2 00:00:19.510 00:00:20.310 Samuel Roberts: Ayy.

3 00:00:23.380 00:00:24.840 Samuel Roberts: How’s your day going?

4 00:00:25.020 00:00:26.520 Samuel Roberts: Good, good.

5 00:00:29.110 00:00:33.510 Samuel Roberts: I was checking out that, the company that UTOM set up the demo for.

6 00:00:33.510 00:00:34.779 Mustafa Raja: Oh yeah, I did too.

7 00:00:35.120 00:00:37.189 Samuel Roberts: It looks… interesting.

8 00:00:37.190 00:00:39.650 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I don’t like their website, to be honest.

9 00:00:39.960 00:00:44.450 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I watched some other videos, but, the,

10 00:00:44.710 00:00:49.090 Samuel Roberts: It’s… it’s… the AOP seems really interesting. Did you see that?

11 00:00:49.370 00:00:53.590 Mustafa Raja: Oh, no, I didn’t. What I did is I only looked at their website.

12 00:00:53.700 00:00:56.429 Mustafa Raja: And it visually didn’t look…

13 00:01:00.900 00:01:01.480 Mustafa Raja: Good.

14 00:01:01.480 00:01:01.920 Samuel Roberts: Yeah?

15 00:01:01.920 00:01:03.410 Mustafa Raja: So… Yeah.

16 00:01:03.410 00:01:08.539 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I was trying to see what they actually did, so I watched a couple of the videos, like.

17 00:01:08.540 00:01:08.890 Mustafa Raja: I’ll…

18 00:01:08.890 00:01:12.160 Samuel Roberts: I didn’t understand initially, but,

19 00:01:12.570 00:01:15.890 Samuel Roberts: If they… if it works the way they say it works, it could be an interesting tool.

20 00:01:15.890 00:01:17.350 Justin Breshears: Morning, friends!

21 00:01:17.470 00:01:18.140 Samuel Roberts: Women.

22 00:01:18.480 00:01:20.589 Mustafa Raja: Ayy… How are you?

23 00:01:23.910 00:01:24.590 Samuel Roberts: There we go.

24 00:01:25.500 00:01:26.639 Samuel Roberts: How you doing, Justin?

25 00:01:27.180 00:01:28.850 Justin Breshears: I’m good. How are you?

26 00:01:29.880 00:01:30.720 Samuel Roberts: Alright.

27 00:01:32.760 00:01:34.679 Samuel Roberts: Where did you find that background again?

28 00:01:35.040 00:01:39.069 Justin Breshears: I just searched on the Google Drive, here, I can send it to you.

29 00:01:39.070 00:01:43.520 Samuel Roberts: Okay, cool. Yeah, I went in my Google Drive, I don’t think things have been shared with me, I just have my stuff on there, I guess.

30 00:01:43.520 00:01:44.460 Justin Breshears: I got you, I got you.

31 00:01:44.460 00:01:46.130 Samuel Roberts: Haven’t needed it a lot, so…

32 00:01:47.300 00:01:49.720 Mustafa Raja: There’s, like, 8 to choose from.

33 00:01:52.970 00:01:53.500 Samuel Roberts: Cool.

34 00:02:02.420 00:02:03.560 Justin Breshears: Saying on.

35 00:02:05.190 00:02:06.010 Justin Breshears: Boom.

36 00:02:06.570 00:02:07.250 Samuel Roberts: Sweet.

37 00:02:09.810 00:02:10.830 Justin Breshears: Alright.

38 00:02:17.280 00:02:22.230 Justin Breshears: Let’s dive in and go through our tickets. So I understand this is…

39 00:02:22.730 00:02:31.760 Justin Breshears: a joint, effort here for default and interlude. Are we all on both of these? Or is there anybody that…

40 00:02:31.920 00:02:34.250 Henry Zhao: No, I’m only default.

41 00:02:34.430 00:02:42.470 Justin Breshears: Only default, okay. Well, let’s start with default, so that if you need to balance Henry, you can. Also, hello, Henry, I haven’t gotten a chance to meet you yet.

42 00:02:42.470 00:02:45.600 Henry Zhao: Hi, Justin. And I don’t want to bounce, so you can start however you want to start.

43 00:02:46.380 00:02:50.130 Justin Breshears: Okay, well, let’s start with default anyway, because why not?

44 00:02:50.130 00:02:50.850 Henry Zhao: Okay.

45 00:02:50.850 00:02:51.980 Justin Breshears: Dude, okay.

46 00:02:52.310 00:02:53.060 Henry Zhao: quarterly.

47 00:02:53.690 00:03:07.620 Justin Breshears: So, in case anybody was confused as to why I’m here, I’m gonna be taking over PMing Default and Interlude, so you will see my hopefully bright and shining face more often on these.

48 00:03:09.440 00:03:24.500 Justin Breshears: One of the things that I want to make sure that we get buttoned up is, you know, how we’re… we’re planning our sprints and, you know, documenting our tickets and things like that. So that’s what I’m going to focus on today, is making sure that all the tickets that we have right now are

49 00:03:24.520 00:03:33.810 Justin Breshears: relevant, current, all built out, you know, all that stuff, so we know exactly what we’re doing. So, for example, right now, in the cycle, we have…

50 00:03:33.930 00:03:38.819 Justin Breshears: 12 points for Mustafa and 6 for Henry.

51 00:03:39.380 00:03:44.590 Justin Breshears: I’ll open that up to the class. Does that sound about right, or do we feel like we’re off there?

52 00:03:45.060 00:03:48.100 Henry Zhao: I think mine should be a lot less, okay.

53 00:03:48.260 00:03:49.080 Henry Zhao: Oh.

54 00:03:49.080 00:03:50.379 Justin Breshears: What’s assigned to you?

55 00:03:50.960 00:03:52.749 Justin Breshears: You’ve got these two.

56 00:03:52.750 00:03:58.759 Henry Zhao: Yeah… I think D54 is kind of blocked.

57 00:03:58.880 00:04:02.130 Henry Zhao: Based on engineering, resources, so…

58 00:04:02.910 00:04:03.480 Justin Breshears: Okay.

59 00:04:03.480 00:04:07.780 Henry Zhao: Yeah, technically it’s 6, but this will take longer than… Just this week.

60 00:04:08.450 00:04:11.269 Justin Breshears: So it’s blocked by us internally, or what’s blocked?

61 00:04:11.270 00:04:14.279 Henry Zhao: their engineering resources, they need to implement events for us.

62 00:04:14.660 00:04:16.890 Justin Breshears: Okay, so they… we need something from the Viant.

63 00:04:16.890 00:04:20.320 Henry Zhao: Yeah, exactly. So yeah, you can do blocked by clients.

64 00:04:20.560 00:04:22.840 Justin Breshears: Okay. Have you reached out to them?

