13 00:29:48.600 ⇒ 00:29:49.639 Nicolas Sucari: Oh, nice!
14 00:29:50.610 ⇒ 00:29:52.701 Uttam: Yeah, so I’ll be there
15 00:29:53.730 ⇒ 00:29:55.613 Uttam: either. Thursday onwards.
16 00:29:57.380 ⇒ 00:30:09.549 Uttam: But otherwise I’m very. I’m really looking forward to this week. I mean, like, I don’t know. I I think like this is, it’s this is like one of the last trips I’m doing. But I really feel like the business is like at a real
17 00:30:09.630 ⇒ 00:30:13.150 Uttam: good inflection point. So I’m excited to
18 00:30:13.250 ⇒ 00:30:20.150 Uttam: to do a ton of sales stuff this week, and we have a bunch of other things, opportunities that came in that I’ll be following so
19 00:30:20.380 ⇒ 00:30:22.120 Uttam: big week this week.
20 00:30:23.270 ⇒ 00:30:27.990 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, it seems like things are moving a little bit. So yeah.
21 00:30:28.380 ⇒ 00:30:29.170 Nicolas Sucari: I think it’s.
22 00:30:29.170 ⇒ 00:30:30.589 Uttam: Yeah. Move. Moving a lot.
23 00:30:30.590 ⇒ 00:30:31.060 Nicolas Sucari: Just, so.
24 00:30:31.060 ⇒ 00:30:42.819 Uttam: Towards it, yeah, towards the direction that I hoped again. It’s a lot of the sales stuff just takes so much follow up and so much time, so part of it is like me doing it. And then me being able to train.
25 00:30:43.150 ⇒ 00:30:48.409 Uttam: you know, Brian. Also how to kind of like, handle some of that stuff. And then.
26 00:30:49.100 ⇒ 00:30:55.760 Uttam: yeah, between emails and like resumes and things like that, it’s just it’s just yeah. It should be a really good week.
27 00:30:56.060 ⇒ 00:30:59.609 Uttam: Just gotta really focus the next few days. So.
28 00:31:00.485 ⇒ 00:31:06.480 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. But that’s okay. I mean, hopefully, we can try to
29 00:31:06.930 ⇒ 00:31:08.489 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, work hard on
30 00:31:08.510 ⇒ 00:31:11.559 Nicolas Sucari: today tomorrow, Wednesday, so that you can go
31 00:31:11.760 ⇒ 00:31:17.869 Nicolas Sucari: a little bit more relaxed on Thursday to your trip. So yeah, we need to aim for that. I think.
32 00:31:17.870 ⇒ 00:31:22.014 Uttam: And I think the hopefully, the big things for pool parts and
33 00:31:23.060 ⇒ 00:31:26.230 Uttam: for Stella. We can just map out today.
34 00:31:26.300 ⇒ 00:31:30.149 Uttam: And then, yeah, I think, for the most part we should be able to hand.
35 00:31:30.720 ⇒ 00:31:36.030 Uttam: You know that off, I think, like a big thing, for pool parts are just a deliverable for
36 00:31:36.060 ⇒ 00:31:37.590 Uttam: them. On Wednesday.
37 00:31:38.030 ⇒ 00:31:38.350 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
38 00:31:38.726 ⇒ 00:31:40.609 Uttam: And then Stella, I know.
39 00:31:41.880 ⇒ 00:31:47.019 Uttam: I know. Nick pushed a bunch of things through, and then, in case there’s anything more
40 00:31:48.670 ⇒ 00:31:50.149 Uttam: you know we can.
41 00:31:50.170 ⇒ 00:31:52.340 Uttam: We can see if we can take on so.
42 00:31:54.270 ⇒ 00:31:55.080 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
43 00:31:56.880 ⇒ 00:31:59.580 Nicolas Sucari: yes, of course. I think
44 00:31:59.600 ⇒ 00:32:10.150 Nicolas Sucari: what? Probably what? We’ll what we will need to work on a little bit harder this today and tomorrow is some pull parts on the evidence, Tab, and see how to hand that off to
45 00:32:10.330 ⇒ 00:32:11.550 Nicolas Sucari: Ben and Dan.
46 00:32:11.970 ⇒ 00:32:12.410 Uttam: Yeah.
47 00:32:12.410 ⇒ 00:32:18.540 Nicolas Sucari: Hopefully. They they like it, and they don’t have like any other stuff that we need to work on, so that
48 00:32:18.650 ⇒ 00:32:20.040 Nicolas Sucari: you don’t need to keep
49 00:32:20.130 ⇒ 00:32:22.620 Nicolas Sucari: working on evidence for this week.
50 00:32:22.720 ⇒ 00:32:30.409 Nicolas Sucari: And yeah, then it’s trying to work on new stuff. I think for them. Yeah, we need to understand what we
51 00:32:30.430 ⇒ 00:32:34.379 Nicolas Sucari: we need to work on. And yeah, I’ll start with something new.
52 00:32:35.560 ⇒ 00:32:42.679 Uttam: So maybe let’s start. Let’s start today. Maybe let’s just see what is coming up on on Stella side.
53 00:32:42.940 ⇒ 00:32:45.749 Uttam: Let’s just review that backlog, and that way we can
54 00:32:46.181 ⇒ 00:32:49.800 Uttam: get that out of the way. And then also, I think it’d be nice if
55 00:32:49.890 ⇒ 00:32:52.840 Uttam: maybe because this week is a little bit of an off week.
56 00:32:53.366 ⇒ 00:32:54.399 Uttam: I think.
57 00:32:55.228 ⇒ 00:32:59.791 Uttam: The probably the best thing we could do is if you have time to meet with Robert
58 00:33:00.430 ⇒ 00:33:18.439 Uttam: and just like chat through what’s coming up. We can spend some time today. We can talk about future planning based on some of the notes from his presentation, and then, ideally, you can chat with him that way. It still seems like, you know, there’s definitely work getting done, and let’s we could spend some time talking about
59 00:33:18.480 ⇒ 00:33:19.950 Uttam: future projects.
60 00:33:20.390 ⇒ 00:33:26.309 Uttam: And again, ideally, we’re our contract is only going until I think another month and a half.
61 00:33:26.460 ⇒ 00:33:28.539 Uttam: So ideally, we get an extension
62 00:33:28.610 ⇒ 00:33:30.450 Uttam: basically to.
63 00:33:30.770 ⇒ 00:33:32.480 Uttam: you know, continue working
64 00:33:32.914 ⇒ 00:33:39.269 Uttam: but we can talk to him about how to prepare some documents around the next. The next steps. There.
65 00:33:40.420 ⇒ 00:33:41.790 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, of course.
66 00:33:44.270 ⇒ 00:33:52.090 Uttam: Okay, shall we? Do? You want to pull up the backlog for Stella? And then we can also just take a look at anything. That’s
67 00:33:52.290 ⇒ 00:33:54.754 Uttam: that. Nick pushed through
68 00:33:55.460 ⇒ 00:33:56.589 Uttam: before he left.
69 00:34:01.300 ⇒ 00:34:02.840 Nicolas Sucari: Very good, right? Yes.
70 00:34:03.160 ⇒ 00:34:04.750 Nicolas Sucari: let me know if you can see it.
71 00:34:04.750 ⇒ 00:34:05.480 Uttam: Yes.
72 00:34:08.000 ⇒ 00:34:08.780 Nicolas Sucari: Perfect.
73 00:34:10.600 ⇒ 00:34:14.809 Nicolas Sucari: So I think Nick already started working on this one.
74 00:34:15.110 ⇒ 00:34:16.779 Nicolas Sucari: the one that needs some backlog.
75 00:34:17.620 ⇒ 00:34:19.679 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. He created the
76 00:34:20.520 ⇒ 00:34:23.139 Nicolas Sucari: up, of course, usage seller table.
77 00:34:25.870 ⇒ 00:34:28.209 Uttam: Let’s move that into in progress. Then.
78 00:34:28.219 ⇒ 00:34:28.549 Nicolas Sucari: Problem.
