4 00:01:02.610 ⇒ 00:01:08.499 Uttam Kumaran: I know, I actually… I want to catch up with you about how the drive was, but, like…
5 00:01:09.380 ⇒ 00:01:16.799 Greg Stoutenburg: I’m, like, getting back or leaving, and in between those things is mostly just, like, high-stakes meetings with minimal context.
6 00:01:19.410 ⇒ 00:01:20.359 Greg Stoutenburg: Here we go.
7 00:01:20.360 ⇒ 00:01:23.110 Uttam Kumaran: Not helped at all, but it’s, it’s good, it’s good.

9 00:01:26.470 ⇒ 00:01:29.270 Uttam Kumaran: No, it’s good, and I’m learning, I think you’re gonna see, like.
10 00:01:29.870 ⇒ 00:01:36.619 Uttam Kumaran: I’m tweaking some stuff going to next quarter, like, that’s… and it’s like, it’s gonna be sick. I have some good plans, so…

12 00:01:39.600 ⇒ 00:01:49.399 Uttam Kumaran: And then I added Pranav here, because I think he’s also… I just want to talk about something for ABC. Yeah, Pranav, I guess your question about the… that document, I mean, my biggest takeaway was, I’m like.
13 00:01:49.760 ⇒ 00:01:52.050 Uttam Kumaran: there wasn’t anything ready, so I’m like.
14 00:01:52.830 ⇒ 00:01:56.899 Uttam Kumaran: Just show them this doc if, like, the slides are taking them too long, like, whatever, you know?
15 00:01:57.450 ⇒ 00:01:58.200 Pranav: Okay.
16 00:01:58.950 ⇒ 00:02:00.780 Uttam Kumaran: But it’s… Yeah.
17 00:02:01.390 ⇒ 00:02:03.819 Pranav: Do you want to take out the slides right now? I don’t know if you saw them.
18 00:02:03.820 ⇒ 00:02:05.640 Uttam Kumaran: No, I’ll take a look right now.
19 00:02:06.200 ⇒ 00:02:06.790 Pranav: Okay.
20 00:02:19.120 ⇒ 00:02:21.760 Pranav: Yeah, cause I have my meeting with, in, like.
21 00:02:21.890 ⇒ 00:02:24.500 Pranav: 10 minutes. I feel good about this. Cool.
22 00:02:24.500 ⇒ 00:02:24.899 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, dude.
23 00:02:24.900 ⇒ 00:02:26.789 Pranav: You know, like, things are kind of internal…
24 00:02:26.790 ⇒ 00:02:32.009 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I’m gonna put the pressure on for us to get way better than we are.
25 00:02:32.190 ⇒ 00:02:33.290 Uttam Kumaran: Yup.
26 00:02:33.420 ⇒ 00:02:41.170 Uttam Kumaran: you know, I’m way more aligned, because then you’re gonna have two of these, and like, I’m telling you, this upfront work is gonna be so helpful, like.
27 00:02:41.170 ⇒ 00:02:41.570 Pranav: Yeah.
28 00:02:41.570 ⇒ 00:02:44.709 Uttam Kumaran: Versus, like, in the middle every week, like, panicking, you know?
29 00:02:45.200 ⇒ 00:02:48.229 Pranav: Yeah, and I’d rather have the panic internally than externally.
30 00:02:48.540 ⇒ 00:02:50.489 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, and that’s also where,
31 00:02:51.130 ⇒ 00:02:58.660 Uttam Kumaran: that’s why I’m like, even on some of the architecture decisions, I was like, I don’t want… I don’t want to have to… I don’t… that’s not your problem, necessarily.
32 00:02:58.820 ⇒ 00:03:02.729 Uttam Kumaran: And I know you have… you know about that, but I’m like, that’s where I want Sam…
33 00:03:03.060 ⇒ 00:03:06.869 Uttam Kumaran: I’m like, yo, some of these I’m already doing for us.