65 00:04:23.670 00:04:25.150 Henry Zhao: I’ll reach out again today.

66 00:04:25.150 00:04:26.140 Justin Breshears: Okay, cool.

67 00:04:26.280 00:04:31.880 Justin Breshears: Henry to reach out, client… Needs…

68 00:04:32.460 00:04:34.809 Justin Breshears: What do we need? What did you say we need? Sorry.

69 00:04:34.810 00:04:38.070 Henry Zhao: Them to implement more, amplitude events.

70 00:04:38.290 00:04:39.450 Justin Breshears: And students.

71 00:04:44.880 00:04:45.720 Justin Breshears: Is that right?

72 00:04:46.250 00:04:47.539 Henry Zhao: Yeah.

73 00:04:47.540 00:04:48.200 Justin Breshears: Okay, cool.

74 00:04:48.790 00:04:54.990 Justin Breshears: I just like to keep comments on, like, where… what the progress is on the tickets and things like that, so I’ll do that as we talk, so…

75 00:04:54.990 00:04:55.710 Henry Zhao: Sounds good.

76 00:04:55.710 00:05:00.659 Justin Breshears: Okay, you got that, we’re checking on your client response. This one’s still good and relevant?

77 00:05:01.610 00:05:03.189 Henry Zhao: Yeah, we’ll do that tomorrow.

78 00:05:03.520 00:05:06.900 Justin Breshears: Well, okay. Still a one-pointer, everything?

79 00:05:07.510 00:05:08.210 Henry Zhao: Yeah.

80 00:05:08.210 00:05:14.550 Justin Breshears: Okay, so you’re ideally spending… about…

81 00:05:14.550 00:05:16.060 Henry Zhao: Yeah, pretty much nothing, yeah.

82 00:05:16.060 00:05:16.910 Justin Breshears: Yeah, okay.

83 00:05:17.150 00:05:17.900 Justin Breshears: Cool.

84 00:05:18.100 00:05:24.080 Justin Breshears: Sounds good. I appreciate you. Mustafa, let’s check yours here.

85 00:05:24.510 00:05:29.510 Justin Breshears: You have a lot that were dated Friday. Do we have any kind of updates on these?

86 00:05:29.660 00:05:34.550 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, so, the ones that are blocked are blocked by,

87 00:05:35.070 00:05:41.459 Mustafa Raja: API access that we have, so we need access to more… more fields.

88 00:05:42.180 00:05:47.059 Mustafa Raja: I did reach out to, Klang, but I haven’t had any…

89 00:05:47.260 00:05:51.819 Mustafa Raja: Response from them, and Utim said that we should hold on.

90 00:05:54.330 00:05:56.480 Mustafa Raja: And, Utam Will DM.

91 00:05:56.820 00:05:59.150 Mustafa Raja: DM them directly, so, yeah.

92 00:06:00.130 00:06:02.600 Mustafa Raja: Dx77 is locked.

93 00:06:02.600 00:06:07.390 Uttam Kumaran: Not by Kai entirely, so I… Yeah, yeah.

94 00:06:08.160 00:06:23.420 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, DEF77 is halfway done. It included sales and funding signals. The funding fields, we have them, so I implemented them. The sales ones, we don’t have them.

95 00:06:23.790 00:06:26.109 Mustafa Raja: So yeah, it’s sitting there.

96 00:06:27.080 00:06:32.590 Justin Breshears: Okay, so these 3 are all black, but we have been reaching out, and there’s comms to the client on these, right?

97 00:06:32.790 00:06:33.720 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, yeah.

98 00:06:33.900 00:06:34.530 Justin Breshears: Okay.

99 00:06:35.540 00:06:38.980 Justin Breshears: Okay, what about these that need client response?

100 00:06:39.150 00:06:42.260 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, seems to be over here, too.

101 00:06:42.260 00:06:44.820 Justin Breshears: Same story there. Okay, so we got a lot of blockers.

102 00:06:44.820 00:06:49.980 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, they were… they were out, like, last week for a conference,

103 00:06:50.400 00:06:56.319 Uttam Kumaran: And then, like, we missed the fri- like, we just missed a Friday meeting, and so there’s still sort of some block.

104 00:06:57.520 00:07:00.829 Justin Breshears: I know we have a call with them…

105 00:07:01.200 00:07:10.139 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, and to also give you a context, so I… our… I’m having our renewal and, like, project review.

106 00:07:10.500 00:07:16.820 Uttam Kumaran: Well, I will… hammer through these block things with them there as well.

107 00:07:17.080 00:07:21.170 Uttam Kumaran: I wanted to talk about is, like, how we…

108 00:07:21.330 00:07:26.459 Uttam Kumaran: If the meetings are enough for us to continue to get contacts, we need to change anything, but yeah.

109 00:07:28.340 00:07:31.130 Justin Breshears: I’ll update these due dates,

110 00:07:32.550 00:07:35.840 Justin Breshears: Just so that we keep them… why do I not have a due date?

111 00:07:35.990 00:07:37.299 Justin Breshears: option here.

112 00:07:39.950 00:07:40.880 Justin Breshears: There we go.

113 00:07:41.710 00:07:53.120 Justin Breshears: I’ll just keep these on our radar by setting them to the end of this week, but, we’ll keep an eye on when we can get those blockers undone. What about these that are in progress? Looks like we’re overdue on these.

114 00:07:55.170 00:07:56.830 Mustafa Raja: And then go motion tier.

115 00:08:02.600 00:08:07.820 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, this really is only reporting.

116 00:08:09.780 00:08:14.570 Mustafa Raja: We did create reports from the.

117 00:08:17.870 00:08:21.040 Justin Breshears: Sorry, the time you broke up for me, I don’t know if that’s happening to anybody else.

118 00:08:21.040 00:08:25.060 Uttam Kumaran: Sorry, Eric, you, you… Geiger.

119 00:08:25.930 00:08:28.399 Justin Breshears: I’m not catching anything, is she?

120 00:08:29.130 00:08:30.080 Samuel Roberts: Very garbled.

121 00:08:32.610 00:08:33.760 Samuel Roberts: Bad, right?

122 00:08:38.070 00:08:43.549 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, this really, this really, this really is, just reports, I guess.

123 00:08:43.960 00:08:45.119 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

124 00:08:48.320 00:08:52.629 Justin Breshears: Okay, so what are we doing on this one? Is it still a relevant ticket?

125 00:08:53.900 00:08:55.380 Mustafa Raja: Let me look into this, though.

126 00:08:55.380 00:08:59.180 Samuel Roberts: Okay, at the bottom here, it says it’s still waiting for that list of accounts. Is that this one?

127 00:09:01.200 00:09:01.960 Mustafa Raja: I mean, this is…

128 00:09:01.960 00:09:08.140 Justin Breshears: That’s the last update that we have, so if we need something from the client there, let’s add it to the list of things that we need from them.