79 00:34:28.550 ⇒ 00:34:30.179 Uttam: And yeah.
80 00:34:32.650 ⇒ 00:34:35.530 Nicolas Sucari: But this one also has something.
81 00:34:46.170 ⇒ 00:34:47.659 Nicolas Sucari: Okay. Yeah.
82 00:34:51.330 ⇒ 00:34:53.260 Nicolas Sucari: no. I think this is okay. So.
83 00:34:53.260 ⇒ 00:34:55.330 Uttam: And then what about the Hubspot? One.
84 00:34:56.600 ⇒ 00:34:57.630 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, it’s this one.
85 00:34:58.210 ⇒ 00:34:59.489 Uttam: Oh, okay. Okay. Okay.
86 00:35:03.660 ⇒ 00:35:05.260 Nicolas Sucari: So I need ask this.
87 00:35:05.800 ⇒ 00:35:09.740 Nicolas Sucari: And he’s asking that the data has appears to be mixed.
88 00:35:09.990 ⇒ 00:35:11.690 Nicolas Sucari: We need to check that.
89 00:35:14.140 ⇒ 00:35:14.880 Uttam: Okay.
90 00:35:15.530 ⇒ 00:35:16.872 Uttam: So maybe let’s
91 00:35:17.590 ⇒ 00:35:27.629 Uttam: Let’s start a notion, Doc. Maybe we can take some notes that way. You can meet with him and probably clear up some of these things before Nick gets back. And then also, we can
92 00:35:28.090 ⇒ 00:35:29.760 Uttam: talk about next. Yeah.
93 00:35:35.690 ⇒ 00:35:39.149 Nicolas Sucari: And let me see. Okay, I’m going to Stella.
94 00:35:42.770 ⇒ 00:35:45.120 Nicolas Sucari: Or where do you want to create that notion, Doc?
95 00:35:45.790 ⇒ 00:35:47.510 Uttam: Yes, and and Stella is fine.
96 00:35:48.590 ⇒ 00:35:49.300 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
97 00:35:57.020 ⇒ 00:36:00.040 Nicolas Sucari: I’m sharing the link so that you can add notes to.
98 00:36:00.330 ⇒ 00:36:00.970 Uttam: Okay.
99 00:36:07.690 ⇒ 00:36:09.910 Nicolas Sucari: Send it through this chat.
100 00:36:10.620 ⇒ 00:36:11.410 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
101 00:36:14.030 ⇒ 00:36:15.939 Uttam: Just grabbing a coffee. One sec.
102 00:36:17.090 ⇒ 00:36:17.760 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
103 00:38:45.080 ⇒ 00:38:45.900 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
104 00:38:54.050 ⇒ 00:38:54.890 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
105 00:38:58.540 ⇒ 00:39:05.699 Uttam: Oh, yeah, let me just pull up the notion. And then, yeah, the the big 2 things is, yeah, let’s just get clarity on the Hubspot ticket
106 00:39:05.920 ⇒ 00:39:08.129 Uttam: and the other ticket that’s there. And then.
107 00:39:09.520 ⇒ 00:39:14.729 Uttam: in terms of upcoming stuff I want. I think he sent some notes in slack. I forgot
108 00:39:15.280 ⇒ 00:39:16.540 Uttam: where
109 00:39:17.510 ⇒ 00:39:18.610 Uttam: he sent
110 00:39:19.270 ⇒ 00:39:21.609 Uttam: information about how the presentation went.
111 00:39:22.670 ⇒ 00:39:23.370 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
112 00:39:23.370 ⇒ 00:39:24.310 Uttam: So
113 00:39:24.550 ⇒ 00:39:26.470 Uttam: the meeting with him I better check.
114 00:39:32.280 ⇒ 00:39:35.970 Nicolas Sucari: I can copy that into the notion I have here.
115 00:43:38.430 ⇒ 00:43:40.250 Uttam: What’s the name of the notion? Page.
116 00:43:44.620 ⇒ 00:43:46.339 Nicolas Sucari: Still note I
117 00:43:46.360 ⇒ 00:43:47.800 Nicolas Sucari: in in the
118 00:43:48.020 ⇒ 00:43:49.210 Nicolas Sucari: so I’m making notes.
119 00:43:49.210 ⇒ 00:43:49.849 Uttam: Oh, I see!
120 00:43:49.850 ⇒ 00:43:51.849 Nicolas Sucari: See you again in the land. Okay.
121 00:43:51.850 ⇒ 00:43:52.820 Uttam: Okay, yeah.
122 00:44:50.850 ⇒ 00:44:51.560 Uttam: great.
123 00:51:17.240 ⇒ 00:51:18.205 Uttam: Okay,
124 00:51:20.310 ⇒ 00:51:37.839 Uttam: So I added some stuff here for the upcoming opportunity. So the big thing, my takeaway is basically, I think Robert is just super busy, and for him to go get these requirements, I think, is gonna go take a while. So, however, these 2 are like
125 00:51:38.200 ⇒ 00:51:39.369 Uttam: this is like
126 00:51:39.570 ⇒ 00:51:40.770 Uttam: new
127 00:51:41.730 ⇒ 00:51:42.390 Uttam: and.
128 00:51:42.390 ⇒ 00:51:43.310 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. No.
129 00:51:43.500 ⇒ 00:51:50.679 Uttam: Meaning. If we are to get this deal done, we could probably add another 20 h or so of work.
130 00:51:51.253 ⇒ 00:51:56.760 Uttam: So really want to see whether this is possible. Basically, I want to.
131 00:51:56.800 ⇒ 00:52:08.239 Uttam: I would my suggestion would be to meet with Robert and just ask him a ton of questions. The document that we would look to produce is going to be very similar to that
132 00:52:10.300 ⇒ 00:52:13.119 Uttam: to the Google Doc, that we
133 00:52:13.410 ⇒ 00:52:15.330 Uttam: that we have previously
134 00:52:17.100 ⇒ 00:52:18.610 Uttam: which is this
135 00:52:18.870 ⇒ 00:52:22.469 Uttam: modeling? It’s not actually this, Doc.
136 00:52:22.470 ⇒ 00:52:25.890 Nicolas Sucari: Alright! I I have it here. I can share it with.
137 00:52:25.890 ⇒ 00:52:27.909 Uttam: Yeah. It’s the q 3 dot.
138 00:52:28.500 ⇒ 00:52:30.270 Nicolas Sucari: This one. Yeah.
139 00:52:31.010 ⇒ 00:52:32.710 Nicolas Sucari: he something like this, right
140 00:52:33.130 ⇒ 00:52:36.860 Nicolas Sucari: where we have, like the actual deliverable. And what is.
141 00:52:36.860 ⇒ 00:52:38.050 Uttam: Exactly.
142 00:52:38.310 ⇒ 00:52:41.629 Uttam: So I think this Doc is.
143 00:52:42.450 ⇒ 00:52:48.060 Uttam: I mean, I honestly think it’s okay. But the one thing is like one
144 00:52:48.580 ⇒ 00:52:52.169 Uttam: kind of like what we talked about like. I prefer a lot of this to be
145 00:52:52.850 ⇒ 00:52:56.454 Uttam: in notion like, especially the stuff around
146 00:52:57.140 ⇒ 00:52:59.289 Uttam: where the project is.
147 00:53:00.093 ⇒ 00:53:03.359 Uttam: But you know we’re getting better, I think ideally.
148 00:53:03.610 ⇒ 00:53:08.449 Uttam: the email we sent out at the end of the week includes something around these milestones
149 00:53:08.490 ⇒ 00:53:14.880 Uttam: moving forward, but also like this stuff for deliverable 3.
150 00:53:16.780 ⇒ 00:53:20.420 Uttam: that’s the stuff. I think that’s just like remaining right now.
151 00:53:20.630 ⇒ 00:53:28.529 Uttam: So I just, I don’t know when I look at this, Doc, I’m always like confused on what’s been done, what’s not been done? So
152 00:53:28.590 ⇒ 00:53:35.099 Uttam: this is what I what I think we should. I mean again. I I we want to be talking from the same.