34 00:03:07.000 ⇒ 00:03:10.889 Uttam Kumaran: Through GWS. But, like, those are the things I actually, like, think that’s helpful.
35 00:03:11.020 ⇒ 00:03:19.679 Uttam Kumaran: The problem is we just, like, like, kind of wanted to present it today, so that’s why I’m, like, just trying to get us to have a sense of urgency a little bit.
36 00:03:20.610 ⇒ 00:03:21.270 Pranav: Yeah.
37 00:03:21.270 ⇒ 00:03:27.990 Uttam Kumaran: It’s okay, it’s okay. So, there’s an ABC Weekly…
38 00:03:29.350 ⇒ 00:03:32.970 Pranav: review ongoing. Yeah. I can resend it if you need it.
39 00:03:32.970 ⇒ 00:03:33.960 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, I got it, I got it.
40 00:03:36.380 ⇒ 00:03:37.320 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
41 00:03:37.860 ⇒ 00:03:38.420 Pranav: Yep.
42 00:03:47.330 ⇒ 00:03:49.230 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, how do you feel about, like, the usage?
43 00:03:50.750 ⇒ 00:04:00.590 Pranav: So, I need to update this picture. This picture’s a little bit… just, like, misleading. You had to click on the link, and then I showed them that. That’s how I do the presentation. Okay.
44 00:04:00.590 ⇒ 00:04:03.220 Uttam Kumaran: Do you want to just change this to that?
45 00:04:04.560 ⇒ 00:04:05.290 Pranav: Yeah.
46 00:04:05.290 ⇒ 00:04:08.510 Uttam Kumaran: Like, you could, you could change this to, like,
47 00:04:09.210 ⇒ 00:04:12.239 Uttam Kumaran: Like, one of those, like.
48 00:04:15.380 ⇒ 00:04:18.649 Uttam Kumaran: The layout with the thing in the middle, you know?
49 00:04:19.260 ⇒ 00:04:20.329 Uttam Kumaran: Like this.
50 00:04:25.200 ⇒ 00:04:27.240 Uttam Kumaran: That way, you can just click to it and open it.
51 00:04:27.660 ⇒ 00:04:29.460 Pranav: Okay, yeah, I’ll do that.
52 00:04:30.190 ⇒ 00:04:31.280 Pranav: And then…
53 00:04:32.320 ⇒ 00:04:33.560 Uttam Kumaran: I’ll just nuke this.
54 00:04:34.980 ⇒ 00:04:35.930 Pranav: Okay, perfect.
55 00:04:36.590 ⇒ 00:04:38.729 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool, so usage review…
56 00:04:42.570 ⇒ 00:04:45.820 Uttam Kumaran: Cool. Yeah, so one thing I also wanna… I really like…
57 00:04:47.200 ⇒ 00:04:51.820 Uttam Kumaran: I actually think if I could edit… Couple things…
58 00:04:57.210 ⇒ 00:05:02.950 Uttam Kumaran: So, I would say… New system…
59 00:05:09.300 ⇒ 00:05:17.410 Uttam Kumaran: Like, make this, like, new… Organized… I’m pressed.
60 00:05:18.650 ⇒ 00:05:19.730 Uttam Kumaran: Central Dock.
61 00:05:24.170 ⇒ 00:05:34.979 Uttam Kumaran: So, like, for example, think about, like, on your resume, right? They always say use action words, use numbers. Like, similar… similar spiel. So, like, built a new ingestion pipeline, improve accuracy.
62 00:05:36.010 ⇒ 00:05:41.489 Uttam Kumaran: what would be… what would be great here is, like, accuracy at 30% proof. This is fine, but, like…
63 00:05:42.470 ⇒ 00:05:50.270 Uttam Kumaran: And then for this one, I would just say, like… Standardized table structure… Yeah.
64 00:05:50.590 ⇒ 00:05:51.720 Uttam Kumaran: That’s a good win.
65 00:05:52.370 ⇒ 00:05:57.580 Uttam Kumaran: And then my question on this is, like.