129 00:09:08.940 00:09:18.690 Mustafa Raja: Sorry, I forgot, Ryan needs to give us a list of accounts that we need to run, and then based on those accounts, we are going to create reports for them.

130 00:09:18.890 00:09:22.930 Samuel Roberts: Okay, so it’s related to that list, okay. Yeah, I think,

131 00:09:23.450 00:09:27.390 Samuel Roberts: Dafa had mentioned it to Ryan in the Slack, but…

132 00:09:27.940 00:09:31.090 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, ISM is going to take over that in the meantime.

133 00:09:31.090 00:09:33.459 Samuel Roberts: Perfect, yeah. I’m glad we helped on this one.

134 00:09:34.490 00:09:35.130 Justin Breshears: Cool.

135 00:09:35.260 00:09:36.500 Justin Breshears: What about this one?

136 00:09:37.050 00:09:38.450 Justin Breshears: Still, same thing.

137 00:09:38.780 00:09:39.550 Mustafa Raja: Yes.

138 00:09:40.070 00:09:42.450 Justin Breshears: Okay,

139 00:09:42.730 00:09:48.030 Justin Breshears: So what I’m hearing is that we are completely blocked and nobody’s working on anything. Is that right?

140 00:09:48.570 00:09:51.549 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, but we did reach out, I guess.

141 00:09:51.740 00:09:52.850 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

142 00:09:53.300 00:09:54.589 Samuel Roberts: There’s no work calculated.

143 00:09:55.080 00:09:56.180 Justin Breshears: So…

144 00:09:56.250 00:10:09.649 Justin Breshears: This is good, not good that we’re blocked, but good that we’re encountering this situation, because my ask from the team now, going forward, will be, if you are blocked and you don’t have anything to work on, raise your hand and let me know. Because I… I can…

145 00:10:09.650 00:10:28.630 Justin Breshears: help unblock, or get a plan forward, or can figure out what we’re doing. The worst thing that we can do is be blocked, not say anything, twiddle our thumbs, and then a whole sprint’s gone by, and we haven’t done anything for the client, right? So, we need to be surfacing these things to them, who Tom has a good relationship with them. I think he was trying through the…

146 00:10:28.630 00:10:38.610 Justin Breshears: the bad connection there to say that he was on top of, you know, getting these things unblocked. So… we can work on that, and I know there’s a renewal conversation happening there, too, so…

147 00:10:38.700 00:10:48.140 Justin Breshears: But if you’re ever, like, blocked like this, you know, speak up, be loud about it, and we’ll get you unblocked as quickly as we can.

148 00:10:48.300 00:10:53.209 Justin Breshears: Is there anything that we can be doing for them that is not captured.

149 00:10:53.210 00:10:53.700 Mustafa Raja: Oh, yeah.

150 00:10:53.700 00:10:54.490 Justin Breshears: in our tickets.

151 00:10:54.490 00:10:56.879 Mustafa Raja: I did work on the dashboard.

152 00:10:57.090 00:11:03.060 Mustafa Raja: Okay. For which, Utam just sent them an update in external channel.

153 00:11:03.290 00:11:06.599 Mustafa Raja: I didn’t create a ticket for that, so…

154 00:11:07.670 00:11:11.080 Justin Breshears: Okay, can you please create a ticket for that?

155 00:11:11.080 00:11:15.829 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, yeah, I’ll create one after this and put it in internal review.

156 00:11:16.380 00:11:33.119 Justin Breshears: Thank you, appreciate that. Now, we need to track everything because, we’re really gonna be looking at, you know, our hours and, you know, how we’re tracking towards, margin, you know, goals that we have and things like that. So, anything you do for a client needs to be tracked.

157 00:11:33.440 00:11:34.090 Mustafa Raja: Okay.

158 00:11:34.560 00:11:35.150 Justin Breshears: Cool.

159 00:11:37.470 00:11:45.460 Justin Breshears: So you’re… you’re good there, you did that, we’re gonna get you unblocked. You got this one you’re working on, Henry. Anything else for default?

160 00:11:47.090 00:11:47.690 Mustafa Raja: Nope.

161 00:11:48.630 00:11:49.170 Henry Zhao: Nope.

162 00:11:53.450 00:12:03.239 Justin Breshears: Okay, see, I see who Tom’s been chatting in, so they sent two Slacks on Friday and yesterday, no response. Okay, so we’re on it. And he shared dashboard version 1 with them. Okay.

163 00:12:07.650 00:12:08.810 Mustafa Raja: Okay, yeah.

164 00:12:08.810 00:12:12.569 Justin Breshears: Create, backlog placeholder ticket for V2.

165 00:12:13.020 00:12:14.740 Justin Breshears: A dashboard, okay.

166 00:12:15.970 00:12:18.169 Mustafa Raja: I guess we can treat that right now.

167 00:12:18.540 00:12:21.100 Justin Breshears: Okay, let’s do that.

168 00:12:22.390 00:12:23.470 Justin Breshears: So…

169 00:12:23.470 00:12:27.400 Mustafa Raja: let’s say V2 Dashboard, and put it in the backlog.

170 00:12:28.540 00:12:31.430 Justin Breshears: Okay. Can you fill in with, like, description?

171 00:12:31.870 00:12:32.930 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, yeah.

172 00:12:33.220 00:12:36.180 Mustafa Raja: I’ll fill up the relevant links and all.

173 00:12:37.130 00:12:45.689 Uttam Kumaran: There’s no requirements yet, but we just sent this to them for feedback today, so unless there’s, like, small cosmetic changes, we can shove all of them into a second ticket.

174 00:12:47.010 00:12:50.750 Justin Breshears: Got it. Okay, so this is just placeholder for feedback. Yes.

175 00:12:50.940 00:12:51.980 Justin Breshears: Got it.

176 00:12:53.240 00:13:01.009 Justin Breshears: Okay, we don’t really have an estimate yet, then, because we don’t really have the feedback, so we’ll go up there.

177 00:13:09.910 00:13:10.680 Justin Breshears: Perfect.

178 00:13:11.310 00:13:13.039 Samuel Roberts: Probably move that to the next cycle, too.

179 00:13:13.760 00:13:14.670 Justin Breshears: Yeah.

180 00:13:14.940 00:13:18.479 Justin Breshears: Sorry, y’all will have to bear with me until I get Linear down, I’m still…

181 00:13:18.480 00:13:19.619 Samuel Roberts: No, you’re good, I’ve been…

182 00:13:19.620 00:13:20.150 Justin Breshears: there.

183 00:13:21.050 00:13:21.960 Samuel Roberts: Last project was a kid.

184 00:13:21.960 00:13:26.340 Justin Breshears: We’re gonna put it in needs client response, and then we will…

185 00:13:27.620 00:13:35.149 Justin Breshears: Yeah, I mean, most likely, it’ll go to next cycle. How do I do that? Cycle, there we go.

