12 00:03:52.500 ⇒ 00:03:55.900 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, but I’m just waiting if… Put them joins.
13 00:03:57.150 ⇒ 00:03:58.040 Demilade Agboola: Sounds good.
14 00:04:42.810 ⇒ 00:04:46.199 Awaish Kumar: Okay, we can start. I’ll brief him.
15 00:04:47.220 ⇒ 00:04:52.099 Awaish Kumar: on magic spoons, so… Yeah, Demolari, you can go ahead.
16 00:04:53.430 ⇒ 00:04:56.800 Demilade Agboola: So Magic Spawn seems really in a good spot right now.
17 00:04:58.230 ⇒ 00:05:03.709 Demilade Agboola: It appears that Ashwin was able to meet with the team yesterday, with Michael specifically.
18 00:05:04.410 ⇒ 00:05:11.470 Demilade Agboola: And we’re able to, one, should, like, get some feedback, but also be able to move things forward.
19 00:05:12.010 ⇒ 00:05:22.720 Demilade Agboola: and 2… We plan to have meetings with them tomorrow, where we will, like, put the audits
20 00:05:24.070 ⇒ 00:05:27.469 Demilade Agboola: The audit first draft in front of them, and what we’ve learned so far.
21 00:05:27.720 ⇒ 00:05:30.219 Demilade Agboola: I’ve also been able to look at the…
22 00:05:30.670 ⇒ 00:05:37.700 Demilade Agboola: get a list of the long-running dbt models, and my plan today is to go through them and come up with ideas to optimize them.
23 00:05:37.950 ⇒ 00:05:44.490 Demilade Agboola: Unfortunately, our DBT account Does not have, like, runner’s permission, it’s just, like, a viewer.
24 00:05:44.710 ⇒ 00:05:56.780 Demilade Agboola: So I can’t actually test things, but I will put down what I think would help, like changing the materialization type, breaking up certain, like, models into smaller bits, things like that.
25 00:05:56.950 ⇒ 00:06:02.879 Demilade Agboola: And we’ll see… and we’ll test it, hopefully this week, but if we don’t get access next week.
26 00:06:03.140 ⇒ 00:06:05.659 Demilade Agboola: So that’s kind of where Magic Phone stands.
27 00:06:05.660 ⇒ 00:06:11.810 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so, like, what is your goal? What, like, what do we want to achieve by the end of this week?
28 00:06:12.360 ⇒ 00:06:20.250 Demilade Agboola: End of this week, we should be able to at least show some data from Magix, from the Spins API to them.
29 00:06:20.760 ⇒ 00:06:21.160 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
30 00:06:21.160 ⇒ 00:06:28.710 Demilade Agboola: As well as also showing them, ways in which they can improve their overall, like, runtime in dbt.
31 00:06:30.470 ⇒ 00:06:34.359 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so Audit Report and the participants API.
32 00:06:34.570 ⇒ 00:06:36.660 Awaish Kumar: Is the goal for this week.
33 00:06:36.660 ⇒ 00:06:37.330 Demilade Agboola: Yes.
34 00:06:37.620 ⇒ 00:06:39.700 Awaish Kumar: Okay. Yeah, Ashuni…
35 00:06:40.180 ⇒ 00:06:46.180 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, so I had a discussion with Michael yesterday, and there were some changes to the initial understanding of
36 00:06:46.490 ⇒ 00:06:51.920 Ashwini Sharma: how we are going to create the pipeline. And then he clarified in a different thread.
37 00:06:52.100 ⇒ 00:06:59.200 Ashwini Sharma: which he had sent me yesterday evening. I mean, my early morning.
38 00:06:59.710 ⇒ 00:07:17.300 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, so basically, I will be done with the pipeline today. Done means I will be done locally, because I cannot deploy it. Even if I deploy it, it’s not going to run in Prefect environment, because they lack an owner account. We need the owner account to set some environment variables in the Prefect Cloud.
39 00:07:17.510 ⇒ 00:07:23.089 Ashwini Sharma: And until we have that, I will have to run it locally and then load the data into Redshift.
40 00:07:23.300 ⇒ 00:07:29.039 Ashwini Sharma: So, I have got the credentials and everything to the Redshift. I should be able to load it today, hopefully.
