to figure out what,
79 00:10:40.350 ⇒ 00:10:46.660 Pranav Narahari: amount of tickets we want to assign to everybody on the team, and so I’ll… if I can know the number of hours, then…
80 00:10:46.790 ⇒ 00:10:51.390 Pranav Narahari: I can assign the correct amount of tickets, and then I can also understand if, like.
81 00:10:51.590 ⇒ 00:11:03.400 Pranav Narahari: we need to pull more things in, I’ll have to make sure, like, we have the hours to pull it in, basically. So it’s also… it’ll facilitate, like, the conversation a little bit with the CSO as well.
82 00:11:03.400 ⇒ 00:11:03.940 Rico Rejoso: Bye.
83 00:11:04.410 ⇒ 00:11:07.400 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, do you think that’s something that we could… we could set up?
84 00:11:07.850 ⇒ 00:11:16.090 Rico Rejoso: Yeah, that’s great, actually, yeah, we should have that. I think those are some information that weren’t available for the team.
85 00:11:16.090 ⇒ 00:11:29.529 Rico Rejoso: I mean, this is a new process, to be honest, so we don’t really have, like, I mean, on what information should be lay out for you guys. So yeah, we can count that in, and for the automation, probably yes, but
86 00:11:29.530 ⇒ 00:11:38.899 Rico Rejoso: let’s say you mentioned that there are, like, down… there are, like, weeks that we have downtimes for that client, right? So that’s why we only have, like, a total for a month that you can spread out through
87 00:11:39.010 ⇒ 00:11:39.930 Rico Rejoso: each week.
88 00:11:41.010 ⇒ 00:11:47.409 Rico Rejoso: manage that. So let’s say if we divide 40, 50 hours, that you have each month, so probably you’ll have, like, 12.5.
89 00:11:47.540 ⇒ 00:11:51.869 Rico Rejoso: Each week to, assign tasks with.
90 00:11:52.130 ⇒ 00:12:01.599 Rico Rejoso: would that be fine if we… I mean, what if, like, from next week, we need… we have a certain deadline, so we have to, like, work more hours, and that will,
91 00:12:02.080 ⇒ 00:12:08.529 Rico Rejoso: I mean, that will take away hours from the next week, right, since we have to spend more for this week, perhaps.
92 00:12:08.780 ⇒ 00:12:13.560 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, so basically how I see that working is…
93 00:12:14.900 ⇒ 00:12:18.609 Pranav Narahari: What we could even do is, like, on a per month basis, since, like.
94 00:12:18.760 ⇒ 00:12:32.090 Pranav Narahari: or however we honestly want to do this, because there may be certain instances where we need to borrow hours from the next week, right? Or just, like, in future weeks. And so…
95 00:12:32.230 ⇒ 00:12:41.290 Pranav Narahari: we would like to keep the, like, the velocity of usage, like, consistent per week, I would say. And I think for the most part, we will.
96 00:12:41.330 ⇒ 00:12:57.229 Pranav Narahari: But in certain instances where we have to, like, use more, I’m sure, like, the calculation for the next week will just be like, okay, well, now, like, the average amount of hours you have to use per week has decreased because you’ve borrowed hours from, future weeks.
97 00:12:57.390 ⇒ 00:12:59.930 Rico Rejoso: Would that also be, like… Oh yeah, go ahead.
98 00:13:00.530 ⇒ 00:13:20.199 Pranav Narahari: Oh, no, I was, just gonna say, like, like, in that example, like, if we were supposed to use 50 hours for the month, so that’s 12.5 per week. Let’s say we use 20 hours in the first week, then in all, like, in the future weeks, then we’d have to do, what, 40 divided by 3. So it’d be less than 12.5, right?
99 00:13:20.440 ⇒ 00:13:24.590 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, or no, 30 divided by 3, so 10 hours per week. So…
100 00:13:24.870 ⇒ 00:13:35.879 Pranav Narahari: in the next Slack message, I guess, and like, if we’re talking about, like, what this automation would look like, the… for the following Monday, it would say, okay, you have 10 hours to work this week, not 12.5.