66 00:05:58.010 ⇒ 00:06:00.489 Uttam Kumaran: Is this just purely, like, safety thing?
67 00:06:00.810 ⇒ 00:06:04.920 Uttam Kumaran: Like, why not… Yeah.
68 00:06:05.540 ⇒ 00:06:25.250 Pranav: Yeah, so they’re still making some, like, updates to the central docs. Like, today what I’m gonna tell them is, like, hey, these are, like, today, like, let’s finalize, like, any updates that your trainers are making to the central docs. And then so we can do, like, a final lock on those, and then re-embed everything.
69 00:06:25.330 ⇒ 00:06:27.550 Pranav: And then have the QA version ready.
70 00:06:28.930 ⇒ 00:06:29.810 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
71 00:06:31.850 ⇒ 00:06:32.580 Uttam Kumaran: Cool.
72 00:06:33.970 ⇒ 00:06:39.690 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think, yeah, I mean, I think just, like, hype them up about this. I mean, I think this is, like, sick.
73 00:06:40.410 ⇒ 00:06:47.509 Uttam Kumaran: I think, like, I’m happy to come in and be like, yeah, I mean, this is, like, we’re in a, like, a much better spot.
74 00:06:47.800 ⇒ 00:06:54.570 Uttam Kumaran: And, like, I… I feel like, dude, if this is working on Monday, then cut over, because you can always, like, you could cut back.
75 00:06:55.030 ⇒ 00:06:59.149 Uttam Kumaran: So, like, if it’s working, just do it, like, whatever.
76 00:06:59.150 ⇒ 00:07:09.040 Pranav: Yeah, I don’t… I’m not gonna wait until Friday next week to do it, like, it’ll probably happen on… like, I don’t think there’s that much that they really need to QA, so, like, on Monday, late day, or Tuesday, I’ll do it.
77 00:07:09.410 ⇒ 00:07:09.970 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
78 00:07:11.110 ⇒ 00:07:12.530 Uttam Kumaran: Great.
79 00:07:17.750 ⇒ 00:07:18.650 Uttam Kumaran: Nice.
80 00:07:20.920 ⇒ 00:07:21.810 Uttam Kumaran: Nice.
81 00:07:28.060 ⇒ 00:07:29.470 Uttam Kumaran: Cool, this is great.
82 00:07:31.090 ⇒ 00:07:39.930 Pranav: Okay. Yeah, and then for each of these two, I’m just gonna talk into more detail, because this is the first time that they’re hearing about, like, the features that I’m gonna be pushing out, so they may ask, like.
83 00:07:40.560 ⇒ 00:07:46.840 Pranav: they’ll ask a lot of questions, right? And I’m gonna try to get them to ask a lot of questions. I feel like we’ve really… Cool.
84 00:07:47.040 ⇒ 00:07:48.810 Pranav: We really kind of, like.
85 00:07:48.810 ⇒ 00:07:49.300 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
86 00:07:49.300 ⇒ 00:07:51.560 Pranav: rigorously thought about this, right? So, I can answer whatever.
87 00:07:51.560 ⇒ 00:07:57.669 Uttam Kumaran: So, like, I… that’s why I wanted, like, maybe… like, a couple of things that they’re gonna… I also want you, like…
88 00:07:58.430 ⇒ 00:08:03.010 Uttam Kumaran: I’m almost, like, thinking about next… this is where I’m like.
89 00:08:03.790 ⇒ 00:08:15.069 Uttam Kumaran: thinking about also what you’re… what you’re about to present, but, like, there’s a couple of other things they’ve asked for. For example, they… Yvette is interested in, like, that phone call thing. Like, can we put Andy behind a phone?
90 00:08:15.470 ⇒ 00:08:19.519 Uttam Kumaran: She’s gonna… she’s interested in that. I’m also interested in, like.
91 00:08:19.730 ⇒ 00:08:22.679 Uttam Kumaran: Hey, can we bring the thing to 3 seconds, and, like.
