10 00:00:56.540 ⇒ 00:01:01.240 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, I generally track with 8 o’clock, because my mind is said, yeah, 8 o’clock, we have stand-up.
11 00:01:01.360 ⇒ 00:01:04.210 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, Monday took me by a surprise.
12 00:01:04.959 ⇒ 00:01:06.159 Awaish Kumar: Mmm…
13 00:01:19.399 ⇒ 00:01:20.239 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
14 00:01:34.610 ⇒ 00:01:35.250 Mustafa Raja: Hey.
15 00:01:36.150 ⇒ 00:01:37.289 Awaish Kumar: Hello, everyone.
16 00:01:38.300 ⇒ 00:01:38.930 Mustafa Raja: Hmm.
17 00:01:39.820 ⇒ 00:01:44.629 Ashwini Sharma: So, in this stand-up, you’re going to cover all the clients for which you are SL?
18 00:01:45.010 ⇒ 00:01:45.740 Ashwini Sharma: Sorry.
19 00:01:46.170 ⇒ 00:01:48.789 Awaish Kumar: We are going to discuss all the data clients.
20 00:01:49.370 ⇒ 00:01:50.620 Ashwini Sharma: Oh, okay.
21 00:01:51.190 ⇒ 00:01:51.790 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.
22 00:01:52.740 ⇒ 00:01:53.740 Awaish Kumar: For now.
23 00:01:53.920 ⇒ 00:01:54.800 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.
24 00:01:56.180 ⇒ 00:02:02.590 Awaish Kumar: Because I’m kind of passing on all the data clients right now, so basically we are going to discuss all of that.
25 00:02:03.140 ⇒ 00:02:03.860 Ashwini Sharma: Okay.
26 00:02:05.890 ⇒ 00:02:06.490 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.
27 00:02:08.229 ⇒ 00:02:11.589 Ashwini Sharma: No, on ABC, I see Sam and Robert.
28 00:02:11.850 ⇒ 00:02:15.069 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, ABC is an AI client, that’s why it’s a SAM.
29 00:02:15.070 ⇒ 00:02:16.859 Ashwini Sharma: Oh, okay, okay, yep.
30 00:02:19.610 ⇒ 00:02:24.080 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I think we are… All here.
31 00:02:24.220 ⇒ 00:02:28.660 Awaish Kumar: For this stand-up, I would suggest, like.
32 00:02:29.120 ⇒ 00:02:33.769 Awaish Kumar: To everybody, if we should just go on camera for 30 minutes.
33 00:02:34.030 ⇒ 00:02:44.389 Awaish Kumar: Unless, sometimes, if you have any… Problems or something, but otherwise… Let’s try to… Like, keep the cameras on.
34 00:02:49.020 ⇒ 00:02:49.940 Awaish Kumar: Okay?
35 00:02:58.190 ⇒ 00:03:00.690 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so we can start.
36 00:03:05.230 ⇒ 00:03:08.920 Awaish Kumar: With our regular… Stand up.
37 00:03:17.750 ⇒ 00:03:29.570 Awaish Kumar: We can start with… Eden, so since Robert is here, we can ask… like…
38 00:03:29.860 ⇒ 00:03:32.919 Awaish Kumar: Do you have anything to say for Eden?
39 00:03:38.640 ⇒ 00:03:47.980 Robert Tseng: I guess, like… Probably shared a couple messages in the channel, but, I think the…
40 00:03:48.330 ⇒ 00:03:53.199 Robert Tseng: data platform documentation has the OKR slide within that,
41 00:03:53.460 ⇒ 00:03:59.189 Robert Tseng: different objectives are there. We have engagement planners and CSOs assigned, so…
42 00:03:59.190 ⇒ 00:04:05.890 Awaish Kumar: rather than me planning the tickets for everything, I was expecting the engagement planners to kind of come ready to kind of talk about it.
43 00:04:06.030 ⇒ 00:04:11.119 Robert Tseng: I don’t really know how we’re going to adjust the meeting cadence, because for Eden, we were doing, like.
44 00:04:11.740 ⇒ 00:04:21.250 Robert Tseng: we’re meeting mostly on the strategy analytics call, so I think I still have questions on, like, how this is all gonna work, like, am I supposed to just be talking about it at all on this call, or not?
45 00:04:21.250 ⇒ 00:04:27.229 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, no, so Robert, you’re supposed to be hosting another call for the strategy service.
46 00:04:28.040 ⇒ 00:04:28.750 Robert Tseng: Okay.
47 00:04:29.060 ⇒ 00:04:29.680 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
48 00:04:29.680 ⇒ 00:04:34.410 Uttam Kumaran: We’re gonna have… we’re gonna have 3 stand-ups, one for strategy, one for…
49 00:04:34.650 ⇒ 00:04:38.750 Uttam Kumaran: Data, and then one for, basically, AI.
50 00:04:39.550 ⇒ 00:04:40.330 Robert Tseng: How’s safe.
