Resource Planning & Hiring

- Client expects 30+ hours weekly commitment from Zoran
- Role will require client-facing generalist capabilities
- Timeline: 4 weeks minimum for proper hiring process
- ABC Client Transition
- Pranav taking over CSO role from Uttam
- Amber transitioning from CSO/EP hybrid to pure EP role
- Team includes Casey, Mustafa, Sam under Pranav’s management
- Client located in Austin - in-person meetings possible
- Usage-based contract with growing utilization
- One weekly stakeholder meeting + Thursday presentations
Eden Tableau-to-Omni Migration (URGENT)
- Timeline Pressure
- Tableau renewal in 9-12 days
- Two plans needed: 10-day aggressive timeline + 2-week extension option
- Robert meeting with direct stakeholder in NYC tomorrow
- Task Assignments & Priorities
- Awash: Core Omni topics setup, baseline semantic layer
- Demi: AI functionality testing and optimization
- Mustafa: AI-assisted dashboard migration, customer training materials
- Greg: Customer-facing deliverables, training delivery, project coordination
- Success Criteria

- Mobile view capability for busy executives
- Blog post opportunity with Omni for fastest migration
Meeting Management & Client Boundaries
- Eden Over-Meeting Issue
- Greg and Zoran in daily meetings with Ryan and Nitesh
- 10+ hours weekly just in meetings before actual work
- Need Robert’s guidance on pushback strategy
- Discussion planned for tomorrow’s daily meeting
- Defense Strategies
- Reference Q1 goals to decline non-aligned requests

- Meeting tomorrow morning with Mary and Joseph
- Six-month roadmap planning
- Other team members rolling off project