92 00:08:22.840 ⇒ 00:08:25.030 Uttam Kumaran: I think I have some ideas for that.
93 00:08:25.160 ⇒ 00:08:29.840 Uttam Kumaran: So I’m wondering, like If you can… if you wanna, like.
94 00:08:30.920 ⇒ 00:08:44.110 Uttam Kumaran: present that we’re, like, continuing to refine these ideas and more, or if you, like, feel like you don’t want to confuse and you want to lock these in. I mean, I do agree, I think these are the top two, but, like.
95 00:08:44.340 ⇒ 00:08:45.190 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
96 00:08:45.920 ⇒ 00:08:50.760 Pranav: I think it’s kind of like, I think, maybe feedback you gave, like, earlier this week or last week, kind of…
97 00:08:51.000 ⇒ 00:08:56.360 Pranav: Here are the problems we’re seeing, here are solutions that we were seeing, these are the ones that we recommend.
98 00:08:56.360 ⇒ 00:08:56.800 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
99 00:08:56.800 ⇒ 00:09:14.840 Pranav: And so, I feel like we’ve kind of talked about the problems a lot. Yeah. I’ve talked about, like, different solutions, they brought up solutions. Now what I’m doing is presenting the solutions that I think are best. But I agree with what you’re saying, like, they’re gonna bring up some other stuff that they came up with. They may be like, why don’t we do this, why don’t we do that?
100 00:09:15.190 ⇒ 00:09:20.409 Pranav: And then I’ll just… I have a good argument, basically, to say, like, well, you know, we could, but we’re…
101 00:09:20.530 ⇒ 00:09:24.579 Pranav: We feel like these ones are gonna drive accuracy the most, these ones are gonna…
102 00:09:24.580 ⇒ 00:09:25.020 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
103 00:09:25.020 ⇒ 00:09:26.159 Pranav: Drive… improve that.
104 00:09:26.160 ⇒ 00:09:27.230 Uttam Kumaran: Adoption, yeah.
105 00:09:27.230 ⇒ 00:09:28.859 Pranav: And adoption, which is most important.
106 00:09:29.020 ⇒ 00:09:31.300 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think this is great,
107 00:09:32.870 ⇒ 00:09:36.500 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I would say, like, the phone call thing is, like, more wishlist.
108 00:09:36.990 ⇒ 00:09:37.700 Pranav: Yeah.
109 00:09:37.700 ⇒ 00:09:42.930 Uttam Kumaran: is like, hey, like, yo, someone just go, like, spend 2 hours to see if you can get something running. I think the…
110 00:09:43.540 ⇒ 00:09:54.550 Pranav: It also… one thing that I’ve realized with what they’re saying, too, is that their team gets very skittish about low accuracy, or when something breaks. Yes. And so, if we get… Yeah, okay, fair, fair.
111 00:09:54.730 ⇒ 00:09:59.609 Uttam Kumaran: Fair, fair, I hear you, I hear you, yeah, you’re right. You’re, like, we should focus on nailing that.
112 00:10:00.030 ⇒ 00:10:00.720 Pranav: Yeah.
113 00:10:00.720 ⇒ 00:10:02.069 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Okay.
114 00:10:03.370 ⇒ 00:10:05.220 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, and then, dude, I,
115 00:10:05.710 ⇒ 00:10:12.090 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, if we talk for 10-15 minutes, like, I have some other things that we can try for speed.
116 00:10:12.340 ⇒ 00:10:15.720 Uttam Kumaran: Like, like, I think that’s another…
117 00:10:16.100 ⇒ 00:10:27.030 Uttam Kumaran: I agree that, like, accuracy and, like, the system working, I think exactly the way you just explained it, like, hammer that in order to say, like, speed is important, but, like.
118 00:10:27.710 ⇒ 00:10:33.099 Uttam Kumaran: it doesn’t matter if you get the wrong answer faster, or an error faster, right?
119 00:10:33.100 ⇒ 00:10:33.440 Pranav: That’s.