101 00:13:37.760 ⇒ 00:13:56.959 Rico Rejoso: Yeah, I got you. And also, like, how do you, how do you plan out for, like, a project you’re working for, for a client? Do you plan out every week, or do you have, like, a milestone, or have you listed out all the tickets that you need to work on for that whole project for a month? How do you usually do your planning? Just a curious question.
102 00:13:57.390 ⇒ 00:14:00.749 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, so… what I did for…
103 00:14:01.160 ⇒ 00:14:08.620 Pranav Narahari: since I just… we really started this last week, for Lilo, how it’s working is, like, we’re trying to wrap up Phase 1 as of…
104 00:14:08.720 ⇒ 00:14:14.029 Pranav Narahari: basically tomorrow and Friday. And we were…
105 00:14:14.200 ⇒ 00:14:27.240 Pranav Narahari: basically, I created a bunch of tasks last Monday and Tuesday to kind of get us to that point, and so I kind of understood, like, the amount of hours that are needed to be put in for these last two weeks, or for this week and last week, I should say.
106 00:14:27.670 ⇒ 00:14:34.019 Pranav Narahari: And so, yeah, to, like, answer your question, I would think of it more on a milestone basis.
107 00:14:34.400 ⇒ 00:14:43.660 Pranav Narahari: because I think that’s small enough to, like, understand, like, the specifics of everything that needs to get done, and we’ll be able to dive into that.
108 00:14:44.360 ⇒ 00:14:50.200 Pranav Narahari: And some of, like, the… like, for Lilo, the phases, like, some of them span for, like, over a month.
109 00:14:50.360 ⇒ 00:14:57.079 Pranav Narahari: So… It’s a lot of tickets to really dive deep into if we wanted to, like…
110 00:14:57.400 ⇒ 00:15:09.139 Pranav Narahari: really understand how many hours we would need per week for the entire phase. So yeah, I do think of it on a milestone basis, which is usually, I would say, like, every 2 to 3 weeks.
111 00:15:11.610 ⇒ 00:15:23.079 Rico Rejoso: Okay, because I was thinking, if you’re doing that in that kind of span, maybe a monthly, knowing it, how many hours you have per month, and, you know, assigning it and having, like.
112 00:15:23.600 ⇒ 00:15:31.230 Rico Rejoso: A small buffer, if in case you need to spend more hours since you’re meeting some deadlines, would be better than rather having it by…
113 00:15:31.370 ⇒ 00:15:47.369 Rico Rejoso: every week, but yeah, we can send it out every week, and I think it’s up to you to manage. I mean, you probably know that… you probably know how many hours you have every month by calculating how many hours you have every week on an average, right? So I think sending it out every week would be… would work.
114 00:15:47.470 ⇒ 00:16:05.379 Rico Rejoso: I will consult the team on how we can automate that one, since we have those files internally, or if we can create another separate file to share with you guys, so you could also just take a look at it and have it on your to-do list every Monday to look through the spreadsheet and make sure that you’re within those hours allocated
115 00:16:05.670 ⇒ 00:16:07.860 Rico Rejoso: For that client on every week.
116 00:16:08.840 ⇒ 00:16:15.499 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. I still like the weekly, updates, just because…
117 00:16:15.610 ⇒ 00:16:32.530 Pranav Narahari: We may have projected that for the next 2-3 weeks, like, it’ll take this amount of time, but maybe somebody on the team, like, front-loaded some of their… or it took them longer for one week. And so, for me to have the most, like, accurate picture of, like, how many hours everybody can allocate per month.
118 00:16:32.590 ⇒ 00:16:38.310 Pranav Narahari: Or per week, I should say, like, it should kind of be recalculating on a weekly basis.
119 00:16:40.400 ⇒ 00:17:00.349 Pranav Narahari: But yeah, in terms of automation, yeah, I think a Slack bot would be, like, super useful here. But the simplest form of, like, this, which doesn’t include automation and just, like, kind of gives us the information, is probably just, like, yeah, some shareable spreadsheet that the EPs can see, that doesn’t have a, you know… there’s probably, like, a master spreadsheet that has, like, a lot of…
120 00:17:00.390 ⇒ 00:17:07.419 Pranav Narahari: Additional information that maybe doesn’t want to be visible to everybody, but if we can consolidate that to just, like.
121 00:17:07.869 ⇒ 00:17:12.969 Pranav Narahari: the kind of stuff that we’re talking about here. That would be great in a spreadsheet.
