    • Needs JD definition by tomorrow morning for hiring support
    • Currently doing too much solo work that could utilize Casey more effectively

    • Timeline: 4 weeks minimum for proper hiring process

    • Team includes Casey, Mustafa, Sam under Pranav’s management

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
    1. Awash: Core Omni topics setup, baseline semantic layer
    2. Demi: AI functionality testing and optimization
    3. Mustafa: AI-assisted dashboard migration, customer training materials
    4. Greg: Customer-facing deliverables, training delivery, project coordination
  • Success Criteria
    • Dashboard numbers must match Tableau exactly
    • AI demo must be impressive (“holy shit” factor)
    • Mobile view capability for busy executives
    • Blog post opportunity with Omni for fastest migration

Meeting Management & Client Boundaries

    • Discussion planned for tomorrow’s daily meeting
  • Defense Strategies
    • Reference Q1 goals to decline non-aligned requests
    • Escalate resource conflicts to Robert for ELT discussion