120 00:10:33.440 ⇒ 00:10:35.450 Uttam Kumaran: Great. That’s the way you’re thinking about it is great.
121 00:10:36.240 ⇒ 00:10:37.319 Pranav: Okay, cool.
122 00:10:38.600 ⇒ 00:10:39.140 Uttam Kumaran: Alright.
123 00:10:39.140 ⇒ 00:10:42.920 Pranav: Yeah, let me just finish up some last-minute things, and then, hop into that call.
124 00:10:43.180 ⇒ 00:10:43.740 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
125 00:10:44.260 ⇒ 00:10:45.469 Pranav: Cool. Alright, see you guys.
126 00:10:46.120 ⇒ 00:10:46.870 Greg Stoutenburg: Yep.
127 00:10:48.730 ⇒ 00:10:52.500 Greg Stoutenburg: Alright, I need to leave in…
128 00:10:52.810 ⇒ 00:11:01.790 Greg Stoutenburg: 10… 15 minutes to get my kids from school. Okay. But let me… let me just show you what I’ve updated in linear, and
129 00:11:03.030 ⇒ 00:11:08.550 Greg Stoutenburg: yeah, in progress, priority, we’ll put high, she’ll like seeing that.
130 00:11:09.040 ⇒ 00:11:13.779 Greg Stoutenburg: Lead will be me. Yep. Okay, let’s go…
131 00:11:20.520 ⇒ 00:11:23.230 Greg Stoutenburg: Navigation and linear can be funny sometimes.
132 00:11:33.300 ⇒ 00:11:34.130 Greg Stoutenburg: Okay.
133 00:11:41.280 ⇒ 00:11:42.960 Greg Stoutenburg: Alright, so…
134 00:11:44.720 ⇒ 00:11:55.819 Greg Stoutenburg: I wanted to keep this at the right level of detail to be informative, so this is the project in linear. For the pilot, that’s what we’re in now.
135 00:11:56.070 ⇒ 00:11:59.589 Greg Stoutenburg: Topics and draft dashboards, so if we…
136 00:12:00.050 ⇒ 00:12:07.340 Greg Stoutenburg: Click into here, and it said a target date of April 21st, because that’s… that would just take us out, as the, as the doc said.
137 00:12:07.870 ⇒ 00:12:12.160 Uttam Kumaran: The high-level initiative is this Omni plan, and then, okay, so we’re in the pilot now, okay, I’m following.
138 00:12:12.160 ⇒ 00:12:23.389 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah, so this is, so it looks like Bea set this up, as far as, like, the structure of it. So the OmniPlan is… this is the project level view, and then under this, these are all milestones. Well, actually, it looks like…
139 00:12:23.620 ⇒ 00:12:25.990 Greg Stoutenburg: Okay, well, I don’t even know what to call this level.
140 00:12:25.990 ⇒ 00:12:26.810 Uttam Kumaran: It’s an initiative.
141 00:12:26.810 ⇒ 00:12:29.920 Greg Stoutenburg: Projects, okay, so there’s an initiative, these are projects, so…
142 00:12:29.920 ⇒ 00:12:30.430 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.
143 00:12:30.430 ⇒ 00:12:38.669 Greg Stoutenburg: So within the pilot, that’s the thing that we care about now. I put a due date of April 21st to get to the end of it. I do think that that is realistic.
144 00:12:38.980 ⇒ 00:12:43.679 Greg Stoutenburg: And then the milestones are, like, this is the one that we care about most right now, so…
145 00:12:43.680 ⇒ 00:12:47.909 Uttam Kumaran: So I’m gonna move the start date, to… the 9th?
146 00:12:47.910 ⇒ 00:12:52.470 Greg Stoutenburg: Oh yeah, that should go back. Thank you. Cool. Good catch. Alright.
147 00:12:53.410 ⇒ 00:12:58.720 Greg Stoutenburg: So then the milestones will be, so getting the pilot live,
148 00:12:58.850 ⇒ 00:13:01.979 Greg Stoutenburg: This one doesn’t show the foundation, though.