122 00:17:13.119 ⇒ 00:17:33.099 Rico Rejoso: would be, like, would that be also an additional work for you guys, if you can, like, document how many hours you work? I mean, we have an assumption, like, for example, you have 12.5 hours to work for this client this week, and let’s say by end of week, you need to input how many tasks were that, I mean, out of the 12 point hours that you have, and the tasks that you have, based on that.
123 00:17:34.499 ⇒ 00:17:58.589 Rico Rejoso: how much were accomplished on that week. So, I mean, if we’re gonna create a bot that could read through that document, or an automation that could read through that document, it will also set out an average. Like, for example, you close that, out of 12.5 hours that you have each week, you close that, around 10 hours, and some are still in progress, right? So, that will recalculate based off the hours that you have per month, into the average, and
124 00:17:58.589 ⇒ 00:18:02.629 Rico Rejoso: Generate new, average that you have for that.
125 00:18:02.629 ⇒ 00:18:07.639 Rico Rejoso: Incoming week, since you only managed to get 10 hours out of 12.1 hours done.
126 00:18:07.649 ⇒ 00:18:12.999 Rico Rejoso: Would that be, like, additional work for you guys to input those hours, let’s say, on a master spreadsheet?
127 00:18:14.620 ⇒ 00:18:17.700 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, I wonder if we can leverage Clockify here?
128 00:18:20.170 ⇒ 00:18:29.000 Pranav Narahari: because in Clockify, that’s where they’re… that’s where everybody is just inputting the hours, right? So I don’t know, I don’t want…
129 00:18:29.780 ⇒ 00:18:39.690 Pranav Narahari: I mean, I’m not opposed to it. It seems, like, pretty, like, simple if we just had to put in our hours in two places. It may just be a little bit tedious.
130 00:18:39.830 ⇒ 00:18:41.680 Rico Rejoso: Yeah, I understand.
131 00:18:42.050 ⇒ 00:18:42.970 Pranav Narahari: Yeah.
132 00:18:45.140 ⇒ 00:18:46.199 Rico Rejoso: Hmm. This is.
133 00:18:46.200 ⇒ 00:18:46.620 Pranav Narahari: Yeah.
134 00:18:46.620 ⇒ 00:18:51.370 Rico Rejoso: topic with, I’ll probably have to discuss this with our product manager and with the AI team.
135 00:18:51.970 ⇒ 00:18:55.579 Pranav Narahari: Okay, yeah, yeah, I think that would be great. I think… I think you…
136 00:18:55.800 ⇒ 00:19:03.260 Pranav Narahari: Utam was talking about creating, like, an MCP for Clockify anyways, and so this would be a great application of that MCP.
137 00:19:03.260 ⇒ 00:19:04.890 Rico Rejoso: Yeah, thank you for bringing this up.
138 00:19:05.460 ⇒ 00:19:07.630 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, totally, totally. I think,
139 00:19:07.900 ⇒ 00:19:21.480 Pranav Narahari: you know, I know this, like, process is only, like, a week and a half old, right? So it’s like, this is, like, we’re probably just gonna have, like, a ton of, like, cool ideas like this that are just gonna make it smoother. But, yeah, let me know how I can help on this,
140 00:19:21.560 ⇒ 00:19:28.380 Pranav Narahari: I’d love to, you know, help with any… anything regarding this, or anything else EP-related as well.
141 00:19:29.130 ⇒ 00:19:33.849 Rico Rejoso: Yep, definitely. Let’s try to make your, I mean, your life much easier on the EP side.
142 00:19:34.240 ⇒ 00:19:35.239 Pranav Narahari: I appreciate it.
143 00:19:35.240 ⇒ 00:19:48.410 Rico Rejoso: Yeah, anything else? I think right now, we’re just gonna stick with the manual process, since we don’t have everything in place yet. But you probably get our… I mean, if you have any questions in regards to how operating works for now, I think…
144 00:19:48.570 ⇒ 00:19:51.870 Rico Rejoso: You probably know how this works. It’s just simple as, you know…
145 00:19:53.290 ⇒ 00:20:05.019 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, I think this, this ad functionality is just, like, the main thing that I’ll be working on. Yeah. Some of this stuff is up-to-date, so, like, for me, if you click on my name on the right.