186 00:13:35.710 00:13:36.490 Justin Breshears: Perfect.

187 00:13:38.220 00:13:40.600 Justin Breshears: Okay, anything else on default?

188 00:13:42.710 00:13:44.610 Mustafa Raja: This is pretty much it, Angus.

189 00:13:45.330 00:13:45.920 Justin Breshears: Cool.

190 00:13:46.140 00:13:53.750 Justin Breshears: I do want to spend more time on Interlude, because we got some… we got some problems here. We have nothing.

191 00:13:54.330 00:13:59.100 Justin Breshears: Nothing created. So we need to change that. I know.

192 00:13:59.100 00:13:59.999 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, of you.

193 00:14:00.690 00:14:01.720 Justin Breshears: Sorry, go ahead.

194 00:14:01.880 00:14:03.960 Mustafa Raja: We have it in Notion…

195 00:14:03.960 00:14:04.440 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.

196 00:14:04.440 00:14:15.350 Justin Breshears: Yeah, I know there’s a document floating around with stuff, but we do need to get it into linear. So Sam, I know you had commented on that. I haven’t gotten a chance to review your comments, just…

197 00:14:15.350 00:14:15.710 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.

198 00:14:15.710 00:14:16.290 Justin Breshears: But…

199 00:14:16.290 00:14:17.840 Samuel Roberts: Most of good.

200 00:14:18.000 00:14:23.090 Samuel Roberts: They all look good, really, I think, except a couple there weren’t interlude-specific.

201 00:14:23.940 00:14:24.460 Samuel Roberts: -Oh.

202 00:14:24.710 00:14:25.780 Justin Breshears: Interesting.

203 00:14:25.920 00:14:30.660 Samuel Roberts: I think… I think we had discussed some of the issues On the transcript.

204 00:14:30.940 00:14:36.630 Samuel Roberts: with, like, the way the meetings were happening and trying to create linear tickets and stuff, so I think a couple of those should be…

205 00:14:36.930 00:14:38.230 Samuel Roberts: AI internal.

206 00:14:38.760 00:14:39.610 Justin Breshears: Okay.

207 00:14:39.610 00:14:47.250 Samuel Roberts: But I kind of commented on which ones I thought were… if it just says, looks good, that’s an interlude one. If it… I said something about it moving it, that’s…

208 00:14:47.250 00:14:47.929 Justin Breshears: It’s got a meeting.

209 00:14:47.930 00:14:51.129 Samuel Roberts: That’s… I think I communicated that to Rico earlier this morning, too.

210 00:14:51.580 00:15:01.520 Justin Breshears: Yeah, that’s good to know, because I think there’s been a tendency in the past to just kind of throw things into AI and just, like, copy and paste, but we need to be, like, reviewing those, like.

211 00:15:02.090 00:15:05.670 Justin Breshears: relevance, right? So I think that’s probably what happened there. Good call out.

212 00:15:05.670 00:15:10.379 Samuel Roberts: Yeah. And that’s even what we were discussing, was the linear ticket generator, so that’s kind of…

213 00:15:10.540 00:15:12.229 Samuel Roberts: A full circle thing there.

214 00:15:12.370 00:15:14.850 Samuel Roberts: Okay, cool. I think that’s what he used to make those initially.

215 00:15:15.260 00:15:28.399 Justin Breshears: What I will do then is, work on translating those over here into linear, today, then. So now that we have your input on that, Sam, I will get those tickets in there. Let me see if I can get,

216 00:15:28.890 00:15:30.989 Justin Breshears: That doc pulled up.

217 00:15:32.490 00:15:35.139 Justin Breshears: Oh wait, is it this one? I already had it on.

218 00:15:35.140 00:15:35.870 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, yeah.

219 00:15:35.880 00:15:40.430 Justin Breshears: I’m prepared. Okay, yeah, so, like, yeah, that’s…

220 00:15:40.860 00:15:44.079 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, it’s not specific, it’s for everything, so yeah.

221 00:15:44.450 00:15:50.170 Samuel Roberts: Everything else here looked good. The one thing I wanted to highlight was the bigger comment here,

222 00:15:50.990 00:16:01.259 Samuel Roberts: Mustafa’s gonna check to see if he has access to Circleback, which might let us pull them, the transcripts that we’re looking for here, or the questionnaires and the transcripts. I think…

223 00:16:01.760 00:16:12.249 Samuel Roberts: I don’t know if he’s had a chance to check yet, but if he has access, I don’t want to necessarily just go and pull everything from that, I kind of want to give them a heads up we’re doing it. And if he doesn’t have access, we’ll have to request them from them.

224 00:16:12.430 00:16:15.719 Samuel Roberts: So that’s kind of… the flowchart here.

225 00:16:15.890 00:16:22.520 Samuel Roberts: Okay. But I was… I met that pain earlier after our first AI meeting this morning, and I didn’t know if you could…

226 00:16:23.130 00:16:27.640 Samuel Roberts: Once he knows if he has access, we’ll send… determine which message to send, I guess.

227 00:16:27.640 00:16:29.250 Mustafa Raja: Let me check right now.

228 00:16:29.600 00:16:30.150 Samuel Roberts: Okay.

229 00:16:32.080 00:16:34.890 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I think if we had access, I’m not as worried.

230 00:16:34.890 00:16:36.299 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, we have access.

231 00:16:37.610 00:16:38.950 Justin Breshears: We have access? Okay.

232 00:16:39.400 00:16:44.259 Samuel Roberts: So then I… I just kind of want to let them know we’re poking around and… circle back.

233 00:16:44.530 00:16:59.600 Justin Breshears: I think that’s a good policy in general, anytime that we’re poking around in client systems, to let… make sure that they’re aware of what we’re doing, especially if it’s, like, something that’s going to, you know, take a system offline, or, you know, influence any other processes or something.

234 00:16:59.600 00:17:05.760 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, at this point, it was just kind of a, they’re cool with it kind of thing, make sure that they’re okay with us doing that.

235 00:17:05.760 00:17:13.269 Mustafa Raja: Circleback actually sent me back to login, so… so I believe I need to log in again, so I don’t have the…

236 00:17:13.589 00:17:17.130 Mustafa Raja: Access, so we’ll have to ask them. Okay.

237 00:17:17.380 00:17:19.159 Justin Breshears: For the Johnson.

238 00:17:19.589 00:17:26.429 Mustafa Raja: And the question is, we have access to their Notion, so we can pull, but we can also ask them to…

239 00:17:26.770 00:17:27.889 Mustafa Raja: provide those.

240 00:17:30.520 00:17:31.040 Justin Breshears: Check.