149 00:13:02.660 ⇒ 00:13:05.610 Greg Stoutenburg: And that’s something that we want to say that we already ticked.
150 00:13:05.950 ⇒ 00:13:07.040 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.
151 00:13:07.830 ⇒ 00:13:09.480 Uttam Kumaran: Well, there’s just… yeah.
152 00:13:10.020 ⇒ 00:13:10.990 Greg Stoutenburg: Let’s create it now.
153 00:13:11.160 ⇒ 00:13:11.700 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
154 00:13:17.730 ⇒ 00:13:18.730 Greg Stoutenburg: Wait, actually, that sucks.
155 00:13:18.730 ⇒ 00:13:23.220 Uttam Kumaran: This bottom thing is, like… Tax. What is this thing?
156 00:13:24.500 ⇒ 00:13:25.970 Greg Stoutenburg: Just delete… can we delete it?
157 00:13:25.970 ⇒ 00:13:26.560 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
158 00:13:26.800 ⇒ 00:13:32.950 Greg Stoutenburg: Perfect. Yeah, all these are descriptions, rather than lists of issues, unfortunately.
159 00:13:33.140 ⇒ 00:13:33.990 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, okay.
160 00:13:34.200 ⇒ 00:13:35.060 Greg Stoutenburg: Was there a…
161 00:13:35.060 ⇒ 00:13:39.799 Uttam Kumaran: I think if you click to the right of the milestone, you click… it’ll… you click on the…
162 00:13:41.780 ⇒ 00:13:42.910 Greg Stoutenburg: I’m gonna say that’s done.
163 00:13:43.330 ⇒ 00:13:49.499 Uttam Kumaran: like, issues are associated with milestones, and I think, yeah, I see, like, The Pilot Live is 5%.
164 00:13:49.760 ⇒ 00:13:53.810 Uttam Kumaran: Done, and then, okay, I’m seeing the pilot topics and drafts.
165 00:13:53.810 ⇒ 00:13:57.030 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah. Okay, now from the initiative view.
166 00:13:57.400 ⇒ 00:13:57.920 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
167 00:13:58.260 ⇒ 00:14:00.290 Greg Stoutenburg: Foundation and pilot scope is completed.
168 00:14:01.740 ⇒ 00:14:03.630 Greg Stoutenburg: In the next project, then.
169 00:14:03.630 ⇒ 00:14:04.290 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.
170 00:14:04.290 ⇒ 00:14:10.079 Greg Stoutenburg: The pilot itself, topics and draft dashboards, that’s where we’re in now, this is what we want to talk to Shani about.
171 00:14:11.010 ⇒ 00:14:21.110 Greg Stoutenburg: these are the issues I set up using Cursor, and then did a review. It brought in a bunch of stuff that sort of crossed a few milestones, so then I did a lot of, like, deleting and revising.
172 00:14:21.380 ⇒ 00:14:27.359 Greg Stoutenburg: But basically, the pattern that I had it set up was, was get…
173 00:14:27.570 ⇒ 00:14:29.979 Greg Stoutenburg: Get metric definitions in place.
174 00:14:30.850 ⇒ 00:14:40.439 Greg Stoutenburg: Create topics for retail, create… create topic for retail, create topic for wholesale, create dashboard for retail, create dashboard for wholesale. Great. Get Blobby working for them.
175 00:14:40.710 ⇒ 00:14:41.750 Greg Stoutenburg: Great. Cuteway.
176 00:14:43.360 ⇒ 00:15:02.729 Greg Stoutenburg: A few others came in here based on other context or questions, like… like, you know, an issue on wholesale mark, getting tags right, partner grain, finance alignment. So… something I would like from you is to look at these, and anywhere you’re like, no, this is out of scope, this is out of scope, or like, this is redundant, like, let’s just delete them.
177 00:15:03.020 ⇒ 00:15:03.440 Uttam Kumaran: Yay.