146 00:20:07.320 ⇒ 00:20:12.610 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, so… I think it says, like, I’m only at 20 hours per week, but…
147 00:20:13.040 ⇒ 00:20:18.379 Pranav Narahari: pretty sure I’m more than that now. I’ve talked to Utam, and he said, like, I’m at 30.
148 00:20:18.570 ⇒ 00:20:19.650 Pranav Narahari: Okay.
149 00:20:19.940 ⇒ 00:20:23.679 Pranav Narahari: Yeah. So… Yeah, I just…
150 00:20:23.680 ⇒ 00:20:24.810 Rico Rejoso: Is that over here.
151 00:20:26.630 ⇒ 00:20:29.909 Rico Rejoso: You also have access to change this one, by the way.
152 00:20:29.910 ⇒ 00:20:36.439 Pranav Narahari: Oh, I do. Okay, I tried to do that yesterday, but I didn’t see this specific view, so that could have been on me.
153 00:20:37.360 ⇒ 00:20:42.660 Rico Rejoso: Yeah, this is a new update coming from Operating. I think they just launched it end of
154 00:20:43.170 ⇒ 00:20:44.750 Rico Rejoso: Quarter 4 last year.
155 00:20:45.760 ⇒ 00:20:47.670 Pranav Narahari: Mmm, gotcha. Okay.
156 00:20:48.810 ⇒ 00:20:58.230 Rico Rejoso: Okay, so that will indicate that you’re spending 30 hours, 30 hours here, and… 30 hours.
157 00:20:58.450 ⇒ 00:20:59.180 Pranav Narahari: Perfect.
158 00:20:59.560 ⇒ 00:21:16.299 Rico Rejoso: Okay, I think our first step would be, like, making sure all planners would be able to assign two hours on each team member that they have working for that project, so we can take a look if we have enough resources, or if we should hire anymore. That’s the next step.
159 00:21:18.010 ⇒ 00:21:23.609 Pranav Narahari: Yeah, and I think, yeah, even without automation, we’ll be able to, like, figure that out, because…
160 00:21:23.880 ⇒ 00:21:42.949 Pranav Narahari: basically just me talking to, like, my team, which is, you know, it’s not massive, right? It’s just gonna be Sam, Casey, and Utam. I’ll be able to see, like, okay, I’m thinking of assigning you X amount of hours, I don’t know how that balances well with your other clients, and then I’ll get feedback based on that. And if I ever get feedback where it’s like.
161 00:21:42.950 ⇒ 00:21:51.189 Pranav Narahari: that’s, like, a lot of hours for me, then I can come back to, like, either… should I come back to you and just be like, oh, okay, we’re having a little bit of a staffing problem?
162 00:21:51.200 ⇒ 00:21:55.720 Pranav Narahari: Maybe something to talk about, like, adding an additional…
163 00:21:55.740 ⇒ 00:21:57.559 Pranav Narahari: Person to the… to the client.
164 00:21:57.820 ⇒ 00:22:09.729 Rico Rejoso: Yeah, that’s a great topic to discuss during our operations and EP planning on Monday. But if in case you need it urgently, you can just send it on our EP channel. I think everyone can help out, especially you, Tom.
165 00:22:10.410 ⇒ 00:22:13.209 Pranav Narahari: Perfect, perfect. This is awesome, Rico, thank you.
166 00:22:13.460 ⇒ 00:22:16.100 Rico Rejoso: Alrighty, I think that’s it. Do you have any more questions?
167 00:22:16.420 ⇒ 00:22:17.409 Pranav Narahari: No, that’s it.
168 00:22:17.680 ⇒ 00:22:26.669 Rico Rejoso: Alrighty, thank you so much for the time, Pranav, and yeah, if you have any questions, feel free to send me a message, or you can just go straight to the EP channel so everyone can assist.
169 00:22:27.160 ⇒ 00:22:28.760 Pranav Narahari: Totally, totally. Thank you so much.
170 00:22:28.760 ⇒ 00:22:30.220 Rico Rejoso: Alright, you have a good one, okay?
171 00:22:30.520 ⇒ 00:22:31.389 Pranav Narahari: You too, bye.