153 00:53:36.130 ⇒ 00:53:36.849 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, cancel it.
154 00:53:36.850 ⇒ 00:53:45.500 Uttam: All understand what’s remaining. So there’s 1 thing that this is like what’s remaining on the existing projects basically want to create a similar Doc about
155 00:53:45.610 ⇒ 00:53:48.739 Uttam: the finance and the education piece.
156 00:53:49.050 ⇒ 00:53:53.899 Uttam: and then be able to hand that over to Robert so he can go sell it
157 00:53:53.970 ⇒ 00:53:58.919 Uttam: in this situation. I don’t want to rely on Robert to
158 00:53:58.990 ⇒ 00:54:01.199 Uttam: spearhead this because I think he’s just busy.
159 00:54:01.300 ⇒ 00:54:05.730 Uttam: Well, I know he’s super busy. So I wanna on our side, I would like to
160 00:54:05.920 ⇒ 00:54:08.800 Uttam: actually just put this together for him.
161 00:54:10.270 ⇒ 00:54:10.980 Uttam: Okay.
162 00:54:11.790 ⇒ 00:54:19.429 Uttam: And then, like one, confirm that that’s okay. And then 2. Let’s put it together for him get his approval. And then he can go pitch this
163 00:54:19.973 ⇒ 00:54:20.700 Uttam: I think
164 00:54:21.250 ⇒ 00:54:23.990 Uttam: that’s basically it. So I think the next steps
165 00:54:24.170 ⇒ 00:54:26.235 Uttam: I’m gonna just put some like
166 00:54:28.530 ⇒ 00:54:30.320 Uttam: I’m just gonna put some
167 00:54:30.420 ⇒ 00:54:32.140 Uttam: action items here.
168 00:54:36.210 ⇒ 00:54:37.960 Uttam: big thing is one
169 00:54:38.130 ⇒ 00:54:39.500 Uttam: confirm
170 00:54:41.090 ⇒ 00:54:45.250 Uttam: remaining deliverables for Hubspot
171 00:54:45.430 ⇒ 00:54:46.580 Uttam: as Fab
172 00:54:47.240 ⇒ 00:54:48.330 Uttam: Bella.
173 00:54:58.510 ⇒ 00:55:00.580 Uttam: We want to confirm
174 00:55:04.975 ⇒ 00:55:05.630 Uttam: towards
175 00:55:06.220 ⇒ 00:55:08.900 Uttam: getting requirements for
176 00:55:10.070 ⇒ 00:55:14.819 Uttam: learning department and finance department
177 00:55:19.480 ⇒ 00:55:20.700 Uttam: gather.
178 00:55:57.160 ⇒ 00:56:00.109 Uttam: So these are the things that it would be great to
179 00:56:03.570 ⇒ 00:56:04.090 Uttam: get
180 00:56:04.690 ⇒ 00:56:05.750 Uttam: Restola.
181 00:56:05.750 ⇒ 00:56:06.570 Nicolas Sucari: Perfect.
182 00:56:09.130 ⇒ 00:56:12.569 Uttam: So what do you think you think you can handle that, or what? Where are you nervous.
183 00:56:14.030 ⇒ 00:56:38.139 Nicolas Sucari: Oh, no, no, I think I can handle that. The only thing is I need to talk to Robert and see try to understand what of these Q. 3 milestones that he has here? We still need to work on, and to have like clear requirements on what is not done yet, so that we can keep keep pushing on it. What I think from Robert is that when he assembles these dogs
184 00:56:38.783 ⇒ 00:56:45.690 Nicolas Sucari: then, like they are not getting maintained throughout time. So probably they are getting
185 00:56:45.810 ⇒ 00:57:02.060 Nicolas Sucari: like old information and things change. And we don’t like update anything. So I’m gonna try to add this into notion, and have, like a more live version, and updated every week, and perfect like. The idea would be to like check every week that notion.
186 00:57:02.140 ⇒ 00:57:08.139 Nicolas Sucari: Talk with Robert to keep like the milestones updated every week.
187 00:57:08.640 ⇒ 00:57:09.075 Uttam: Okay.
188 00:57:09.710 ⇒ 00:57:11.339 Uttam: yeah. I mean, that would be
189 00:57:11.890 ⇒ 00:57:12.800 Uttam: amazing.
190 00:57:14.040 ⇒ 00:57:14.750 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
191 00:57:15.760 ⇒ 00:57:16.910 Uttam: Yeah, that’s perfect.
192 00:57:18.220 ⇒ 00:57:21.090 Uttam: The other thing is. So
193 00:57:21.600 ⇒ 00:57:26.069 Uttam: I’m kind of like a notion thing. So I’ve been kind of putting some of my tasks
194 00:57:26.290 ⇒ 00:57:28.320 Uttam: in these management tasks
195 00:57:29.798 ⇒ 00:57:33.629 Uttam: page like, I wonder if we should create
196 00:57:34.760 ⇒ 00:57:37.780 Uttam: like? I don’t know. I wonder if we should have.
197 00:57:37.940 ⇒ 00:57:41.809 Uttam: for example, let’s say the task that I just put into that, Doc.
198 00:57:43.710 ⇒ 00:57:44.349 Uttam: I wonder.
199 00:57:44.350 ⇒ 00:57:44.670 Nicolas Sucari: There!
200 00:57:44.670 ⇒ 00:57:46.550 Uttam: Should just get put into tasks.
201 00:57:48.000 ⇒ 00:57:49.030 Uttam: you know.
202 00:57:50.280 ⇒ 00:57:51.160 Nicolas Sucari: Wait, wait!
203 00:57:51.630 ⇒ 00:57:54.729 Nicolas Sucari: Lost you here. These like these action items.
204 00:57:55.550 ⇒ 00:57:58.899 Uttam: Yeah. But you know how we have that management tasks. Page.
205 00:57:58.900 ⇒ 00:58:00.440 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah.
206 00:58:01.000 ⇒ 00:58:01.420 Uttam: Like, do.
207 00:58:01.420 ⇒ 00:58:01.879 Nicolas Sucari: You want to.
208 00:58:01.880 ⇒ 00:58:03.749 Uttam: Should flow these into there.
209 00:58:05.140 ⇒ 00:58:06.060 Nicolas Sucari: Hmm!
210 00:58:06.740 ⇒ 00:58:07.719 Nicolas Sucari: And I’ll
211 00:58:09.860 ⇒ 00:58:19.950 Uttam: Because otherwise I’m worried that like in notion cause I have a bunch of pages like this where there’s just like tasks, but they never get linked. So what I’m thinking about doing is like
212 00:58:20.260 ⇒ 00:58:22.619 Uttam: basically having, like
213 00:58:22.880 ⇒ 00:58:25.709 Uttam: the database, the link database
214 00:58:26.960 ⇒ 00:58:29.560 Uttam: doing it for management
215 00:58:30.750 ⇒ 00:58:32.410 Uttam: management tasks
216 00:58:33.120 ⇒ 00:58:37.000 Uttam: and then like having it filter to
217 00:58:39.640 ⇒ 00:58:40.830 Uttam: Stella.
218 00:58:42.180 ⇒ 00:58:42.950 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
219 00:58:43.300 ⇒ 00:58:44.560 Uttam: And then.
220 00:58:46.540 ⇒ 00:58:47.610 Uttam: like
221 00:58:48.510 ⇒ 00:58:56.590 Uttam: again, this is because this is where I I’m really gonna keep using notion, basically for like these sorts of tasks. I wonder if, like these should get filtered into here.
222 00:58:56.890 ⇒ 00:58:57.750 Uttam: you know.
223 00:58:59.460 ⇒ 00:59:03.359 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, okay, I get it. But then management tasks.
224 00:59:03.370 ⇒ 00:59:07.420 Nicolas Sucari: you’re not like, okay, yeah. You have the project there.
225 00:59:08.180 ⇒ 00:59:12.319 Nicolas Sucari: Probably we don’t have the Stella project that that’s why you can’t filter it. I think.