51 00:04:41.160 ⇒ 00:04:42.330 Robert Tseng: I guess on the…
52 00:04:42.330 ⇒ 00:04:53.299 Uttam Kumaran: And then any, like, for any client-specific calls, you just have… the CSO has to just book their own stuff. Like, the morning call is just gonna be, like, everybody checking in, basically.
53 00:04:53.420 ⇒ 00:04:59.320 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. So each… each client can basically run, you know, runs their own however they need to.
54 00:05:00.690 ⇒ 00:05:01.480 Robert Tseng: I see.
55 00:05:02.290 ⇒ 00:05:13.059 Uttam Kumaran: So, like, today, for example, I’m gonna be meeting with Ashwini to clean up some stuff for CTA. I’m meeting with, Amber, who’s the EP on… on,
56 00:05:13.670 ⇒ 00:05:18.409 Uttam Kumaran: on ABC to clean up a bunch of stuff, but, like, I’m scheduling that, like, outside of this.
57 00:05:18.520 ⇒ 00:05:24.740 Uttam Kumaran: this is mainly for just everybody. For… basically, ServiceLead goes around and just hears updates from
58 00:05:25.040 ⇒ 00:05:28.949 Uttam Kumaran: the CSOs and the EPs, and then it sort of indicates, like, where we’re going wrong.
59 00:05:30.100 ⇒ 00:05:31.720 Robert Tseng: Hi, Steve. Okay.
60 00:05:32.170 ⇒ 00:05:36.370 Robert Tseng: In that case, for Eden, like.
61 00:05:37.100 ⇒ 00:05:54.300 Robert Tseng: the way… like, nothing is coming… like, it’s all strategy-driven at this point. Like, we don’t really have that much net new engineering work. There’s, like, ad hoc stuff that comes up that I would expect this team… I mean, this call to probably catch, I guess, when people are saying dashboards are breaking when we’re… I mean, I don’t know, but, like.
62 00:05:54.360 ⇒ 00:06:07.239 Robert Tseng: the OKRs that are in the Eden Data Platform documentation are very clear on, like, what we’re… what we’re working on this quarter. So, yeah, I don’t know, I guess, like, I would probably address that in the other call then.
63 00:06:07.410 ⇒ 00:06:15.579 Robert Tseng: So I’ll probably go in, I’ll change the… I’ll change the, the meeting for the strategy analytics. I’m gonna just rename it and think that.
64 00:06:16.040 ⇒ 00:06:20.399 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, and then there’s a… in the… in the Google Doc, there’s a good, like…
65 00:06:20.500 ⇒ 00:06:39.890 Uttam Kumaran: I think a way, maybe you also read that is, like, how to run these, and basically, like, the goal is, like, to get updates from… like, the service lead just sets the stage, the CSOs give an update on, like, kind of the client, and then the engagement planners talk about, like, okay, what’s the state of, like, tickets and things like that, and then…
66 00:06:40.030 ⇒ 00:06:49.240 Uttam Kumaran: Basically, it should… it should indicate, like, need for follow-ups, and then teams, individual teams, can just book those.
67 00:06:49.810 ⇒ 00:06:50.749 Uttam Kumaran: That’s kind of the goal.
68 00:06:50.750 ⇒ 00:06:51.110 Robert Tseng: I hate it.
69 00:06:51.110 ⇒ 00:06:55.359 Uttam Kumaran: Versus having, like, Three… a 1 hour…
70 00:06:55.600 ⇒ 00:06:57.749 Uttam Kumaran: You know, our one and a half hour stand-ups.
71 00:06:58.200 ⇒ 00:06:59.679 Uttam Kumaran: To kind of do everything.
72 00:07:00.900 ⇒ 00:07:10.820 Robert Tseng: Yeah, so we have multiple work streams on Eden, and so, like, there’s not one CSO for everything, right? So, like, there’s the, like.
73 00:07:13.410 ⇒ 00:07:18.629 Robert Tseng: So, like, Zoran is, I guess, CSO for marketing, I’m kind of CSO for…
74 00:07:18.900 ⇒ 00:07:23.539 Robert Tseng: for other, other things. There is, like, one workstream that I’m, like.
75 00:07:24.190 ⇒ 00:07:37.389 Robert Tseng: Henry is not officially on, but, like, I’m getting… I’m letting him do… basically be that, because he has just one lane that he needs to run. So, I don’t know, like, I guess it ends up being, like.
76 00:07:37.590 ⇒ 00:07:43.109 Robert Tseng: There’s… everybody on that call ends up participating because they all are supposed to be
77 00:07:43.420 ⇒ 00:07:44.339 Robert Tseng: Like, I’m not on the…
78 00:07:44.340 ⇒ 00:07:48.110 Uttam Kumaran: And what I would do is just hold it… I would just hold an Eden call later.