41 00:07:29.910 ⇒ 00:07:36.769 Awaish Kumar: So, the… once you push the code to main, it should deploy, right?
42 00:07:36.770 ⇒ 00:07:54.339 Ashwini Sharma: It will deploy. Yeah, it will deploy. The point is, like, when you are trying to access S3 or Redshift, right, you need some environment parameters. And also, like, when you’re trying to access the… what do you call it? Spins API, unit client ID and client secret.
43 00:07:55.220 ⇒ 00:07:55.790 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.
44 00:07:55.790 ⇒ 00:07:58.130 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, that cannot be set right now.
45 00:07:58.130 ⇒ 00:08:03.959 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, yeah, but we want to store them in Pfek Cloud that our current account don’t have the access, right?
46 00:08:03.960 ⇒ 00:08:06.110 Ashwini Sharma: Yes. But they do… do they have?
47 00:08:06.110 ⇒ 00:08:09.060 Awaish Kumar: No, they also don’t have it, so they are waiting…
48 00:08:09.060 ⇒ 00:08:14.460 Ashwini Sharma: On some… some analytics partner to get those ownership accounts.
49 00:08:15.360 ⇒ 00:08:16.930 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so that’s the blocker.
50 00:08:16.930 ⇒ 00:08:17.530 Ashwini Sharma: Yep.
51 00:08:18.040 ⇒ 00:08:24.020 Awaish Kumar: So, we will be done by… Prefect Pipeline Implementation.
52 00:08:24.270 ⇒ 00:08:26.750 Awaish Kumar: But the deployment is the blocker.
53 00:08:27.920 ⇒ 00:08:34.959 Ashwini Sharma: I mean, yeah, we can still deploy, the thing is, it will not work after deployment, yeah.
54 00:08:34.960 ⇒ 00:08:37.650 Awaish Kumar: It’s the blocker, that’s what I’m saying. You can’t deploy it.
55 00:08:37.659 ⇒ 00:08:38.199 Ashwini Sharma: Yep.
56 00:08:40.260 ⇒ 00:08:49.339 Demilade Agboola: In my daily updates to them today, I’ll tell them, like, I’ll inform them about, you know, just make it known to the entire team that that will be a block of us.
57 00:08:49.740 ⇒ 00:08:58.070 Demilade Agboola: It appears, yes, the analytics partners are the ones that run things, so we keep needing to get permission or access to be able to do things.
58 00:08:58.710 ⇒ 00:09:06.339 Awaish Kumar: Okay, but that’s okay, like, we are kind of… we have done our part, and mostly it’s on the client, but we still have…
59 00:09:06.720 ⇒ 00:09:15.479 Awaish Kumar: Like, maybe today and tomorrow, we maybe get those added in environment variables, and maybe we can then deploy our pipeline.
60 00:09:17.780 ⇒ 00:09:22.389 Awaish Kumar: That’s good, like, and did you already created the PR, actually?
61 00:09:22.720 ⇒ 00:09:27.029 Ashwini Sharma: No, no, not yet. Like, I’ll have to do it locally first, and then I’ll create the PR.
62 00:09:27.030 ⇒ 00:09:32.279 Awaish Kumar: Okay, let’s have it in a PR, but we don’t deploy it until environment variables are set up.
63 00:09:32.660 ⇒ 00:09:33.420 Ashwini Sharma: Yep.
64 00:09:33.770 ⇒ 00:09:35.240 Awaish Kumar: Okay, great.
65 00:09:35.510 ⇒ 00:09:40.770 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so… I, okay, we are good on Magic Spoons.
66 00:09:41.170 ⇒ 00:09:43.839 Awaish Kumar: Then we can move to…
67 00:09:44.800 ⇒ 00:09:51.970 Awaish Kumar: Hitrah, basically. Hidra is kind of a blocker right now. We don’t have anything to do, so we are just…
68 00:09:52.270 ⇒ 00:09:56.499 Awaish Kumar: Like, kind of, we have done all they needed on the data side.
69 00:09:56.670 ⇒ 00:10:05.009 Awaish Kumar: And I was, proposing them some… like, AI prompt classification project.
70 00:10:05.170 ⇒ 00:10:08.510 Awaish Kumar: But, yeah, we don’t know yet, like, what they decided.