226 00:59:12.800 ⇒ 00:59:17.290 Uttam: We do have a Stella project. Yeah, we do have a Stella project. These are just all archived.
227 00:59:17.810 ⇒ 00:59:18.750 Uttam: So.
228 00:59:18.750 ⇒ 00:59:19.110 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
229 00:59:19.110 ⇒ 00:59:25.409 Uttam: Like. What I can do is I can move some of these like, let’s move these into here. Let’s just try this, because I’m going to start to
230 00:59:25.780 ⇒ 00:59:28.060 Uttam: get my shit organized this week.
231 00:59:28.810 ⇒ 00:59:30.310 Nicolas Sucari: I can copy. Okay.
232 00:59:32.800 ⇒ 00:59:34.989 Nicolas Sucari: you already copied it or not.
233 00:59:36.133 ⇒ 00:59:39.140 Uttam: I just moved one so we can move the rest also.
234 00:59:42.110 ⇒ 00:59:47.340 Nicolas Sucari: And are you assigning the project already? Because I’m not seeing the filter down? Because probably.
235 00:59:47.340 ⇒ 00:59:48.270 Uttam: Oh, here! Here.
236 00:59:48.270 ⇒ 00:59:48.620 Nicolas Sucari: I played.
237 00:59:48.620 ⇒ 00:59:49.760 Uttam: Have a now have a now.
238 00:59:50.460 ⇒ 00:59:53.549 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You clicked on. Saved. Okay? Perfect.
239 00:59:56.190 ⇒ 00:59:57.555 Uttam: Cause that way.
240 01:00:01.060 ⇒ 01:00:09.160 Uttam: so so, Chris, here’s an example. Right? We have these tasks. These tasks are probably assigned with the milestone called plan out. Q. 4.
241 01:00:09.370 ⇒ 01:00:14.659 Uttam: Right? And then on the main Stella page, you can see all the tasks that we need to do.
242 01:00:15.380 ⇒ 01:00:19.650 Uttam: Yeah, we have the engineering tasks in Github. And we have these tasks here. And I think that’s like
243 01:00:20.160 ⇒ 01:00:21.390 Uttam: ideal.
244 01:00:23.060 ⇒ 01:00:27.079 Uttam: And we don’t have to use like, I mean, what I’m gonna do is put in
245 01:00:27.520 ⇒ 01:00:31.079 Uttam: a milestone field, but we don’t like that should already.
246 01:00:32.040 ⇒ 01:00:34.359 Uttam: We don’t have to use it, you know.
247 01:00:35.360 ⇒ 01:00:36.060 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
248 01:00:38.590 ⇒ 01:00:40.090 Nicolas Sucari: And you, you’re you say something.
249 01:00:40.090 ⇒ 01:00:42.730 Uttam: There’s also sub. There’s also subtasks.
250 01:00:43.320 ⇒ 01:00:45.579 Uttam: I’ve never really used the subtask.
251 01:00:48.790 ⇒ 01:00:50.749 Nicolas Sucari: So, okay, there, we have
252 01:00:52.380 ⇒ 01:00:53.110 Nicolas Sucari: right?
253 01:00:54.220 ⇒ 01:00:55.839 Nicolas Sucari: These are tasks
254 01:00:56.560 ⇒ 01:00:57.430 Nicolas Sucari: perfect.
255 01:01:05.340 ⇒ 01:01:11.129 Nicolas Sucari: Okay. The only thing is that the status for this table is kind of strange.
256 01:01:13.250 ⇒ 01:01:18.510 Uttam: Oh, yeah, the status is related to design. So we need to have probably a different status.
257 01:01:20.480 ⇒ 01:01:22.270 Nicolas Sucari: Hmm, okay.
258 01:01:22.960 ⇒ 01:01:27.380 Nicolas Sucari: okay, I’m gonna try to check and see how like, what’s best to.
259 01:01:27.520 ⇒ 01:01:30.760 Nicolas Sucari: And we can hide probably the archived ones right?
260 01:01:32.830 ⇒ 01:01:33.940 Uttam: Yeah.
261 01:01:35.520 ⇒ 01:01:37.479 Uttam: I wonder if I can.
262 01:01:38.580 ⇒ 01:01:39.210 Nicolas Sucari: There we go!
263 01:01:39.210 ⇒ 01:01:40.499 Uttam: I’m just gonna
264 01:01:42.070 ⇒ 01:01:42.970 Uttam: this one.
265 01:01:46.840 ⇒ 01:01:52.020 Nicolas Sucari: Don’t worry. I on on this study stuff because you’re using the management
266 01:01:52.390 ⇒ 01:01:56.449 Nicolas Sucari: bored with the training portion. The tasks.
267 01:01:57.200 ⇒ 01:02:01.639 Nicolas Sucari: Its status is okay. These are the the tasks for Jp. Right.
268 01:02:03.450 ⇒ 01:02:06.519 Uttam: Yeah. But we honestly probably need like
269 01:02:07.610 ⇒ 01:02:10.709 Uttam: we, I mean, there’s probably like, gonna be
270 01:02:11.780 ⇒ 01:02:18.599 Uttam: design status. And like, maybe another step like cause the status isn’t gonna be used for everybody, right? Like.
271 01:02:18.600 ⇒ 01:02:19.220 Nicolas Sucari: Bye.
272 01:02:19.630 ⇒ 01:02:24.049 Nicolas Sucari: let me let me change the actual column that we have the status to be this.
273 01:02:24.050 ⇒ 01:02:27.859 Uttam: I mean, but the thing is like, the thing is, you can still use the other.
274 01:02:28.530 ⇒ 01:02:32.840 Uttam: You can add other status fields, and we can leave the design ones.
275 01:02:33.770 ⇒ 01:02:37.460 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, that’s what I was gonna do like leave the one as a design status.
276 01:02:37.770 ⇒ 01:02:42.650 Nicolas Sucari: So now you should see on the status that you have their design status, and we are
277 01:02:42.900 ⇒ 01:02:44.280 Nicolas Sucari: wanna like
278 01:02:44.600 ⇒ 01:02:46.360 Nicolas Sucari: task status.
279 01:02:46.570 ⇒ 01:02:47.340 Nicolas Sucari: Yep.
280 01:02:50.710 ⇒ 01:02:55.490 Uttam: Or or what we can do is you can have one status field and you keep all the other ones.
281 01:02:57.200 ⇒ 01:02:58.060 Uttam: And
282 01:03:03.190 ⇒ 01:03:05.730 Uttam: you just add the in progress as green
283 01:03:07.580 ⇒ 01:03:10.180 Uttam: cause. What do we? What do we need? We need not started.
284 01:03:12.190 ⇒ 01:03:15.830 Nicolas Sucari: I already added, I’m in admin check now. This Taylor one
285 01:03:16.100 ⇒ 01:03:16.870 Nicolas Sucari: right.
286 01:03:18.470 ⇒ 01:03:21.480 Uttam: Cause I don’t wanna have 2 columns. I don’t wanna have 2 columns.
287 01:03:22.530 ⇒ 01:03:22.890 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
288 01:03:22.890 ⇒ 01:03:25.460 Uttam: Use one field. We’ll just have multiple options. There.
289 01:03:26.460 ⇒ 01:03:30.650 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, okay, so let’s keep this charge as we as it was before.
290 01:03:31.240 ⇒ 01:03:31.949 Uttam: So we have block.
291 01:03:31.950 ⇒ 01:03:32.700 Nicolas Sucari: And we can.
292 01:03:32.700 ⇒ 01:03:36.409 Uttam: Design, review, web, flow, building, web flow review.
293 01:03:36.990 ⇒ 01:03:38.662 Uttam: Maybe we wanna add
294 01:03:39.670 ⇒ 01:03:41.030 Nicolas Sucari: Progress. Okay.