178 00:15:03.440 ⇒ 00:15:06.719 Greg Stoutenburg: Because there were some where it looked to me like.
179 00:15:07.130 ⇒ 00:15:11.889 Greg Stoutenburg: Like, the data sources that we’ve committed to using for retail and wholesale
180 00:15:12.290 ⇒ 00:15:15.379 Greg Stoutenburg: Like, this is pretty explicit, like, the pilot data is this.
181 00:15:15.740 ⇒ 00:15:17.800 Greg Stoutenburg: So, we want it to say this.
182 00:15:18.170 ⇒ 00:15:21.249 Greg Stoutenburg: Unless I’m mistaken, there’s some additional source that should come in.
183 00:15:22.140 ⇒ 00:15:22.970 Uttam Kumaran: That’s fine.
184 00:15:22.970 ⇒ 00:15:23.910 Greg Stoutenburg: Does that make sense? Okay.
185 00:15:23.910 ⇒ 00:15:24.460 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
186 00:15:24.830 ⇒ 00:15:25.530 Greg Stoutenburg: Alright.
187 00:15:26.150 ⇒ 00:15:27.190 Uttam Kumaran: So… That’s fine.
188 00:15:27.270 ⇒ 00:15:29.930 Greg Stoutenburg: Test Bobby, lobby, okay.
189 00:15:30.370 ⇒ 00:15:33.130 Greg Stoutenburg: That’ll be in progress. Actually, I should set that as to-do.
190 00:15:35.250 ⇒ 00:15:41.900 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so some of these, I’m almost like… what… we’re… like, the topic for wholesale, I feel like, is this week.
191 00:15:42.670 ⇒ 00:15:45.059 Uttam Kumaran: Create the wholesale dashboard.
192 00:15:45.250 ⇒ 00:15:53.259 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, QA dashboards, Retail Mart, Wholesale Mart… Validate pilot… pilot questions…
193 00:15:53.880 ⇒ 00:15:57.969 Uttam Kumaran: So then what I’m gonna do is change this to, like, status…
194 00:15:58.360 ⇒ 00:16:02.540 Uttam Kumaran: Next cycle. So let’s… let’s toss some into next cycle.
195 00:16:02.890 ⇒ 00:16:09.919 Uttam Kumaran: That way we can show, like, what’s in progress, what’s to do, what’s next cycle, and what’s in the backlog. That’ll be perfect.
196 00:16:10.540 ⇒ 00:16:14.480 Greg Stoutenburg: So, will that help with, like, showing it on a linear view?
197 00:16:15.740 ⇒ 00:16:21.660 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, I, like… I assume… are you… well, are you gonna be showing…
198 00:16:22.040 ⇒ 00:16:23.430 Uttam Kumaran: Are you gonna be sh- I, like…
199 00:16:23.640 ⇒ 00:16:25.090 Uttam Kumaran: Are you gonna be sharing this?
200 00:16:26.060 ⇒ 00:16:31.410 Greg Stoutenburg: My plan wasn’t to show this view, because I think then she’d want to click into things maybe we don’t want her to click into.
201 00:16:32.560 ⇒ 00:16:33.430 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah.
202 00:16:36.150 ⇒ 00:16:38.779 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know, I’m kind of like…
203 00:16:39.930 ⇒ 00:16:42.560 Uttam Kumaran: This is kind of a way to show…
204 00:16:42.690 ⇒ 00:16:47.579 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, you told me, like, I kinda think this shows that we are really well planned.
205 00:16:47.810 ⇒ 00:16:48.430 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah.
206 00:16:49.150 ⇒ 00:16:49.710 Uttam Kumaran: If you just…
207 00:16:49.710 ⇒ 00:16:50.550 Greg Stoutenburg: She’ll like that?
208 00:16:50.550 ⇒ 00:16:54.890 Uttam Kumaran: through the initiative. Yeah, I think probably just, like, hide the… hide the left bar.