71 00:10:09.010 ⇒ 00:10:16.349 Awaish Kumar: And, so, yeah, there’s nothing on this client for now. In the meantime,
72 00:10:17.400 ⇒ 00:10:22.930 Awaish Kumar: Greg is working on SOW, Oh, for…
73 00:10:23.410 ⇒ 00:10:34.009 Awaish Kumar: for product analytics and retention analysis work streams, and we are hoping to get it done by end of this week. After that, like, in the next week, we can share it with the…
74 00:10:34.220 ⇒ 00:10:35.289 Awaish Kumar: With the heat off.
75 00:10:36.260 ⇒ 00:10:37.410 Awaish Kumar: So that’s the plan.
76 00:10:39.810 ⇒ 00:10:45.790 Awaish Kumar: And, yeah, all this… We can move on to the CTA stuff.
77 00:10:46.430 ⇒ 00:10:47.890 Awaish Kumar: So…
78 00:10:48.410 ⇒ 00:10:52.889 Ashwini Sharma: So, nothing, nothing, going on in the CTA side.
79 00:10:53.390 ⇒ 00:10:56.390 Ashwini Sharma: They are busy with the CES thing.
80 00:10:57.040 ⇒ 00:11:00.109 Ashwini Sharma: So, maybe this week nothing will happen on CTA.
81 00:11:01.430 ⇒ 00:11:02.270 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
82 00:11:03.800 ⇒ 00:11:11.989 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so… And what, like, do you sync with the UTAV and have the Gantt chart ready?
83 00:11:11.990 ⇒ 00:11:15.360 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, yeah, so the Gantt chart is more or less cleaned up.
84 00:11:15.360 ⇒ 00:11:20.450 Awaish Kumar: Can we move… can we, like, clean up this board before we come to this meeting?
85 00:11:20.800 ⇒ 00:11:24.430 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, I can, add more details to that.
86 00:11:26.060 ⇒ 00:11:34.560 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, like, add details, if any, or change the statuses, so we are talking about the latest work we are doing.
87 00:11:38.240 ⇒ 00:11:45.180 Awaish Kumar: For Element, so… yeah, I can go on. So, we already started…
88 00:11:46.110 ⇒ 00:11:49.850 Awaish Kumar: So, we have already started the ingestion, we have already…
89 00:11:49.950 ⇒ 00:11:53.910 Awaish Kumar: Set up these snowflakes, so all these tasks are kind of done.
90 00:11:54.100 ⇒ 00:11:59.899 Awaish Kumar: Yesterday we worked on modeling for…
91 00:12:00.390 ⇒ 00:12:03.010 Awaish Kumar: Shopify, we have some tables, like.
92 00:12:03.250 ⇒ 00:12:07.050 Awaish Kumar: DIM users and fake orders, which are coming up.
93 00:12:07.250 ⇒ 00:12:08.350 Awaish Kumar: So…
94 00:12:10.120 ⇒ 00:12:23.379 Awaish Kumar: So, like, the goal of… by the end of this week is that we will have few Shopify models out, along with, we have some meetings, discovery meetings with the retail team.
95 00:12:23.620 ⇒ 00:12:28.799 Awaish Kumar: And also, we have the… Like, omin demo.
96 00:12:28.920 ⇒ 00:12:33.659 Awaish Kumar: like, this afternoon, Demilade will be presenting that.
97 00:12:33.780 ⇒ 00:12:37.149 Awaish Kumar: So, yeah, that’s the plan for Element this week.
98 00:12:38.910 ⇒ 00:12:41.490 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, Utum, are you here?
99 00:12:41.490 ⇒ 00:12:42.580 Uttam Kumaran: Hey, yes, I’m here.
100 00:12:42.660 ⇒ 00:12:43.320 Awaish Kumar: Nope.
101 00:12:43.740 ⇒ 00:12:52.740 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, for the, for the Omni demo, yeah, I was gonna see whether you think it’s worth doing it today still, or,
102 00:12:53.130 ⇒ 00:12:55.159 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, like, if we feel comfortable with that.
103 00:12:59.110 ⇒ 00:13:07.340 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, we are, I think I already asked Demil Nade to come in the meeting and present, so if Demi is okay, and he…
104 00:13:07.530 ⇒ 00:13:11.159 Awaish Kumar: He has the, availability, we can go on.