295 01:03:41.030 ⇒ 01:03:43.219 Uttam: Yeah, just add in progress. And then
296 01:03:44.130 ⇒ 01:03:47.730 Uttam: we can think about. So cause I’m gonna start using this
297 01:03:48.020 ⇒ 01:03:51.729 Uttam: management tasks as like my homepage, basically, because
298 01:03:52.290 ⇒ 01:03:55.579 Uttam: now that we have the engineers kind of figured out in Github
299 01:03:56.480 ⇒ 01:04:01.750 Uttam: like this will be kind of for me where I look every day and like what to do next. Basically.
300 01:04:04.650 ⇒ 01:04:05.709 Nicolas Sucari: I just hold them.
301 01:04:05.950 ⇒ 01:04:07.420 Nicolas Sucari: These should be.
302 01:04:07.470 ⇒ 01:04:10.430 Nicolas Sucari: I added, in progress and in review. So now we have.
303 01:04:10.430 ⇒ 01:04:10.770 Uttam: Okay.
304 01:04:10.770 ⇒ 01:04:12.879 Nicolas Sucari: And depending on on the color.
305 01:04:13.050 ⇒ 01:04:14.800 Nicolas Sucari: What is workflow building
306 01:04:15.340 ⇒ 01:04:16.320 Nicolas Sucari: status.
307 01:04:16.670 ⇒ 01:04:21.630 Uttam: Oh, that’s like that’s like the fact that he’s he’s working on it in web flow.
308 01:04:23.250 ⇒ 01:04:24.040 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
309 01:04:24.290 ⇒ 01:04:25.130 Nicolas Sucari: Sure.
310 01:04:25.130 ⇒ 01:04:25.830 Uttam: Then we can change.
311 01:04:25.830 ⇒ 01:04:26.710 Nicolas Sucari: Heard that one.
312 01:04:27.330 ⇒ 01:04:31.640 Uttam: Well, but then, I, the thing is like all these are in progress.
313 01:04:33.000 ⇒ 01:04:33.969 Nicolas Sucari: Okay. Okay.
314 01:04:33.970 ⇒ 01:04:37.090 Uttam: So we I mean, we can add we can add another one that’s called.
315 01:04:38.170 ⇒ 01:04:43.389 Nicolas Sucari: Oh, no, that’s fine, that’s fine. We can do like this. Sorry I’m gonna change the color. So.
316 01:04:45.400 ⇒ 01:04:46.200 Uttam: Yeah.
317 01:04:47.820 ⇒ 01:04:51.609 Nicolas Sucari: Let me show you this my screen, can you? And I’ll
318 01:04:54.010 ⇒ 01:04:57.109 Nicolas Sucari: go with that one. Okay, here are you? Seeing this.
319 01:04:57.460 ⇒ 01:04:58.290 Uttam: Yes.
320 01:04:59.080 ⇒ 01:05:14.759 Nicolas Sucari: Okay. So now we have, like in the status, I added, like 2 fields, one in pro, one that says in progress in general, I know that this is like all in progress, and I added one in in review, and depending on the color it means like in which state
321 01:05:15.114 ⇒ 01:05:32.110 Nicolas Sucari: each task is so we have, like gray is not started, and we only have like one field there. It’s it’s not like so difficult to understand. Then we have block. That’s red. That’s okay. Block can be blocked in design, blocked in development, blocking workflow or anything
322 01:05:32.453 ⇒ 01:05:56.509 Nicolas Sucari: and then the in progress we have in progress for tasks that are like data and data engineering tasks. Then in design, those those are the ones for Jp, that he’s working on figma and workflow building when he’s creating it on a workflow. And then I added the review once, and it’s the same just. But it just depends on which type of task, right? So there are.
323 01:05:56.510 ⇒ 01:05:57.280 Uttam: Like 3.
324 01:05:57.280 ⇒ 01:06:01.239 Nicolas Sucari: Yellow ones that’s in review. And then we have Dan and Archive. I think that’s okay.
325 01:06:01.240 ⇒ 01:06:02.710 Uttam: Okay. Okay.
326 01:06:02.900 ⇒ 01:06:05.440 Nicolas Sucari: So we we can use the same status
327 01:06:05.610 ⇒ 01:06:11.620 Nicolas Sucari: for the same status column for all tasks. But then we choose which type of
328 01:06:11.880 ⇒ 01:06:19.250 Nicolas Sucari: in which step of the way depending on. If it is a data, yeah, modeling stuff or design or workflow.
329 01:06:20.090 ⇒ 01:06:21.659 Uttam: Okay, okay, perfect.
330 01:06:23.340 ⇒ 01:06:23.970 Nicolas Sucari: Great.
331 01:06:26.300 ⇒ 01:06:29.410 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, I’m gonna assign this to me.
332 01:06:40.620 ⇒ 01:06:45.849 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, I am. Gonna assign this to you. But I need to discuss with Robert on these ones.
333 01:06:48.070 ⇒ 01:06:50.440 Nicolas Sucari: Probably these Meta people. Right? Yes.
334 01:06:50.744 ⇒ 01:06:51.960 Uttam: No, no, no, Robert.
335 01:06:52.150 ⇒ 01:06:54.169 Uttam: it’s just under Robert that’s JP.
336 01:06:55.010 ⇒ 01:06:56.210 Nicolas Sucari: Oh, okay. Yeah.
337 01:06:56.910 ⇒ 01:07:00.479 Uttam: I’ll ask. I’m gonna ask Jp. To change his name on there. So it’s clear.
338 01:07:15.410 ⇒ 01:07:15.960 Nicolas Sucari: Great.
339 01:07:31.100 ⇒ 01:07:32.000 Nicolas Sucari: perfect.
340 01:07:33.890 ⇒ 01:07:36.849 Nicolas Sucari: Okay. So this one, you need to.
341 01:07:42.584 ⇒ 01:07:44.079 Uttam: Yeah, I’m just gonna
342 01:07:44.670 ⇒ 01:07:46.550 Uttam: try to change his view.
343 01:07:47.720 ⇒ 01:07:49.400 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, don’t worry. I can hide.
344 01:07:58.220 ⇒ 01:08:00.159 Nicolas Sucari: There we go, hide empty groups.
345 01:08:01.380 ⇒ 01:08:02.160 Nicolas Sucari: Yes.
346 01:08:02.160 ⇒ 01:08:07.023 Uttam: Yeah, I guess I don’t. We don’t want him to see the other groups, so maybe we should just
347 01:08:08.080 ⇒ 01:08:09.510 Nicolas Sucari: I mean.
348 01:08:09.840 ⇒ 01:08:12.189 Nicolas Sucari: if if someone that has like
349 01:08:13.407 ⇒ 01:08:15.500 Nicolas Sucari: that calculated this.
350 01:08:16.439 ⇒ 01:08:17.159 Uttam: Yeah.
351 01:08:17.850 ⇒ 01:08:18.600 Nicolas Sucari: I mean he broke.
352 01:08:18.609 ⇒ 01:08:23.439 Uttam: He. I only want him to have access to the Stella project and not see the other ones.
353 01:08:24.790 ⇒ 01:08:29.170 Nicolas Sucari: I think what we need to do there is okay. Let me see if we can do that.
354 01:08:29.590 ⇒ 01:08:30.140 Nicolas Sucari: We need to.
355 01:08:30.149 ⇒ 01:08:32.349 Uttam: He may not be able to see the other ones.
356 01:08:33.729 ⇒ 01:08:34.969 Nicolas Sucari: Let me check here.
357 01:08:37.459 ⇒ 01:08:38.589 Nicolas Sucari: So if I
358 01:08:41.049 ⇒ 01:08:46.779 Nicolas Sucari: okay, probably we need to send. Invite to this page where we have like these tasks right?
359 01:08:47.209 ⇒ 01:08:50.899 Nicolas Sucari: And not to like the management tasks. Page.
360 01:08:51.009 ⇒ 01:08:54.409 Nicolas Sucari: If we do that. Probably he could see only Stella.
361 01:08:55.580 ⇒ 01:08:56.035 Uttam: Okay.
362 01:08:57.370 ⇒ 01:08:58.000 Nicolas Sucari: Let me try.