79 00:07:48.250 ⇒ 00:08:05.579 Uttam Kumaran: because there’s other strategy, like, I need to come talk about Andy’s strategy, and there’s gonna be other strategy clients to talk through. Yeah. So, like, my probably thought is, like, run that normally, and then if Eden is big enough, then I would just run something specific to Eden, or you can have…
80 00:08:05.670 ⇒ 00:08:10.619 Uttam Kumaran: You can run separately, depending on Zoron, Henry, and your workflows.
81 00:08:11.220 ⇒ 00:08:12.020 Robert Tseng: Okay, alright.
82 00:08:12.020 ⇒ 00:08:25.460 Uttam Kumaran: Because we’re gonna just end up with, like, probably another 3 or 4 strategy ones, and then these are just gonna get crowded, so this is mainly, like, find what the issues are, and then book the follow-ups, and the CSO’s, like, own that, yeah.
83 00:08:26.320 ⇒ 00:08:26.960 Robert Tseng: Okay.
84 00:08:27.440 ⇒ 00:08:29.060 Robert Tseng: Yeah. Okay.
85 00:08:29.060 ⇒ 00:08:29.550 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so…
86 00:08:29.550 ⇒ 00:08:31.579 Robert Tseng: I’ll just sit on this call, but I’m not gonna say it anymore, yeah.
87 00:08:31.580 ⇒ 00:08:36.219 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah, and then I’ll be on the strategy one, too, talking about, like, Andy’s stuff today, so…
88 00:08:37.549 ⇒ 00:08:38.259 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
89 00:08:38.889 ⇒ 00:08:39.549 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
90 00:08:39.549 ⇒ 00:08:54.449 Awaish Kumar: For Eden, like, there’s not much of the AE work, so almost we catch up on all the AED work needed, but I do have some questions with… from Ashwani, like, is the pipeline for diverse ETL working?
91 00:08:55.270 ⇒ 00:09:02.289 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, yeah, that is working, but Zoran was seeing some issues with, Fluence data not getting uploaded.
92 00:09:02.460 ⇒ 00:09:06.689 Ashwini Sharma: And that was because the upstream model didn’t have any data, so…
93 00:09:07.120 ⇒ 00:09:14.320 Ashwini Sharma: I think Demilade is getting involved in, in that, in figuring out why we don’t have that, that particular data.
94 00:09:14.490 ⇒ 00:09:16.570 Ashwini Sharma: In… in the upstream table.
95 00:09:16.780 ⇒ 00:09:20.339 Ashwini Sharma: But other than that, the catalyst part was working fine.
96 00:09:21.270 ⇒ 00:09:21.950 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
97 00:09:22.150 ⇒ 00:09:25.710 Ashwini Sharma: to North Beam, right? This is for, sending it to the North Beam, yeah.
98 00:09:26.140 ⇒ 00:09:29.640 Awaish Kumar: And, this ticket has been sitting here for…
99 00:09:29.640 ⇒ 00:09:33.899 Ashwini Sharma: This is under review, So, yeah.
100 00:09:34.040 ⇒ 00:09:37.149 Ashwini Sharma: This is under review with, Henry.
101 00:09:37.610 ⇒ 00:09:38.210 Awaish Kumar: Hold on.
102 00:09:40.290 ⇒ 00:09:41.560 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.
103 00:09:41.750 ⇒ 00:09:45.550 Awaish Kumar: So then, yeah, for this demo, I think…
104 00:09:46.340 ⇒ 00:09:48.790 Awaish Kumar: You mentioned that it was done, right?
105 00:09:52.060 ⇒ 00:09:56.370 Demilade Agboola: Mmm… I don’t… I don’t think he was, actually.
106 00:09:57.260 ⇒ 00:09:59.650 Demilade Agboola: But I’m not sure if he has come up since then.
107 00:09:59.990 ⇒ 00:10:08.570 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, Awash, I just want… I just don’t know if we’re gonna have enough time to do, like… I do want to run the stand-up, like, the new proposed method.
108 00:10:08.950 ⇒ 00:10:24.100 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t think we’re gonna have nearly enough time to go through every ticket. I want to run it kind of like what we propose, which is have the CSOs on each of the data clients give an update on where the stuff is, and then have the subsequent engagement planners give an update, and then…
109 00:10:24.220 ⇒ 00:10:31.170 Uttam Kumaran: Your job is to surface, like, where there’s gaps. Like, we’re not gonna have near… we’re not gonna have enough time to run through every ticket for every client.
110 00:10:32.170 ⇒ 00:10:39.010 Awaish Kumar: Okay, yeah, then, like, for… Maybe we need another stand-up or something to go through.
111 00:10:39.260 ⇒ 00:10:42.479 Awaish Kumar: Tickets and detail on how that stuff is going.
112 00:10:43.230 ⇒ 00:10:44.080 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.