241 00:17:31.720 00:17:35.629 Justin Breshears: So let me ask them for access. So, Sam, can you…

242 00:17:36.020 00:17:38.349 Justin Breshears: Are you gonna reach out to them about that, or…

243 00:17:38.870 00:17:43.980 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I’ll send a message then to let them know. Did we get the deck? Did he share that link?

244 00:17:45.690 00:17:47.999 Mustafa Raja: I don’t see…

245 00:17:48.000 00:17:54.849 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, this is another client where we’re just gonna have to spam, basically. They’re really busy.

246 00:17:54.850 00:17:58.160 Samuel Roberts: He had the whole thing together, I don’t think… I think he just had a few more things before he shared.

247 00:17:58.160 00:18:04.220 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, like, I think the order of operations is, like, ideally, if we’re in a meeting with them, get it live.

248 00:18:04.390 00:18:05.220 Samuel Roberts: That game is, like…

249 00:18:05.220 00:18:13.120 Uttam Kumaran: if we can send a follow-up and be like, we asked this for you, and then I can always… once a message is there, I can back-channel.

250 00:18:13.240 00:18:15.390 Uttam Kumaran: But, like, we’re gonna lose…

251 00:18:15.520 00:18:21.080 Uttam Kumaran: Two or three days just, you know, things like this, because they’re… they’re just as busy as we are, you know, internally.

252 00:18:21.080 00:18:21.409 Samuel Roberts: Of course.

253 00:18:22.520 00:18:32.879 Samuel Roberts: Okay, yeah, I’ll send the message then that’ll specifically ask for the decks, and mention that we would be interested in the circle back, either access or having them send us the stuff, if it’s easier for them.

254 00:18:36.340 00:18:37.320 Justin Breshears: Okay.

255 00:18:39.380 00:18:46.690 Justin Breshears: Cool. Is there a External client channel that we have.

256 00:18:46.850 00:18:47.580 Justin Breshears: With them?

257 00:18:48.480 00:18:49.900 Justin Breshears: Can I get added to that?

258 00:18:49.900 00:18:52.529 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I’ll… do it here.

259 00:18:52.880 00:18:53.279 Justin Breshears: Thank you.

260 00:18:53.280 00:18:53.870 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.

261 00:18:55.760 00:18:57.720 Samuel Roberts: Oh, that didn’t add it.

262 00:18:59.140 00:19:02.810 Justin Breshears: And then I think there is,

263 00:19:03.630 00:19:06.419 Justin Breshears: Some issue of, like, are these.

264 00:19:06.420 00:19:07.040 Samuel Roberts: Oh, no.

265 00:19:07.040 00:19:07.770 Justin Breshears: happened here, right?

266 00:19:07.770 00:19:09.939 Samuel Roberts: the… yeah, you should be added now.

267 00:19:10.310 00:19:11.779 Justin Breshears: Okay, perfect, got it, thank you.

268 00:19:11.820 00:19:13.730 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, the old tickets.

269 00:19:13.790 00:19:14.920 Mustafa Raja: I…

270 00:19:15.810 00:19:16.470 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.

271 00:19:16.950 00:19:21.120 Mustafa Raja: Maybe we should also add him in the default external tag?

272 00:19:21.740 00:19:25.959 Justin Breshears: Oh, yeah, yeah, there’s a… any… any external channels that we have with them.

273 00:19:25.960 00:19:31.269 Samuel Roberts: Oh, the external channel I just added you to. Are you on the other one yet? Yeah, you’re on the other one. So you’re on the internal and the external.

274 00:19:31.820 00:19:34.890 Justin Breshears: Or interlude now, but yeah, can we get on the…

275 00:19:34.890 00:19:35.480 Samuel Roberts: default scenario.

276 00:19:35.480 00:19:35.810 Justin Breshears: as well.

277 00:19:35.810 00:19:37.280 Samuel Roberts: Awesome, yeah, we’ll add you there, too.

278 00:19:37.570 00:19:38.090 Justin Breshears: No, you’re good.

279 00:19:38.090 00:19:38.560 Samuel Roberts: Thank you, thank you.

280 00:19:38.560 00:19:39.070 Justin Breshears: Nope.

281 00:19:43.440 00:19:44.480 Samuel Roberts: Beautiful.

282 00:19:44.480 00:19:45.600 Justin Breshears: Thank you so much.

283 00:19:45.920 00:19:49.090 Samuel Roberts: And you’re on the internal default already. Yeah, okay, good.

284 00:19:49.090 00:19:51.449 Justin Breshears: Yes, yes, I’m on the internal stuff, for sure.

285 00:19:51.650 00:19:53.220 Justin Breshears: Cool, thank you, that’ll help.

286 00:19:53.450 00:19:59.740 Justin Breshears: Yeah, so these, these tickets are in here, already?

287 00:19:59.880 00:20:02.510 Justin Breshears: Are any of these still relevant, or…

288 00:20:04.650 00:20:06.849 Samuel Roberts: We, like, clear them out.

289 00:20:07.540 00:20:11.489 Samuel Roberts: I would say the only things that I would want to keep in the backlog

290 00:20:12.090 00:20:18.110 Samuel Roberts: Is potentially migrating to their workspace eventually, but it… that’s not the plan right now.

291 00:20:18.240 00:20:24.870 Samuel Roberts: But, you know, we could do that. The Notion failures, we’ve not seen any, but,

292 00:20:25.200 00:20:29.120 Samuel Roberts: So it might be fine just getting rid of those, and if we need to, add them back.

293 00:20:30.030 00:20:30.540 Justin Breshears: Yeah.

294 00:20:32.670 00:20:36.180 Samuel Roberts: Everything else here is kind of…

295 00:20:40.030 00:20:45.350 Samuel Roberts: Fine… Kind of unrelated now.

296 00:20:47.140 00:20:52.989 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I think the Intern-19 would be related to technical design document.

297 00:20:53.960 00:20:56.529 Mustafa Raja: Which we did roll out.

298 00:20:58.400 00:20:59.110 Samuel Roberts: Yes.

299 00:20:59.530 00:21:00.880 Mustafa Raja: So it’s probably fine.

300 00:21:01.390 00:21:01.730 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

301 00:21:01.730 00:21:02.639 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, exactly.

302 00:21:03.670 00:21:05.289 Justin Breshears: So are we doing well with it, sorry?

303 00:21:06.050 00:21:07.920 Samuel Roberts: I think it’s good to say…

304 00:21:08.530 00:21:09.970 Samuel Roberts: Either done or delete, to be honest.

305 00:21:09.970 00:21:18.170 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I think that it did have, functional and non-functional requirements of headings and all.

306 00:21:19.600 00:21:20.480 Justin Breshears: Yeah. Okay.

307 00:21:20.480 00:21:28.260 Samuel Roberts: This one, retrying queuing logic. Is there any context in this? Yeah, no. I think, it’s…

308 00:21:28.260 00:21:31.609 Mustafa Raja: yeah, I think this one is the human in the loop.