363 01:08:58.000 ⇒ 01:09:02.450 Uttam: You can ask him to just to see. Yeah. Or maybe you can ask him to see how it looks on his end.
364 01:09:02.870 ⇒ 01:09:06.640 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, don’t worry. I’m I’m gonna grab some time with him and try to go with
365 01:09:06.950 ⇒ 01:09:08.580 Nicolas Sucari: on this one. Okay.
366 01:09:08.710 ⇒ 01:09:09.880 Uttam: Okay, okay.
367 01:09:09.920 ⇒ 01:09:13.870 Uttam: so yeah, I mean, ideally, again, we have clients. We have projects. So we have.
368 01:09:14.750 ⇒ 01:09:20.160 Uttam: I guess the projects are the same as the clients. Basically, right?
369 01:09:21.490 ⇒ 01:09:22.310 Uttam: Yeah.
370 01:09:23.130 ⇒ 01:09:25.790 Uttam: so we have clients. We have projects.
371 01:09:26.020 ⇒ 01:09:28.309 Uttam: Those are the same thing. I guess.
372 01:09:28.310 ⇒ 01:09:29.170 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
373 01:09:29.170 ⇒ 01:09:31.370 Uttam: Well, projects are more of like.
374 01:09:32.359 ⇒ 01:09:37.670 Uttam: I guess I’m thinking of, like we have clients. We have projects within them that’s like Stella. Q. 3
375 01:09:37.720 ⇒ 01:09:40.795 Uttam: right like. And then we also have, like
376 01:09:41.950 ⇒ 01:09:43.699 Uttam: we have milestones.
377 01:09:45.608 ⇒ 01:09:49.569 Uttam: We have then the tasks, you know, and then we have the Github issues so.
378 01:09:53.279 ⇒ 01:09:56.489 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. What I’m trying to do is
379 01:09:57.649 ⇒ 01:10:00.059 Nicolas Sucari: I don’t know where I can
380 01:10:03.389 ⇒ 01:10:05.479 Nicolas Sucari: work on these internally.
381 01:10:10.379 ⇒ 01:10:12.899 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, don’t worry. Let’s try to do this.
382 01:10:13.399 ⇒ 01:10:17.019 Nicolas Sucari: Oh, you’re saying I’m gonna add some stuff here. But just
383 01:10:18.889 ⇒ 01:10:20.949 Nicolas Sucari: so we have clients right.
384 01:10:24.620 ⇒ 01:10:25.390 Uttam: Yes.
385 01:10:27.140 ⇒ 01:10:28.330 Uttam: clients and clients.
386 01:10:28.330 ⇒ 01:10:28.710 Nicolas Sucari: Planes.
387 01:10:28.710 ⇒ 01:10:30.090 Uttam: And about projects.
388 01:10:30.290 ⇒ 01:10:32.109 Uttam: Typically it’s 1 to one.
389 01:10:33.050 ⇒ 01:10:33.650 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
390 01:10:35.130 ⇒ 01:10:37.340 Nicolas Sucari: we have clients, we have projects.
391 01:10:38.630 ⇒ 01:10:40.069 Nicolas Sucari: Then we have
392 01:10:42.650 ⇒ 01:10:45.699 Nicolas Sucari: each project. Have some milestones, right?
393 01:10:48.500 ⇒ 01:10:50.700 Nicolas Sucari: So probably this should be like this.
394 01:10:56.650 ⇒ 01:10:57.410 Nicolas Sucari: right?
395 01:10:58.570 ⇒ 01:10:59.340 Uttam: Yes.
396 01:11:01.880 ⇒ 01:11:03.540 Nicolas Sucari: And if we have another client.
397 01:11:04.200 ⇒ 01:11:07.620 Uttam: And then there’s Github issues. And then there’s management tasks. Right?
398 01:11:09.360 ⇒ 01:11:10.020 Uttam: Okay?
399 01:11:30.310 ⇒ 01:11:33.310 Nicolas Sucari: And these 2 can be under each milestone.
400 01:11:36.480 ⇒ 01:11:37.190 Nicolas Sucari: Perfect.
401 01:11:58.240 ⇒ 01:12:00.180 Nicolas Sucari: That’s fine. You can do like this.
402 01:12:26.070 ⇒ 01:12:32.679 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, and then what I’m trying to do here is okay. If we have like this structure.
403 01:12:34.385 ⇒ 01:12:35.090 Nicolas Sucari: Then.
404 01:12:40.706 ⇒ 01:12:44.439 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, client project milestones. Okay? But each client
405 01:12:44.580 ⇒ 01:12:46.449 Nicolas Sucari: we’ll have a kind of.
406 01:12:55.030 ⇒ 01:13:00.189 Uttam: It’s the thing is like, we have existing contracts. So we’re always gonna have like clients who are on contract.
407 01:13:00.260 ⇒ 01:13:02.230 Uttam: And then the goal is going to be
408 01:13:02.420 ⇒ 01:13:04.089 Uttam: like talking about
409 01:13:04.170 ⇒ 01:13:10.170 Uttam: the next project, right? So like, for example, right now, we’re in full parts, is not a great example, because
410 01:13:10.360 ⇒ 01:13:19.718 Uttam: well, I just don’t think they’re a good example for anything, but we will get them there, I think, if we just take Stella as the best example like for Stella.
411 01:13:20.350 ⇒ 01:13:23.530 Uttam: ideally, we have, like our Q 3 project.
412 01:13:23.750 ⇒ 01:13:31.040 Uttam: And then we have, like our our, we have our Q 4 project. The Q 4 project is basically being planned right now.
413 01:13:31.270 ⇒ 01:13:34.560 Uttam: So that’s all the work that you know we have to do.
414 01:13:34.650 ⇒ 01:13:38.800 Uttam: That has nothing to do with engineering right? So that’s why, we kind of want to pack those.
415 01:13:41.160 ⇒ 01:13:41.980 Nicolas Sucari: That’s fine.
416 01:13:42.560 ⇒ 01:13:48.060 Nicolas Sucari: What I’m trying to understand is okay. We have Github issues. And we have, like each client’s notion page.
417 01:13:48.170 ⇒ 01:13:50.279 Nicolas Sucari: So we should like try to
418 01:13:51.290 ⇒ 01:13:52.780 Nicolas Sucari: refer those
419 01:13:54.490 ⇒ 01:13:55.380 Nicolas Sucari: plenty.
420 01:13:57.420 ⇒ 01:14:02.320 Nicolas Sucari: Each notion page has needs to have, like each of these different stuff there, right.
421 01:14:02.320 ⇒ 01:14:03.065 Uttam: Yes.
422 01:14:04.540 ⇒ 01:14:07.989 Nicolas Sucari: And each notion page, each notion page is
423 01:14:08.030 ⇒ 01:14:13.200 Nicolas Sucari: for like individual for each client. But all clients live under.
424 01:14:15.622 ⇒ 01:14:18.280 Nicolas Sucari: Let’s do like you know this
425 01:14:18.880 ⇒ 01:14:22.540 Nicolas Sucari: rainforge management tasks.
426 01:14:24.530 ⇒ 01:14:26.300 Nicolas Sucari: page right
427 01:14:27.945 ⇒ 01:14:29.270 Nicolas Sucari: clients.
428 01:14:29.500 ⇒ 01:14:30.410 Nicolas Sucari: peach.
429 01:14:31.270 ⇒ 01:14:31.800 Uttam: Yeah.
430 01:14:31.800 ⇒ 01:14:37.509 Nicolas Sucari: Each of these ones they live in each client. No, each of these ones live in each client
431 01:14:39.220 ⇒ 01:14:40.250 Nicolas Sucari: that’s fine
432 01:14:41.060 ⇒ 01:14:42.000 Nicolas Sucari: like this.
433 01:14:43.710 ⇒ 01:14:47.560 Nicolas Sucari: We have each of the homepage that live in each client page, but.
434 01:14:47.860 ⇒ 01:14:51.809 Nicolas Sucari: like everything else, they live in management tasks.