113 00:10:44.080 ⇒ 00:11:01.710 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so this is, like, if it’s concerning Eden, then you already heard who the CSOs are for Eden, right? So, it’s… it’s Robert, it’s… but again, if there are… if there are… if there is a DE workstream, then we don’t have that clearly mapped to a CSO, and so we probably need to…
114 00:11:01.970 ⇒ 00:11:10.119 Uttam Kumaran: need to do that, so that we can discuss it here. Otherwise, this would probably end up in the other call, or the Eden-specific call.
115 00:11:11.390 ⇒ 00:11:16.240 Awaish Kumar: Okay, yeah, so then for Eden, like… yeah, as…
116 00:11:16.360 ⇒ 00:11:22.499 Awaish Kumar: Robert mentioned there’s a lot of CSO and EPs involved, so we can just move on.
117 00:11:24.870 ⇒ 00:11:26.459 Awaish Kumar: Default, for now.
118 00:11:29.050 ⇒ 00:11:29.550 Uttam Kumaran: Cool.
119 00:11:29.550 ⇒ 00:11:31.920 Awaish Kumar: By default, Alright.
120 00:11:32.380 ⇒ 00:11:35.450 Awaish Kumar: like, so…
121 00:11:38.540 ⇒ 00:11:42.430 Awaish Kumar: Like, yeah, I just don’t remember who was the CSO assigned.
122 00:11:42.600 ⇒ 00:11:44.320 Mustafa Raja: It’s similar.
123 00:11:44.970 ⇒ 00:11:47.060 Demilade Agboola: Sorry, that’s me, my microphone’s off.
124 00:11:47.200 ⇒ 00:11:52.089 Demilade Agboola: Also, can, yeah, so for default, it’s quiet on their end,
125 00:11:52.590 ⇒ 00:11:59.119 Demilade Agboola: I’m trying to create a bit more FaceTime, so basically I’ve asked to see some of the stakeholders and have conversations.
126 00:11:59.370 ⇒ 00:12:03.479 Demilade Agboola: With them about their needs, but so far they have not responded yet.
127 00:12:03.660 ⇒ 00:12:07.920 Demilade Agboola: And in terms of throughput.
128 00:12:08.400 ⇒ 00:12:15.860 Demilade Agboola: I think the goal this week would be to just get some of the data modeling across to them so that they know that
129 00:12:16.030 ⇒ 00:12:17.839 Demilade Agboola: We are exploring Salesforce.
130 00:12:18.020 ⇒ 00:12:22.619 Demilade Agboola: And just let them understand, like, what’s happening on our end in that regard.
131 00:12:23.910 ⇒ 00:12:38.119 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, and one thing Demolati on this, and so that, yeah, I understand, I’m gonna create a channel with me, you, Caitlin, and Mustafa, because Caitlin has been messaging me about a few things, so I’m just gonna create a channel so you have a direct channel with her.
132 00:12:38.150 ⇒ 00:12:44.449 Uttam Kumaran: If… if you need anything, and no one of the team is responding, she’s the one to… to break that out.
133 00:12:44.580 ⇒ 00:12:49.170 Uttam Kumaran: So I would ping her and say, hey, no one’s responding, can you hop on with me, or can you tell someone to meet with me?
134 00:12:49.530 ⇒ 00:12:54.099 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, they’re, they’re pretty good, they’re pretty good about unblocking things, so…
135 00:12:54.220 ⇒ 00:12:57.429 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna create, like, another data channel, just with the four of us.
136 00:12:59.940 ⇒ 00:13:01.290 Demilade Agboola: Okay, that sounds good.
137 00:13:02.420 ⇒ 00:13:06.630 Uttam Kumaran: And then, yeah, I think the biggest thing, probably, Mustafa, is we just need to start to see…
138 00:13:06.780 ⇒ 00:13:08.829 Uttam Kumaran: You know, probably longer roadmap.
139 00:13:08.830 ⇒ 00:13:09.360 Mustafa Raja: Yep.
140 00:13:09.360 ⇒ 00:13:15.380 Uttam Kumaran: You know, so… if you want me involved, feel free, but yeah, maybe, Demi, you, and Mr.
141 00:13:15.790 ⇒ 00:13:28.180 Uttam Kumaran: need to start that on the, basically, the data engineering side and the AE side. Additionally, I’m gonna have Greg, get looped in to start to plan out, Amplitude workstream for them.
142 00:13:28.340 ⇒ 00:13:33.810 Uttam Kumaran: So, once you have a version, I can start to have him loop in and layer in his amplitude stuff.
143 00:13:34.810 ⇒ 00:13:35.530 Mustafa Raja: Okay.
144 00:13:36.200 ⇒ 00:13:41.110 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I’ll understand the goals of the work streams, and then,
145 00:13:41.380 ⇒ 00:13:48.139 Mustafa Raja: do some Gantt charts on that. Apart from that, I was, working on the Hyperline
146 00:13:48.360 ⇒ 00:13:51.929 Mustafa Raja: data update thing, I created a PR…
147 00:13:52.160 ⇒ 00:14:07.750 Mustafa Raja: So that, then the graph, I needed to update the graph, and, it needed to have some measures and, dimensions. Aisha proved that, I’ll update the dashboard, and I’ll send it to Caitlin.