309 00:21:31.720 00:21:35.469 Mustafa Raja: flow, which I think we do.

310 00:21:35.470 00:21:36.260 Samuel Roberts: We have.

311 00:21:36.580 00:21:37.060 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

312 00:21:37.060 00:21:39.230 Samuel Roberts: So I would say that’s done, then, too.

313 00:21:40.540 00:21:41.080 Justin Breshears: bet.

314 00:21:41.290 00:21:43.940 Samuel Roberts: Wasn’t kind of scoped the same way as the other one.

315 00:21:44.840 00:21:48.010 Samuel Roberts: Are there open questions on this still?

316 00:21:48.460 00:21:50.439 Mustafa Raja: Unresolved open questions below.

317 00:21:50.820 00:21:55.219 Mustafa Raja: This, I feel, is more… more towards the rubrics.

318 00:21:57.010 00:21:57.850 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.

319 00:21:57.850 00:22:00.480 Mustafa Raja: Brand voice feedback, modeling logic.

320 00:22:00.480 00:22:02.570 Samuel Roberts: But I don’t know if this needs to be a specific task.

321 00:22:02.570 00:22:03.590 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, exactly.

322 00:22:03.930 00:22:05.559 Samuel Roberts: We need to make changes while task force.

323 00:22:05.560 00:22:10.560 Mustafa Raja: Actually, we are, we are handling all of these, already.

324 00:22:11.210 00:22:11.930 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I don’t.

325 00:22:11.930 00:22:12.640 Mustafa Raja: analytics.

326 00:22:13.400 00:22:18.160 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I would say remove them, and if we need to add new tickets, we’ll just do that.

327 00:22:18.350 00:22:24.099 Samuel Roberts: Ask dependencies in Notion. This was something that was discussed, but I don’t think it was part of the project.

328 00:22:25.060 00:22:30.540 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, yeah, the project management team wanted us to automate something.

329 00:22:30.840 00:22:36.999 Mustafa Raja: they have in Notion, so they do their, project management in Notion.

330 00:22:37.000 00:22:42.549 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, let’s… let’s clarify if this is… like, Sam, maybe we could just clarify if they still want us to help here.

331 00:22:42.990 00:22:48.289 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I think actually they were asking about Notion agents that just got released.

332 00:22:48.290 00:22:55.149 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, and I saw you answering that thread, maybe just ask, like, hey, remember you asked us about some Notion automation, do you still want us to poke at that?

333 00:22:55.550 00:22:57.030 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, yeah, cause I think…

334 00:22:58.160 00:23:06.390 Samuel Roberts: I think it’s probably not worth it, because the Notion API is more complicated to do stuff than probably what the agents can do for them, but I will definitely have that.

335 00:23:07.840 00:23:12.980 Samuel Roberts: Like, we can do the work, but if they can get it done with the agents that are there, I wouldn’t wanna…

336 00:23:13.480 00:23:15.380 Samuel Roberts: Necessarily upsell them into that.

337 00:23:17.060 00:23:22.729 Samuel Roberts: Okay. There’s other things that are non-Notion related, or non-just-a-notion kind of thing.

338 00:23:24.710 00:23:27.240 Samuel Roberts: But I’ll… Different timeline.

339 00:23:27.690 00:23:28.020 Justin Breshears: Okay.

340 00:23:28.020 00:23:28.870 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I’ll…

341 00:23:28.870 00:23:29.220 Justin Breshears: about that.

342 00:23:29.220 00:23:32.390 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, this is their, you know, tag me here or something, and I’ll take care of that.

343 00:23:33.810 00:23:35.830 Justin Breshears: To put it… put it in this cycle.

344 00:23:36.770 00:23:42.099 Justin Breshears: I don’t know if we necessarily need to point it right now, because we’re just asking about it, but… Yeah, it’s just…

345 00:23:42.100 00:23:42.889 Samuel Roberts: Totally fine.

346 00:23:43.340 00:23:43.960 Justin Breshears: Okay.

347 00:23:44.520 00:23:51.319 Justin Breshears: Great What about… so you said you wanted to keep this one, but we don’t have any…

348 00:23:51.670 00:23:56.520 Samuel Roberts: I think the plan was eventually to do this, but they’ve just been using it on the channel that we have.

349 00:23:57.170 00:23:58.750 Samuel Roberts: So this is like a…

350 00:23:59.250 00:24:08.800 Samuel Roberts: easily could delete and add it again later, or could just keep it there, and when we’re… if and when we finally do it, move it, but to be honest, I don’t think it’s.

351 00:24:08.800 00:24:12.710 Uttam Kumaran: I would leave it in the backlog, and it’s, like, a low prio, it would be my vote.

352 00:24:12.710 00:24:19.040 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I think it’s fine, because eventually they may want that, you know, we’re still kind of iterating on it, so it’s easier on our channel, but…

353 00:24:20.570 00:24:24.430 Mustafa Raja: I think we need to onboard Micah.

354 00:24:24.640 00:24:29.290 Mustafa Raja: 2… LangFuse to be able to work with prompts.

355 00:24:29.720 00:24:34.389 Samuel Roberts: Yes, I was thinking about that. I wanted to send him a message, specifically about that.

356 00:24:34.600 00:24:39.610 Samuel Roberts: So that is… that is actually a ticket to do, just…

357 00:24:40.170 00:24:43.929 Samuel Roberts: Send him a message, maybe meet with him to show him how it works.

358 00:24:43.930 00:24:46.439 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I guess we’ll have to meet with him.

359 00:24:46.810 00:24:49.539 Mustafa Raja: We do have a meeting on Friday.

360 00:24:50.010 00:24:52.859 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, but I’d like him to try some stuff out by then.

361 00:24:52.860 00:24:53.520 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

362 00:24:55.250 00:24:58.120 Samuel Roberts: So I guess we should make a ticket or something?

363 00:24:58.400 00:24:59.389 Mustafa Raja: Regarding that?

364 00:25:00.140 00:25:05.919 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I mean, I’ll… yeah, I’ll send him a message, so if we want to ticket that message out.

365 00:25:08.160 00:25:16.759 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, let’s just… guys, let’s just be very, very clear for Justin what he needs to do. So, if there is a ticket that needs to be created, just say, can we create a ticket?

366 00:25:16.760 00:25:20.109 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, yeah. I didn’t know if, like, messages like that are important to tickets.

367 00:25:20.110 00:25:24.910 Uttam Kumaran: No, no, no, but I would say if the ask is we need to onboard him into LaneFuse, that is work.

368 00:25:25.110 00:25:29.509 Uttam Kumaran: So I would track the work. No need to track the communication, unless it’s…

369 00:25:29.510 00:25:30.090 Samuel Roberts: That’s what I was…

370 00:25:30.090 00:25:37.089 Uttam Kumaran: Everything is gonna require communication, but make it easy for Justin and just say, like, we need a ticket to get Mike on to Lankviews.