435 01:14:54.960 ⇒ 01:14:56.420 Nicolas Sucari: Late, right?
436 01:14:56.820 ⇒ 01:14:57.630 Nicolas Sucari: Something like this.
437 01:14:57.630 ⇒ 01:14:59.090 Uttam: Correct, correct.
438 01:15:09.900 ⇒ 01:15:11.770 Nicolas Sucari: Perfect. Okay, yeah.
439 01:15:11.910 ⇒ 01:15:14.719 Nicolas Sucari: what are you working on this setup for
440 01:15:15.360 ⇒ 01:15:17.819 Nicolas Sucari: in ocean? But that’s okay. Okay.
441 01:15:18.400 ⇒ 01:15:26.949 Nicolas Sucari: like this should be our structure. And we should try to get this, each notion page for each client the as pretty as possible. With this information.
442 01:15:27.410 ⇒ 01:15:29.519 Uttam: Yeah, I agree, I agree, yeah.
443 01:15:30.590 ⇒ 01:15:35.030 Nicolas Sucari: Perfect. And then, if we have like a new project, we can like copy, paste this
444 01:15:35.050 ⇒ 01:15:41.819 Nicolas Sucari: and use it under another client, and keep adding like each different, each, each new, each new thing.
445 01:15:42.360 ⇒ 01:15:45.440 Nicolas Sucari: What I’m trying to understand is maybe the milestones.
446 01:15:45.870 ⇒ 01:15:49.480 Nicolas Sucari: Sometimes the milestones go above the project right.
447 01:15:52.800 ⇒ 01:15:54.330 Uttam: no right cause.
448 01:15:54.340 ⇒ 01:15:58.869 Uttam: The project you can consider just like Stella, Q. 4. Stella. Q. 3.
449 01:16:00.040 ⇒ 01:16:00.750 Nicolas Sucari: Okay. So the.
450 01:16:00.750 ⇒ 01:16:05.109 Uttam: My milestones right now, for Q, 4 are just going to be the planning
451 01:16:06.260 ⇒ 01:16:11.490 Uttam: as you plan. We’re gonna get the engineering. So then there’s there’s different types, right? There’s like Pm milestones.
452 01:16:11.580 ⇒ 01:16:13.670 Uttam: which may be a contract renewal.
453 01:16:14.610 ⇒ 01:16:15.120 Nicolas Sucari: Okay. Okay.
454 01:16:15.120 ⇒ 01:16:18.350 Uttam: With planning that. And then there’s there’s gonna be the engineering ones.
455 01:16:19.140 ⇒ 01:16:26.519 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, so that’s for Stella. But I was thinking about pool parts, for example. And let’s say a project is like opening the new warehouse right.
456 01:16:27.640 ⇒ 01:16:31.899 Nicolas Sucari: Like the milestone, the milestone there is kind of like reducing shipping costs.
457 01:16:33.100 ⇒ 01:16:34.500 Uttam: Correct. Yeah.
458 01:16:34.680 ⇒ 01:16:42.249 Nicolas Sucari: So in that case, probably, like the milestone, is above the project, and you can have, like more projects that help achieve that milestone.
459 01:16:42.520 ⇒ 01:16:49.489 Uttam: But so that’s so in that sense, I I think about, I think about the project. I think about the project as like
460 01:16:49.730 ⇒ 01:17:00.120 Uttam: at minimum. The project is just an ongoing client at maximum. If we’re if we have like we should. I mean, we could think about the rules. But it’s like. If there are different stakeholders, if we have, like certain things.
461 01:17:00.120 ⇒ 01:17:01.150 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, okay.
462 01:17:01.690 ⇒ 01:17:13.660 Uttam: It, doesn’t I? I just it doesn’t have to exist like we don’t need to have projects. For example, for Stella, I think we do, have we? We have almost like Q. 3 and Q. 4. I think.
463 01:17:13.660 ⇒ 01:17:14.060 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
464 01:17:14.060 ⇒ 01:17:22.479 Uttam: We could break. But the the milestones instead are like where I want to do each of the individual things. Projects can just be the client, you know.
465 01:17:22.520 ⇒ 01:17:25.310 Uttam: just an extra layer if we need, if we need it.
466 01:17:26.600 ⇒ 01:17:33.009 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, yeah. So for Stella, instead of projects, it should be like Q. Quarter goals.
467 01:17:34.060 ⇒ 01:17:35.440 Nicolas Sucari: Guys doing this.
468 01:17:38.000 ⇒ 01:17:43.170 Nicolas Sucari: and also right? So you have quarter goals, and then you have milestones right
469 01:17:43.270 ⇒ 01:17:45.170 Nicolas Sucari: under each quarter, obviously
470 01:17:45.546 ⇒ 01:17:54.129 Nicolas Sucari: and for pool parts. Yes, it can be like something different. But yeah, also, we can and decide what to add here a smile. So and that’s okay.
471 01:17:54.300 ⇒ 01:17:55.350 Nicolas Sucari: perfect.
472 01:17:56.800 ⇒ 01:17:57.620 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
473 01:17:58.780 ⇒ 01:18:01.630 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, I like this structure perfect.
474 01:18:01.850 ⇒ 01:18:03.060 Nicolas Sucari: Let’s go. That’s an option.
475 01:18:06.240 ⇒ 01:18:08.230 Nicolas Sucari: Okay? So we have Stella here.
476 01:18:08.280 ⇒ 01:18:13.550 Nicolas Sucari: That’s fine. I’m gonna add Robert into this page so that he can see what we are
477 01:18:13.660 ⇒ 01:18:21.139 Nicolas Sucari: trying to work on, and this is kind of management tasks for Stella. But then we should add in our
478 01:18:22.620 ⇒ 01:18:25.519 Nicolas Sucari: Probably we can link here
479 01:18:26.220 ⇒ 01:18:27.660 Nicolas Sucari: client homepage.
480 01:18:39.720 ⇒ 01:18:42.350 Nicolas Sucari: We can go to stellars first, st
481 01:18:42.510 ⇒ 01:18:44.179 Nicolas Sucari: and we can have here.
482 01:18:45.970 ⇒ 01:18:48.890 Nicolas Sucari: We have the management tasks, and we can add
483 01:18:49.390 ⇒ 01:18:51.120 Nicolas Sucari: the github issues right.
484 01:18:53.765 ⇒ 01:18:58.790 Uttam: Yes, yes, but actually we’ll do. We’ll do that in like engineering tasks. I think.
485 01:19:00.190 ⇒ 01:19:00.930 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
486 01:19:02.780 ⇒ 01:19:05.460 Nicolas Sucari: but I need to link.
487 01:19:08.640 ⇒ 01:19:11.780 Nicolas Sucari: How can I page this and database? Probably with these
488 01:19:14.030 ⇒ 01:19:15.120 Nicolas Sucari: issues?
489 01:19:17.560 ⇒ 01:19:23.600 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, I’m gonna try to see how to add it here to see all of the open issues and that stuff. But that’s okay.
490 01:19:23.950 ⇒ 01:19:24.600 Nicolas Sucari: So we got.
491 01:19:24.600 ⇒ 01:19:29.410 Uttam: Yeah, the engineering stuff I’m like, I again like, if everything is contained within
492 01:19:30.200 ⇒ 01:19:31.340 Uttam: Github
493 01:19:31.380 ⇒ 01:19:35.300 Uttam: finally, use Github. The milestones will be where we bridge. The gap
494 01:19:35.560 ⇒ 01:19:45.830 Uttam: right? The milestone is the common relation between Github, but to the milestones are are also the last point at which we have project my management milestones.
495 01:19:45.960 ⇒ 01:19:49.820 Uttam: Right? We’ll also have Pm tasks. All of that is tracked here.
496 01:19:49.850 ⇒ 01:19:54.439 Uttam: and then we also have, like engineering tasks, engineering milestones.
497 01:19:54.560 ⇒ 01:20:06.879 Uttam: They all roll up into the project successful. That’s why I don’t. I? I don’t want to think about the stuff we do on the Pm. Side as any different than the engineering stuff, because it’s still stuff our company does for a client.