148 00:14:10.220 ⇒ 00:14:15.139 Mustafa Raja: Apart from that, I’ll, I’ll try to, schedule a meeting with Demiladi today.
149 00:14:17.680 ⇒ 00:14:26.109 Awaish Kumar: Okay, and yeah, so that’s the upgrade, for default.
150 00:14:27.120 ⇒ 00:14:31.440 Awaish Kumar: And… Yeah, I think we can…
151 00:14:31.440 ⇒ 00:14:47.450 Mustafa Raja: One more thing, one more thing I want to mention is I would want to, create some sort of syncs between Hyperline and Mother Duck. It’s purely manual today, and unlike product data, I think,
152 00:14:48.150 ⇒ 00:14:55.940 Mustafa Raja: We wouldn’t need, their input for that, so we could… Own that properly.
153 00:14:56.630 ⇒ 00:15:00.370 Mustafa Raja: And create a sync between Hypiline and Mother Dark.
154 00:15:02.500 ⇒ 00:15:06.440 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, if you spec that out, then you can work with Demolade to propose it to Caitlin.
155 00:15:06.470 ⇒ 00:15:08.130 Mustafa Raja: Okay. For that thing, yeah.
156 00:15:09.660 ⇒ 00:15:13.400 Awaish Kumar: Okay, also, can we, like, clean up the linear?
157 00:15:13.400 ⇒ 00:15:15.990 Mustafa Raja: 178 and 203 are good.
158 00:15:18.050 ⇒ 00:15:23.099 Awaish Kumar: Like, I think we can just start to think that up before this meeting.
159 00:15:23.390 ⇒ 00:15:23.730 Mustafa Raja: Okay.
160 00:15:23.980 ⇒ 00:15:25.170 Mustafa Raja: Okay, yeah.
161 00:15:28.760 ⇒ 00:15:35.490 Awaish Kumar: Then we can… So, we have some ABCDE work as well.
162 00:15:37.470 ⇒ 00:15:38.129 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, so…
163 00:15:38.130 ⇒ 00:15:46.470 Uttam Kumaran: So, maybe I can talk about that, Mustafa. So, yeah, we’re… I’m asking, for some help to set up BigQuery for our discovery project.
164 00:15:46.680 ⇒ 00:16:01.379 Uttam Kumaran: So I feel comfortable there, I’m working directly with Mustafa on it, and then me and Amber are gonna work on the linear tickets and the Gantt chart today. So by tomorrow’s meeting, I should have, you know, kind of clear plan for the discovery workstream.
165 00:16:01.470 ⇒ 00:16:10.299 Uttam Kumaran: On the DE side. And then, anything related to Andy, the AI stuff, I think we’ll probably end up discussing on the… on the next call, so…
166 00:16:10.300 ⇒ 00:16:15.160 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, and then… Amber, like, sent some files.
167 00:16:15.720 ⇒ 00:16:17.930 Awaish Kumar: and Slack to upload to BigQuery.
168 00:16:18.340 ⇒ 00:16:19.630 Awaish Kumar: Part of the same thing?
169 00:16:20.050 ⇒ 00:16:24.179 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so we’ll… I’ll work directly with Mustafa on that. I guess for this meeting, like.
170 00:16:24.440 ⇒ 00:16:30.780 Uttam Kumaran: unless there’s an issue, I’m probably gonna just say, like, well, we’re gonna… we’re gonna handle it, so there’s no issue there right now.
171 00:16:32.010 ⇒ 00:16:44.990 Uttam Kumaran: So that’s why I guess, like, for this call, I don’t necessarily want… need to go into every workstream for every client. Mainly high-level update for me as a CSO is that, like, yeah, things are… things are fine there, I’m gonna work directly with staff on loading that.
172 00:16:45.660 ⇒ 00:16:46.020 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
173 00:16:46.020 ⇒ 00:16:48.349 Uttam Kumaran: And then you’ll get looped in for review.
174 00:16:51.300 ⇒ 00:16:52.160 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
175 00:16:52.730 ⇒ 00:16:54.950 Awaish Kumar: Then we have, Element.
176 00:16:56.310 ⇒ 00:17:03.989 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so on Element, we have a meeting later today and a couple, so I’m gonna work on preparing,
177 00:17:04.230 ⇒ 00:17:18.679 Uttam Kumaran: meeting agendas, for some of those. I think, Robert, I’ll make sure… I don’t know if you got added to some of those, we… but they’re kind of, like, randomly dispersed between… during the week, so I’ll see if you… however you want to get included.
178 00:17:18.680 ⇒ 00:17:20.789 Robert Tseng: me, wherever, and I’ll see if I…
179 00:17:21.450 ⇒ 00:17:32.619 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, okay. So I’ll include you there. Yeah, otherwise, I think, maybe, Awash, we need to figure out who we’re gonna loop in, to support on… on Element.