371 00:25:37.090 00:25:40.129 Samuel Roberts: Okay, yes, yeah, so not the message, but specifically the length views on board.

372 00:25:40.130 00:25:44.049 Justin Breshears: Right, yeah, we don’t ever need to ticket communication, that’s just…

373 00:25:44.050 00:25:45.960 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, that’s why I was a little…

374 00:25:45.960 00:26:04.560 Justin Breshears: Work that comes out of it, yes. Tickets like this, where we are, like, leaving something in the backlog because it’s potentially what we can help out with the client, those are great, because it keeps it back of mind and things, like, that’s what a backlog is, right? But yeah, we don’t… we only need a ticket, like, actual work that comes from them.

375 00:26:05.020 00:26:05.440 Samuel Roberts: Totally.

376 00:26:05.440 00:26:07.969 Justin Breshears: What about this guy? We wanna leave this guy in here?

377 00:26:08.890 00:26:12.330 Samuel Roberts: I would say we haven’t seen any failures, so…

378 00:26:13.640 00:26:16.180 Samuel Roberts: That’s only relevant if and when.

379 00:26:17.110 00:26:18.319 Justin Breshears: What about that one back then?

380 00:26:18.430 00:26:21.410 Samuel Roberts: Yeah. And then this one…

381 00:26:25.530 00:26:28.300 Samuel Roberts: Five weeks ago, where were we in this process on that?

382 00:26:28.520 00:26:31.120 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I feel the architecture is evolving.

383 00:26:31.520 00:26:32.430 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.

384 00:26:33.390 00:26:35.659 Samuel Roberts: I don’t… I don’t think it’s enough.

385 00:26:35.660 00:26:39.059 Mustafa Raja: State or something, but the architecture is still evolving.

386 00:26:39.060 00:26:42.269 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, and we’re still iterating through it with them, so I think it’s great.

387 00:26:42.360 00:26:43.820 Justin Breshears: Cleans that up.

388 00:26:43.820 00:26:44.400 Samuel Roberts: Yes.

389 00:26:44.400 00:26:48.110 Justin Breshears: Please.

390 00:26:55.240 00:26:57.450 Samuel Roberts: These are the tickets that… You’re looking for?

391 00:26:58.280 00:26:59.729 Justin Breshears: remove the ones that are in there.

392 00:27:00.530 00:27:01.290 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, yeah.

393 00:27:01.290 00:27:02.820 Samuel Roberts: Did you look at that.

394 00:27:03.800 00:27:06.559 Justin Breshears: They’re in there. Why could I not find it when I went to the…

395 00:27:08.570 00:27:11.840 Mustafa Raja: I guess those are in next cycle.

396 00:27:12.730 00:27:14.670 Justin Breshears: Yeah, but isn’t this the next cycle?

397 00:27:14.670 00:27:15.290 Mustafa Raja: Oh, yeah.

398 00:27:17.050 00:27:19.110 Samuel Roberts: Is there another filter applied right now?

399 00:27:19.390 00:27:28.519 Justin Breshears: You made me… I can look into that, but I’ll check into these then, offline, make sure that they match up with… with the Notion doc, and then…

400 00:27:28.650 00:27:33.719 Justin Breshears: Do we want to pull them into this cycle, or next? Because we have nothing in this cycle.

401 00:27:33.990 00:27:38.929 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I would say… What do we got here? You probably talked to…

402 00:27:39.410 00:27:41.349 Mustafa Raja: We should have these in the cycle.

403 00:27:41.800 00:27:42.839 Justin Breshears: in this cycle.

404 00:27:43.460 00:27:44.750 Mustafa Raja: These are the evals.

405 00:27:45.000 00:27:59.740 Mustafa Raja: Because those would be… those would be the, quickest ones to do, because we only need the golden dataset, which we already have. We only need to include the text, and questionnaires and transcripts. Add more only.

406 00:27:59.740 00:28:01.550 Samuel Roberts: Right, so that is technically blocked, right?

407 00:28:01.550 00:28:02.379 Justin Breshears: Oh yeah, this is a break.

408 00:28:02.380 00:28:07.169 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, yeah, this is technically blocked by, we need client response on that.

409 00:28:08.010 00:28:10.560 Justin Breshears: Yeah, we can set up a time to chat with Hannah.

410 00:28:10.560 00:28:11.230 Samuel Roberts: Wow.

411 00:28:14.220 00:28:17.459 Justin Breshears: Where’s my client response? See, this is what I don’t get about…

412 00:28:17.460 00:28:18.360 Samuel Roberts: This one is not climate.

413 00:28:18.360 00:28:18.960 Mustafa Raja: Is it just…

414 00:28:18.960 00:28:19.859 Samuel Roberts: do, and…

415 00:28:20.050 00:28:20.520 Justin Breshears: Yeah.

416 00:28:20.520 00:28:24.280 Samuel Roberts: Honestly, some of the… I realized this when I was going through… we have, like, a big…

417 00:28:24.420 00:28:30.659 Samuel Roberts: view of all the AI team tasks all across clients, and different clients have different

418 00:28:31.050 00:28:34.190 Samuel Roberts: different projects, specifically. I’ll have different.

419 00:28:35.100 00:28:36.170 Justin Breshears: statuses?

420 00:28:36.870 00:28:37.839 Uttam Kumaran: Most of them should have

421 00:28:38.220 00:28:44.549 Uttam Kumaran: Most of them should have the same swim lanes. Like, I think we basically tried to enforce that across them all.

422 00:28:44.810 00:28:52.720 Samuel Roberts: Okay, there was one I couldn’t drop into the other day, and I don’t remember what it was offhand. Okay. It was for a different… so that might just be something we just have to… Honestly, there was, I think…

423 00:28:53.350 00:28:54.210 Uttam Kumaran: MNs.

424 00:28:54.210 00:28:55.110 Justin Breshears: these…

425 00:28:55.110 00:29:07.099 Uttam Kumaran: And then what you can do is you can create a view, if you want, which can include multiple teams, or configs on users or whatever, and then at the, at the top here, Justin, there is, like.

426 00:29:07.210 00:29:13.180 Uttam Kumaran: All issues, active, backlog. You can actually click that little plus next to backlog, and create another view, which is…

427 00:29:13.400 00:29:15.759 Uttam Kumaran: Again, it’s just a configuration of filters and what’s.

428 00:29:15.760 00:29:16.120 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.

429 00:29:16.120 00:29:17.640 Uttam Kumaran: Or peer, things like that.

430 00:29:17.960 00:29:18.530 Justin Breshears: Cruel.