105 00:13:12.750 ⇒ 00:13:15.639 Uttam Kumaran: Great. Demi, yeah, just confirming you’re okay.
106 00:13:19.230 ⇒ 00:13:20.069 Awaish Kumar: You’re on mute.
107 00:13:20.360 ⇒ 00:13:21.110 Uttam Kumaran: You’re on mute.
108 00:13:21.500 ⇒ 00:13:27.700 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, it should be fine. I’m signing into the demo account, so, like, our brain for…
109 00:13:27.830 ⇒ 00:13:29.920 Demilade Agboola: So, I will look through…
110 00:13:30.450 ⇒ 00:13:37.180 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so Element is like a… it’s CPG, so I think maybe what we can also do is, like.
111 00:13:37.360 ⇒ 00:13:42.240 Uttam Kumaran: We can also work on an agenda together if you want, like…
112 00:13:42.940 ⇒ 00:13:49.439 Uttam Kumaran: I think it’s gonna be actually kind of probably pretty similar to the one we did for default.
113 00:13:49.880 ⇒ 00:13:59.099 Uttam Kumaran: These are both, like, business stakeholders, though, so I think they’re actually going to be more interested in, like, the AI features.
114 00:13:59.200 ⇒ 00:14:05.850 Uttam Kumaran: But I feel like this is, like, you… the one you did for default was actually, like, awesome, so…
115 00:14:07.020 ⇒ 00:14:15.190 Uttam Kumaran: even if you don’t… like, if you want to go end-to-end, that could… that could be nice, but also, I think, using the e-com demo that’s already there.
116 00:14:17.550 ⇒ 00:14:23.010 Uttam Kumaran: would be helpful, and then I think, yeah, they’re interested in seeing some of the AI features, really, so…
117 00:14:24.150 ⇒ 00:14:26.659 Demilade Agboola: Alright, sounds good. I will focus on that and get ready for it.
118 00:14:27.040 ⇒ 00:14:28.400 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, thank you, dear.
119 00:14:34.610 ⇒ 00:14:42.499 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so yeah, like, we were just discussing that, like, having some few models
120 00:14:42.820 ⇒ 00:14:55.349 Awaish Kumar: for Shopify, a few more models, and then also we have a discovery call for retail, and then this demo, and that… that’s the plan for this week. That’s what we will accomplish.
121 00:14:57.150 ⇒ 00:14:57.890 Uttam Kumaran: Perfect.
122 00:15:00.070 ⇒ 00:15:02.110 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so we actually…
123 00:15:03.760 ⇒ 00:15:08.950 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, we can move on to the other one, and then we can just recap on what we already discussed.
124 00:15:09.490 ⇒ 00:15:14.440 Awaish Kumar: The next one is, the default.
125 00:15:20.270 ⇒ 00:15:27.950 Demilade Agboola: So for default… we haven’t necessarily, like, Katie hasn’t necessarily responded.
126 00:15:28.120 ⇒ 00:15:31.979 Demilade Agboola: to our request to get, like, regular FaceTime.
127 00:15:32.340 ⇒ 00:15:33.680 Demilade Agboola: With them every week.
128 00:15:34.080 ⇒ 00:15:39.390 Demilade Agboola: But in terms of actual, like, deliverables…
129 00:15:39.540 ⇒ 00:15:44.759 Demilade Agboola: we should be able to get some Salesforce data modeling to them by the end of the week.
130 00:15:45.210 ⇒ 00:15:52.909 Demilade Agboola: And I plan to… so Mustafa is out ill today, but the plan was to get the Gantz chat across to them also by the end of the week.
131 00:15:53.140 ⇒ 00:15:54.280 Demilade Agboola: But…
132 00:15:54.620 ⇒ 00:16:01.600 Demilade Agboola: Mustafa is working on that, he’ll be back tomorrow. I will have the meeting with him early tomorrow, so hopefully we can still get it out.
133 00:16:02.060 ⇒ 00:16:07.100 Demilade Agboola: Tomorrow, but it’s no longer, like, nailed on for tomorrow.
134 00:16:13.870 ⇒ 00:16:22.749 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so… by tomorrow, what do we… we want to achieve some Salesforce modeling and… and Gantt charting.