180 00:17:32.740 ⇒ 00:17:36.000 Uttam Kumaran: So maybe me and you can decide on that.
181 00:17:38.250 ⇒ 00:17:42.069 Uttam Kumaran: But otherwise, like, I think you’re mainly managing all the DE pipelines, so…
182 00:17:42.700 ⇒ 00:17:47.530 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, for… For element, the… we have set up the infra.
183 00:17:47.870 ⇒ 00:17:51.660 Awaish Kumar: Shopify data is complicated, recharge data is there.
184 00:17:51.960 ⇒ 00:17:58.849 Awaish Kumar: And we can, like, there is some missing data for Shopify, but we have some which we can start modeling.
185 00:18:00.290 ⇒ 00:18:04.899 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, great. So I’m gonna send… I’m gonna send a note today, basically confirming that we have that.
186 00:18:05.230 ⇒ 00:18:07.660 Uttam Kumaran: This is a good message to send today.
187 00:18:08.600 ⇒ 00:18:11.839 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, so, for example, for Shopify, we have
188 00:18:12.460 ⇒ 00:18:16.749 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, we can basically start to model for wholesale, but we… I will…
189 00:18:16.860 ⇒ 00:18:23.350 Awaish Kumar: like, we need to send some message to wholesale as well to get the, the Excel
190 00:18:23.760 ⇒ 00:18:26.309 Awaish Kumar: Google Sheets they are using for their CRM.
191 00:18:27.850 ⇒ 00:18:29.259 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, I’ll do that today.
192 00:18:29.260 ⇒ 00:18:29.820 Awaish Kumar: Alright.
193 00:18:32.030 ⇒ 00:18:36.019 Awaish Kumar: Then we have, CTA, basically.
194 00:18:37.550 ⇒ 00:18:45.220 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so, they’re in the middle of CES right now, so I think they’re gonna be slow to respond. Ashwini and I are working on the Gantt chart.
195 00:18:45.380 ⇒ 00:18:50.820 Uttam Kumaran: For this project, and then I’ll have him break out tickets.
196 00:18:50.940 ⇒ 00:18:54.680 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, otherwise, like, Ashwini, me and you can catch up later.
197 00:18:55.020 ⇒ 00:19:04.180 Uttam Kumaran: I feel fine. I think… I think probably end of… like, end of… towards the end of this month, I’ll have a little bit more update on if there’s… could be additional work streams here, but…
198 00:19:04.350 ⇒ 00:19:06.339 Uttam Kumaran: Well, all good here.
199 00:19:07.870 ⇒ 00:19:08.500 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
200 00:19:08.760 ⇒ 00:19:09.330 Ashwini Sharma: Cool.
201 00:19:12.270 ⇒ 00:19:14.210 Awaish Kumar: Then for Hydra.
202 00:19:17.200 ⇒ 00:19:21.569 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so on Hydra, I know, Awish, you’re… you’ve been directly working with
203 00:19:21.740 ⇒ 00:19:29.960 Uttam Kumaran: Sandra, we… yesterday, we completed the scope for… The AI prompt.
204 00:19:30.130 ⇒ 00:19:31.700 Uttam Kumaran: sort of classification.
205 00:19:32.640 ⇒ 00:19:35.669 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know if you ended up sending that over?
206 00:19:36.160 ⇒ 00:19:42.759 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, that, like… If that is, like, approved by you, I can just send it home.
207 00:19:43.430 ⇒ 00:19:49.460 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I put in all my comments, so otherwise, it’s good. Yeah, I would just send it over.
208 00:19:49.840 ⇒ 00:19:53.970 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so I will send that to send Rotary, and .
209 00:19:53.970 ⇒ 00:19:59.809 Uttam Kumaran: And then, I know you sent a message about two other work streams, retention and product analytics.
210 00:20:00.160 ⇒ 00:20:05.369 Uttam Kumaran: I was gonna have, I was gonna have Greg work on scope for both of those.
211 00:20:06.470 ⇒ 00:20:07.150 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
212 00:20:07.830 ⇒ 00:20:11.150 Uttam Kumaran: What do you think? Like, how urgent is it?
213 00:20:12.420 ⇒ 00:20:25.650 Awaish Kumar: So… so retention analysis is the… is something which they really need right now, and I was involved in directly working on this part, but product analytics can be at all.
214 00:20:27.980 ⇒ 00:20:35.040 Awaish Kumar: Okay. For retention analysis, basically, she’s trying to do that right now, so it’s quite the time.
215 00:20:36.900 ⇒ 00:20:39.480 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, I’ll bring it up in the strategy call, see what we can do.
216 00:20:40.680 ⇒ 00:20:45.570 Uttam Kumaran: But I’m gonna have… I’m gonna have him do the product analytics scope anyways, so you have it.
217 00:20:47.440 ⇒ 00:20:52.160 Awaish Kumar: Okay, okay, then, yeah, that’s all.