431 00:29:19.360 00:29:23.330 Samuel Roberts: I’ll see which one that was that I couldn’t drop into, so we could probably either…

432 00:29:23.330 00:29:32.619 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, exactly. And then also, I think one thing I wanted to flag is this team doesn’t meet every day, so that could be something to change, or…

433 00:29:32.930 00:29:35.090 Uttam Kumaran: Just want to make sure you’re aware, Justin.

434 00:29:35.090 00:29:35.640 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.

435 00:29:35.910 00:29:55.450 Justin Breshears: Right. Yeah, I’m gonna, monitor and see, like, what’s helpful if, you know, we need to meet every day, if we keep it the same cadence, or if we change to maybe a Monday, Wednesday, Friday. That’s something that, you know, we’ll decide together. We’ll do what is helpful, but what is not overkill. That’s what we’ll find interesting.

436 00:29:55.450 00:29:55.780 Uttam Kumaran: I guess?

437 00:29:56.370 00:29:56.880 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.

438 00:29:56.880 00:30:00.299 Uttam Kumaran: I guess my vote is, like, we didn’t do…

439 00:30:00.570 00:30:19.350 Uttam Kumaran: every day, because I think, like, I was pretty involved, and so we were able to… we were meeting every day. I think what’s gonna happen on clients, especially the clients that are busy, is if we lose 2 or 3 days midweek, just because, like, we’re waiting on updates, like, that’s pretty classic. I think with some of our, like.

440 00:30:19.510 00:30:30.540 Uttam Kumaran: really busier clients, so I just want to mitigate against that. Even if you meet 15 minutes a day and then cut it, I would rather you go over to start, and then cut it from there.

441 00:30:32.180 00:30:32.900 Justin Breshears: I agree.

442 00:30:32.900 00:30:33.880 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, just…

443 00:30:33.880 00:30:37.999 Justin Breshears: I’m used to meeting everyday, 15-minute daily stand-ups, that’s my, like…

444 00:30:38.000 00:30:39.550 Uttam Kumaran: I think we’re… do that.

445 00:30:39.550 00:30:42.910 Justin Breshears: On every project, so…

446 00:30:42.910 00:30:46.860 Samuel Roberts: And that’s the other thing I was gonna say, is do we split this meeting into two?

447 00:30:46.940 00:30:47.580 Justin Breshears: Yeah.

448 00:30:47.580 00:31:12.500 Justin Breshears: I don’t like having combined, I like having separate and focused. So, just so y’all know, what we just did today is not my usual stand-up. I do not go through here and groom tickets or anything. What is usually going to happen in these, and they can be, like, very quick, sometimes my stand-ups are 5 minutes long, because it’s, what did you do yesterday? What are you working on today? What blockers do you have? Those are the 3 main questions that I like to ask in a stand-up. So that’s… that’s the norm going forward in

449 00:31:12.500 00:31:34.950 Justin Breshears: We go to every day, like, that’s what it’s gonna be, so I’m not gonna take up a ton of your time. If we find, like, issues or things that we need to take offline, like, that’s… we can parking lot those for separate sessions or whatever, but my stand-ups are usually, what are you working on yesterday, what are you working on today, and what blockers do you have? So, that’s where I want to get to. The reason we did this today is because we literally didn’t have, like, anything set up in this project, so I’m trying to kind of

450 00:31:34.950 00:31:36.989 Justin Breshears: Get that sorted out first.

451 00:31:36.990 00:31:43.359 Justin Breshears: But going forward, like, we can switch it to separate for default and interlude, we can…

452 00:31:43.360 00:31:52.010 Justin Breshears: have a cap of 15 minutes on it. If it goes less, it goes less. Come prepared with what you’re working on, or what you just completed.

453 00:31:52.010 00:32:12.540 Justin Breshears: And then let’s commit to keeping tickets, like, up-to-date, so, like, comments if they’re needed in there, like, just to, you know, let no status. If you have any blockers, like, raise them. Don’t wait until the next stand-up. We have an internal Slack channel for that reason. If you’re like, hey, I got nothing to do, like, raise your hand, and we’ll get you unblocked.

454 00:32:12.540 00:32:22.789 Justin Breshears: the goal here is, like what I’m just saying, we don’t want to lose time that we could have spent delivering, and we don’t want to, you know, waste time

455 00:32:22.790 00:32:42.290 Justin Breshears: on tasks that are, you know, not top priorities. That’s the whole goal of this, is, like, making sure that we’re on the same page, on what’s top priority and keeping things moving along, because that’s ultimately what’s gonna determine the success or failure of, like, these contracts that we have. So, anyway, that’s my spiel on stand-ups.

456 00:32:42.330 00:32:52.270 Justin Breshears: I will split, and do all the calendaring and find a good time for everybody. I will commit to getting linear all

457 00:32:52.450 00:33:07.890 Justin Breshears: beautiful, after this, and looking how it should, and then we can, track from there. The one thing that I will ask from you, Sam, and Mustafa, if you want to, like, input it and collaborate on it as well, is we need to estimate these tickets that are in there now.

458 00:33:07.890 00:33:08.400 Samuel Roberts: Yes.

459 00:33:08.400 00:33:18.710 Justin Breshears: Because I… I can’t do that for y’all. I don’t know how long it’s gonna take you to do each of these. So if you would help me out with that, I will make sure all the logistical stuff is sorted out.

460 00:33:19.090 00:33:19.710 Mustafa Raja: Okay.

461 00:33:19.840 00:33:21.870 Samuel Roberts: We have priorities on all those ones, too.

462 00:33:22.610 00:33:26.120 Justin Breshears: I don’t think we do. So, like, we’ll…

463 00:33:26.350 00:33:41.469 Justin Breshears: Let’s get all of those things figured out, so that these tickets are fully built out, because I know they have descriptions and acceptance criteria and all that, that’s great. Let’s assign them, get priority, estimate, all that good stuff, and then due dates as well for them would be good.

464 00:33:41.470 00:33:47.139 Justin Breshears: That way, we know exactly, you know, how we should be tracking, and then from there, we can monitor our velocity.

465 00:33:48.620 00:33:49.410 Justin Breshears: Boop.

466 00:33:51.970 00:33:53.880 Justin Breshears: Everybody feel good about that?

467 00:33:53.880 00:33:54.390 Henry Zhao: Sounds good.

468 00:33:54.390 00:33:55.050 Mustafa Raja: Yep.

469 00:33:55.600 00:33:57.100 Justin Breshears: Awesome.

470 00:33:57.260 00:33:59.510 Justin Breshears: Well, I’m excited to work with you. It’s gonna be fun.

471 00:33:59.790 00:34:02.879 Justin Breshears: Appreciate that. Yeah, me too. We’ll link up tomorrow.

472 00:34:03.330 00:34:04.070 Henry Zhao: Good.

473 00:34:04.520 00:34:05.800 Justin Breshears: Have a great day, y’all.

474 00:34:06.530 00:34:07.130 Mustafa Raja: Thank you.