498 01:20:06.920 ⇒ 01:20:25.569 Uttam: but for the client, of course they we also want to share that like, Hey, there is like. For, for example, we can have like things that happen every week, which is like sending emails out all these recurring things. But also where? Where does planning for next quarter fall right? That’s a Pm. Task. And so that’s kind of how I want to tackle, because
499 01:20:25.580 ⇒ 01:20:36.979 Uttam: again, we’ll see if, like for one client. What are all the things we need to do? And then on the business side for me, it helps me understand how much time is going into everything. And then understanding
500 01:20:37.110 ⇒ 01:20:38.170 Uttam: cool like.
501 01:20:38.200 ⇒ 01:20:55.210 Uttam: for example, pool parts maybe have a lot more management tasks. And these how do I think about like what works getting done. So this tracks, this almost tracks everything. There’s still some stuff on my side, like on the operations that I’m also gonna start tracking. But in that sense Brainforge will be the client for that work.
502 01:20:55.310 ⇒ 01:20:56.599 Uttam: You see what I mean.
503 01:20:56.630 ⇒ 01:21:09.250 Uttam: Like, we may use Jp. For some client work. We may do it for some stuff. Internally, I want to consider ours brainforce a client as well, because we’re asking for a lot of stuff. So that’s kind of how we’ll think about it.
504 01:21:10.150 ⇒ 01:21:12.080 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, okay, that’s perfect.
505 01:21:12.450 ⇒ 01:21:18.089 Uttam: So on the Stella side. How do you feel? If you want to take a look at that, Doc? Again, Mike, are we okay with that stuff?
506 01:21:19.430 ⇒ 01:21:22.239 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I think we are okay. I mean, I can go
507 01:21:22.850 ⇒ 01:21:25.150 Nicolas Sucari: back to this teller page here.
508 01:21:26.400 ⇒ 01:21:28.619 Nicolas Sucari: And we have like these tasks
509 01:21:29.570 ⇒ 01:21:30.640 Nicolas Sucari: created.
510 01:21:31.174 ⇒ 01:21:40.309 Nicolas Sucari: And yeah, I can go and talk to Robert and try to get those deadlines and confirm what is the new requirements for the learning staff on the finance staff.
511 01:21:40.612 ⇒ 01:22:03.120 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I I need to meet with Robert to tackle all of these ones. In terms of what are the tasks that we are working on. We have the has put one. We need to finish up and see about the stellar data that we were working on with Nick, if that’s okay, or if Robert needs something else. And yes, I think once we met with Robert and discuss a little bit on.
512 01:22:03.130 ⇒ 01:22:08.969 Nicolas Sucari: how’s the status of those tasks. We will know if we need to work on something this week, or if we’re okay.
513 01:22:09.750 ⇒ 01:22:13.939 Uttam: Okay, yeah. My question for you at the end of that is gonna be like
514 01:22:14.050 ⇒ 01:22:15.800 Uttam: scale of one to 10, like.
515 01:22:16.170 ⇒ 01:22:17.740 Uttam: how comfortable are you
516 01:22:17.830 ⇒ 01:22:25.300 Uttam: on the whole stellar project right? I think, before we were. Still, we’re still getting through a couple of like. Oh, this thing is a little bit confusing.
517 01:22:25.340 ⇒ 01:22:28.309 Uttam: But I think now that we have a little bit of a gap period.
518 01:22:28.730 ⇒ 01:22:34.410 Uttam: just like, see if you can absorb yourself also, now that I can pull parts. We have a good idea of what’s going on.
519 01:22:35.165 ⇒ 01:22:35.760 Uttam: Yeah.
520 01:22:37.310 ⇒ 01:22:38.689 Uttam: So let’s do that.
521 01:22:39.430 ⇒ 01:22:39.970 Uttam: Yeah.
522 01:22:39.970 ⇒ 01:22:46.009 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, okay, yeah. I think I I will. I’ll try to get some time with Robert. Ask him some.
523 01:22:46.010 ⇒ 01:22:49.279 Uttam: He’ll enjoy that, too, because I I basically told him that like, Hey.
524 01:22:49.290 ⇒ 01:22:50.970 Uttam: Nico is here.
525 01:22:52.550 ⇒ 01:22:55.779 Uttam: To be your counterpart within our organization. But
526 01:22:55.920 ⇒ 01:22:56.800 Uttam: Rob, the thing about.
527 01:22:56.800 ⇒ 01:22:57.190 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
528 01:22:57.190 ⇒ 01:23:01.349 Uttam: There’s robbers like me, where he’s running his business, and.
529 01:23:01.350 ⇒ 01:23:02.050 Nicolas Sucari: I know.
530 01:23:02.050 ⇒ 01:23:05.533 Uttam: I. He’s a little bit behind us in the fact that
531 01:23:05.920 ⇒ 01:23:08.510 Uttam: I just don’t. He does. He’s just now hiring people.
532 01:23:09.840 ⇒ 01:23:14.599 Uttam: So his life is gonna get fucked up for the next 2 months.
533 01:23:15.950 ⇒ 01:23:19.350 Uttam: So I want us to get ahead of it and
534 01:23:19.530 ⇒ 01:23:26.330 Uttam: put in front of him the requirements that he needs to go pitch, and then for him to go sell it and then get us more money like.
535 01:23:26.400 ⇒ 01:23:33.409 Uttam: Wait, it’s just not. I just know what’s about, because he’s hiring 2 new analysts like a bunch of stuff is changing in his business.
536 01:23:33.746 ⇒ 01:23:41.483 Uttam: This isn’t gonna happen unless we push. But the nice thing is like we have our shit figured out. So yeah, we should be able to do that.
537 01:23:42.450 ⇒ 01:23:57.109 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. And also I I already, when, like a couple of weeks ago, we talked with with him. And I I say that I was like available to help him on anything gathering requirements with the client and that stuff, but he hasn’t like asked me anything, or to help him on.
538 01:23:57.110 ⇒ 01:23:58.179 Uttam: And I think it’s good.
539 01:23:58.180 ⇒ 01:23:59.109 Nicolas Sucari: It’s gonna basically.
540 01:23:59.110 ⇒ 01:24:07.409 Uttam: Be me meaning because he’s probably just forgot. So that’s the thing is like, everything is like we have to follow, though one thing I learned is just follow up
541 01:24:07.460 ⇒ 01:24:24.460 Uttam: on every single thing all as much as possible, like. So that’s the thing. And and the you know, it’s kind of what I said is like, even with talking to Kim and Chuck last week. It’s just it’s just good to get facetime, just good to see how things are going like it can never hurt
542 01:24:24.974 ⇒ 01:24:28.670 Uttam: and for the most part I think there’s always things that you’re like.
543 01:24:28.760 ⇒ 01:24:33.236 Uttam: We didn’t come in this meeting with something to talk about, and we left with like a ton of things. So
544 01:24:33.450 ⇒ 01:24:33.990 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
545 01:24:33.990 ⇒ 01:24:35.029 Uttam: Yeah, it’s perfect.
546 01:24:36.020 ⇒ 01:24:37.139 Nicolas Sucari: Yep. Okay.
547 01:24:39.720 ⇒ 01:24:40.160 Nicolas Sucari: Let’s talk.
548 01:24:40.160 ⇒ 01:24:42.830 Uttam: About? Should we talk about bullpart stuff.
549 01:24:43.490 ⇒ 01:24:50.721 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, we have the other meeting now, the Ae planning session. If you want to go to that one so that Ryan can join. Probably.
550 01:24:51.150 ⇒ 01:25:01.470 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, Nick is not gonna join, but probably Ryan, we can spend some time with him trying to figure out what is the task that we need him to be working on this week, and then we can keep working on this. If you want. Okay.
551 01:25:01.660 ⇒ 01:25:02.570 Uttam: Okay. Okay.
552 01:25:03.890 ⇒ 01:25:06.320 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, thank you. Let’s jump to that one.