218 00:20:53.790 ⇒ 00:20:54.440 Uttam Kumaran: Magic spin.
219 00:20:54.630 ⇒ 00:20:55.859 Awaish Kumar: Let me explain that.
220 00:20:58.130 ⇒ 00:20:59.279 Uttam Kumaran: Demi.
221 00:20:59.680 ⇒ 00:21:05.569 Demilade Agboola: So for Magic Spoon, the vibe seems good, they seem quite excited, we plan to meet them today.
222 00:21:06.230 ⇒ 00:21:08.919 Demilade Agboola: And it’s a 30-minute call.
223 00:21:09.100 ⇒ 00:21:12.589 Demilade Agboola: Basically, we’re supposed to, like, just think on how far we’ve come.
224 00:21:12.890 ⇒ 00:21:16.749 Demilade Agboola: Any roadblocks or any issues we’ve had so far.
225 00:21:17.470 ⇒ 00:21:26.470 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, it’s just a basic touch base. I will say that in terms of productivity, it’s kind of hard to utilize the.
226 00:21:26.470 ⇒ 00:21:30.210 Uttam Kumaran: spread out hours, because the people on the team are myself and Ashwini.
227 00:21:30.590 ⇒ 00:21:40.900 Demilade Agboola: And anytime we need access, we need OTPs, and we have to basically wait for the US hours before we can get that, so that is definitely…
228 00:21:41.160 ⇒ 00:21:45.520 Demilade Agboola: A potential, like, roadblock to how much we can show today.
229 00:21:45.790 ⇒ 00:21:51.879 Demilade Agboola: But that being said, we’ll definitely just give them some updates on how far we’ve come and, you know…
230 00:21:52.920 ⇒ 00:21:56.620 Uttam Kumaran: So what is the, like, what is the update, or what’s the, like, plan for that meeting?
231 00:21:57.520 ⇒ 00:22:01.170 Demilade Agboola: So, slight update, it would just be the…
232 00:22:01.710 ⇒ 00:22:08.160 Demilade Agboola: I know from Ashwini’s end, he’s started working on getting, like, the prefix setup.
233 00:22:08.300 ⇒ 00:22:12.710 Demilade Agboola: So that’s work in progress. And then from my end,
234 00:22:13.420 ⇒ 00:22:22.139 Demilade Agboola: I have started looking at some of the dbt things, but not… not in depth, so I plan to, like, get some deep work done over the next, like, 2 to 3 hours.
235 00:22:22.330 ⇒ 00:22:25.550 Demilade Agboola: And just have, like, a high-level…
236 00:22:26.200 ⇒ 00:22:29.579 Demilade Agboola: Pros and cons, like, good and bad of their architecture.
237 00:22:29.690 ⇒ 00:22:31.790 Demilade Agboola: Before the meeting.
238 00:22:33.200 ⇒ 00:22:40.559 Uttam Kumaran: And then, Ashwini, like, what’s the plan for, like, Prefect? I assume they’re just gonna ask us, like, what is the status on…
239 00:22:40.560 ⇒ 00:22:41.490 Awaish Kumar: On building.
240 00:22:41.490 ⇒ 00:22:42.390 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, I…
241 00:22:42.390 ⇒ 00:22:44.340 Awaish Kumar: We are meeting right after this call.
242 00:22:44.560 ⇒ 00:22:45.830 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, okay.
243 00:22:45.830 ⇒ 00:22:48.729 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, to get up to speed on Prefect.
244 00:22:49.900 ⇒ 00:23:06.829 Uttam Kumaran: So maybe, Demolade, can we meet, like, maybe 20 minutes before that meeting? I just want to make sure we don’t walk in with, like, nothing in hand. So I want to just make sure I can help prepare agenda, or prepare slides, or whatever you need.
245 00:23:07.100 ⇒ 00:23:13.479 Uttam Kumaran: they’re certainly gonna ask about how far… what progress we’ve made on getting the Spins API set up.
246 00:23:13.620 ⇒ 00:23:27.699 Uttam Kumaran: So certainly, I want to make sure that at least we have that. If we can make progress on the discovery work stream, that’s perfect. And then the third item, let’s… we can talk to them about getting past this OTP thing. But if you’re… if you’re good, then maybe let’s meet…
247 00:23:28.220 ⇒ 00:23:32.430 Uttam Kumaran: Like, 20-30 minutes before, just to iron the agenda out.
248 00:23:33.280 ⇒ 00:23:35.460 Demilade Agboola: Okay, sounds good, I’ll send you an invite right now.
249 00:23:36.270 ⇒ 00:23:36.800 Uttam Kumaran: F.
250 00:23:37.700 ⇒ 00:23:42.390 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I… Just want to highlight on Element, I’m…
251 00:23:43.250 ⇒ 00:23:47.619 Awaish Kumar: I’m not seeing that wholesale call that was scheduled anymore.