135 00:16:23.380 ⇒ 00:16:26.840 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, so Salesforce modeling, Gantt chart… .
136 00:16:27.160 ⇒ 00:16:27.630 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
137 00:16:27.630 ⇒ 00:16:30.639 Demilade Agboola: As well as the ETL plan, so those will be 3 deliverables.
138 00:16:31.230 ⇒ 00:16:31.890 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
139 00:16:33.810 ⇒ 00:16:38.450 Awaish Kumar: Okay, great. So Tom, we already discussed Magic Spoon.
140 00:16:38.920 ⇒ 00:16:54.309 Awaish Kumar: on the Magic Spoon side, like, we are hoping to… the goal is to deliver the audit report, which Dem is working on, and the Springs API pipeline, which Ashwini’s working on, and we are set to deliver that by the end of this week.
141 00:16:54.310 ⇒ 00:17:10.319 Awaish Kumar: only blocker on… we have some blocker on… in Spins API that, like, we don’t have, access to add environment variables in Prefect Cloud, so… and that… that, like, Demi is going to ask the client for that, and…
142 00:17:10.450 ⇒ 00:17:13.859 Awaish Kumar: Once that’s done, like, the Springs API pipeline will be done.
143 00:17:13.980 ⇒ 00:17:16.949 Awaish Kumar: And same, the audit report will be done also by tomorrow.
144 00:17:20.119 ⇒ 00:17:20.699 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
145 00:17:21.740 ⇒ 00:17:28.140 Awaish Kumar: And then we have, we also, like, on Hydra, we don’t have any updates from them.
146 00:17:30.140 ⇒ 00:17:33.279 Awaish Kumar: Like, I shared with Sandra on why this…
147 00:17:33.560 ⇒ 00:17:39.179 Awaish Kumar: how this project can help, like, help ISM on the business side, like…
148 00:17:39.680 ⇒ 00:17:43.439 Awaish Kumar: What kind of business questions they can answer using this
149 00:17:44.000 ⇒ 00:17:47.390 Awaish Kumar: project. But, yeah, so far.
150 00:17:47.520 ⇒ 00:17:51.159 Awaish Kumar: They haven’t responded, like, positively on that.
151 00:17:51.950 ⇒ 00:17:52.570 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
152 00:17:55.910 ⇒ 00:18:00.149 Awaish Kumar: They’re on CTA, yeah, like, we don’t have any updates.
153 00:18:00.150 ⇒ 00:18:01.940 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, nothing there either.
154 00:18:04.880 ⇒ 00:18:07.800 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so I think that’s all.
155 00:18:10.020 ⇒ 00:18:13.419 Awaish Kumar: Do we have any… anything on urban stems, Demi?
156 00:18:18.010 ⇒ 00:18:24.749 Demilade Agboola: Not yet. We plan to meet them… I plan to meet Emily today, in, like, maybe 2 hours’ time.
157 00:18:25.220 ⇒ 00:18:35.540 Demilade Agboola: So that will be a working session plus slash also just, like, figuring out what the requirement from the OpenSTEM team looks like.
158 00:18:35.880 ⇒ 00:18:43.150 Demilade Agboola: And so by tomorrow, we should be… we’ll have much more clarity on what we need, or what they need, and how we can fill that need for them.
159 00:18:43.920 ⇒ 00:18:44.590 Uttam Kumaran: Great.
160 00:18:45.810 ⇒ 00:18:47.000 Awaish Kumar: Okay, yep.

162 00:18:50.820 ⇒ 00:18:54.250 Uttam Kumaran: And then it looks like a way… it looks like we got the Emerson share for Elements, so…
163 00:18:54.250 ⇒ 00:18:56.630 Awaish Kumar: Yes, yeah, I was just reading that email.
164 00:18:56.990 ⇒ 00:18:58.050 Uttam Kumaran: Cool, perfect.
165 00:18:58.760 ⇒ 00:18:59.319 Awaish Kumar: So yeah, I mean…
166 00:18:59.320 ⇒ 00:19:03.260 Uttam Kumaran: Feel free to confirm that, and then you can send to Element Team as well.
167 00:19:04.380 ⇒ 00:19:12.120 Awaish Kumar: Okay, I will just see if I can get the database from that share, and if that’s done, I will just let the team know.