252 00:23:48.930 ⇒ 00:23:49.400 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
253 00:23:49.400 ⇒ 00:23:51.900 Awaish Kumar: I’m not sure if you want to ask for that.
254 00:23:52.250 ⇒ 00:23:53.400 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, I will.
255 00:23:54.460 ⇒ 00:23:55.670 Awaish Kumar: Thank you.
256 00:23:59.870 ⇒ 00:24:00.890 Uttam Kumaran: Anything else?
257 00:24:01.670 ⇒ 00:24:02.560 Awaish Kumar: Oh, nope.
258 00:24:04.680 ⇒ 00:24:23.369 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah, maybe one point, like, yeah, so in terms of, like, reflecting on this call, like, in terms of stand-ups, like, this is sort of the way it should head. Like, for the most part, the CSOs are giving an update on, like, okay, is client happy? Like, what’s the plans? What are we presenting? What are we executing? And then the engagement planner
259 00:24:23.450 ⇒ 00:24:27.049 Uttam Kumaran: should say, we’re on track, yes or no. If not, why not?
260 00:24:27.210 ⇒ 00:24:35.209 Uttam Kumaran: We’re gonna start to… like, there’s gonna start to be more than, you know, 5 clients in this meeting, so for the most part.
261 00:24:35.210 ⇒ 00:24:49.920 Uttam Kumaran: we want to keep it lean in terms of, like, the messaging, so that Awash can understand, okay, I need to go follow up with Mustafa to help him on block here. Everybody knows, kind of, like, what their follow-ups are, and then the teams need to individually meet.
262 00:24:49.970 ⇒ 00:25:00.920 Uttam Kumaran: Not every team is going to need to meet every day, so that’s gonna be up to, like, the CSO and the EP to sort of make a decision. But, like, because right now we’re getting Gantt charts and things, we’ll probably end up meeting most days.
263 00:25:01.000 ⇒ 00:25:06.439 Uttam Kumaran: But ideally, these shouldn’t take the whole 30 minutes. Mainly, we want to spend time
264 00:25:06.650 ⇒ 00:25:11.189 Uttam Kumaran: just understanding, like, what the status of everything is. So yeah, that’s it.
265 00:25:12.470 ⇒ 00:25:13.820 Awaish Kumar: Okay, but…
266 00:25:13.820 ⇒ 00:25:14.400 Demilade Agboola: Just…
267 00:25:15.980 ⇒ 00:25:16.309 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, go ahead.
268 00:25:16.510 ⇒ 00:25:26.359 Demilade Agboola: a, like, a CSO update on urban stems. So the vibe is, like, our purpose is, like, a 3 out of a 10. It’s not the best right now, because they need some of their dashboards up.
269 00:25:26.700 ⇒ 00:25:29.470 Demilade Agboola: And I’ve tried to help Emily, like, show, like.
270 00:25:30.220 ⇒ 00:25:34.430 Demilade Agboola: point her into where she needs to look into. She pointed out, like, Threadships was…
271 00:25:34.430 ⇒ 00:25:38.129 Uttam Kumaran: What did she say? Like, are she smashed the rich afterwards?
272 00:25:38.770 ⇒ 00:25:46.080 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, so she mentioned that Redshift was being slow, so that’s kind of what she was looking at and trying to figure out prior to looking into any other thing.
273 00:25:46.260 ⇒ 00:25:52.709 Demilade Agboola: So I’m not sure how handy you want us to be in that case, which is part of why I brought it up here right now.
274 00:25:53.220 ⇒ 00:26:01.299 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so, I mean, unless they approve our time, we’re not supposed to be working on stuff. So, unless she’s like, I need help.
275 00:26:02.240 ⇒ 00:26:06.220 Uttam Kumaran: And I need you to help me on this. We’re not supposed to be…
276 00:26:07.060 ⇒ 00:26:11.150 Uttam Kumaran: Like, we’re only supposed to be helping for approved hours, so…
277 00:26:11.570 ⇒ 00:26:27.010 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, that’s why I… I was gonna send a message, but I didn’t want to step over you, so if you have the comms with Emily, and she… she is requesting ours, then go for it, but ultimately, like, this is what they… this is what…
278 00:26:27.260 ⇒ 00:26:31.850 Uttam Kumaran: They expected, so it’s… it’s… Yeah, it is what it is.
279 00:26:33.050 ⇒ 00:26:35.819 Demilade Agboola: Oh, okay, alright, I will draft a message and send to them.
280 00:26:36.360 ⇒ 00:26:50.050 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, she… she… like, basically her and Zach need to be aware, the one… where we don’t want to get jammed is we don’t want to bill hours, and then Zach’s like, why did you bill hours? And we’re like, Emily said, okay. And he’s like, I told… I need to approve.
281 00:26:50.230 ⇒ 00:26:57.449 Uttam Kumaran: So, we can… I can also loop you in, Demi, on a thread with Zach, and we can… we can talk, but…