209 00:16:55.140 ⇒ 00:16:58.500 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. And then, can you do that? Yeah.
210 00:16:59.060 ⇒ 00:17:01.290 Greg Stoutenburg: Can I go all the way? There we go. Yeah, okay.
211 00:17:01.290 ⇒ 00:17:05.530 Uttam Kumaran: Hide the left bar and walk us through the initial… yeah, like, she’s never seen linear before, so…
212 00:17:05.530 ⇒ 00:17:06.820 Greg Stoutenburg: Just stop, just start here.
213 00:17:06.829 ⇒ 00:17:08.299 Uttam Kumaran: I think you start here…
214 00:17:08.899 ⇒ 00:17:14.169 Uttam Kumaran: mention, like, here we are, yeah. And then just, like, make sure there’s priority and,
215 00:17:15.029 ⇒ 00:17:18.929 Uttam Kumaran: Like, yeah, make sure some of these are filled out, even though we don’t use these.
216 00:17:18.930 ⇒ 00:17:24.800 Greg Stoutenburg: I know. I was… I was… well, that’s what I was saying, I think, before I even started my screen share, like, let’s put the priority for high.
217 00:17:24.800 ⇒ 00:17:27.740 Uttam Kumaran: I’m looking at the details right now, so I think this is fine.
218 00:17:27.740 ⇒ 00:17:30.760 Greg Stoutenburg: She’ll like high as the priority.
219 00:17:31.520 ⇒ 00:17:36.920 Greg Stoutenburg: So even that target date is gonna be… we’ll set that’s tomorrow. That’s how we show that we’re ahead, and it’s 100% done.
220 00:17:37.190 ⇒ 00:17:38.299 Greg Stoutenburg: So that’s cool.
221 00:17:38.450 ⇒ 00:17:41.670 Greg Stoutenburg: Alright, topics…
222 00:17:42.060 ⇒ 00:17:46.480 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah. Can you put an update on there? Does it make that thing green?
223 00:17:49.140 ⇒ 00:17:50.670 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, whatever.
224 00:17:50.830 ⇒ 00:17:55.920 Uttam Kumaran: Or you could just maybe write something about, like, hey, I’m, like, yeah, yeah, whatever.
225 00:18:00.980 ⇒ 00:18:06.959 Uttam Kumaran: Look, if people want… it’s like, kill people with kindness, they want to see some organization, and that’s what people talk about.
226 00:18:06.960 ⇒ 00:18:12.840 Greg Stoutenburg: Yep. And we’re just… I mean, that’s what these meetings… that’s what the meetings are with the client, right? It’s like a performance. Performance, and then what’s next?
227 00:18:13.000 ⇒ 00:18:22.000 Uttam Kumaran: Which is, like, I’m happy and not happy, I’m like, I’m happy about, and I’m like, yo, can we talk about actually some fun data stuff at some point?
228 00:18:22.000 ⇒ 00:18:34.390 Greg Stoutenburg: Everything’s always a show. Having connected to Snowflake, and Aligned on… Data… something.
229 00:18:34.630 ⇒ 00:18:39.330 Greg Stoutenburg: Warehouse. No. Data platform documentation, that’s what we call it.
230 00:19:01.750 ⇒ 00:19:02.420 Greg Stoutenburg: Okay.
231 00:19:07.470 ⇒ 00:19:08.730 Greg Stoutenburg: Okay, let’s go back.
232 00:19:09.160 ⇒ 00:19:10.310 Greg Stoutenburg: Sweet!
233 00:19:11.180 ⇒ 00:19:17.030 Greg Stoutenburg: Okay, well, let’s do this. Gotta do this one now. This one has to also be on track.
234 00:19:32.530 ⇒ 00:19:35.539 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah, I’ll be just brief about it, just to get that to show up.
235 00:19:36.340 ⇒ 00:19:44.279 Greg Stoutenburg: Cool. Okay. Alright, so that’s that. Got due dates, topics and draft dashboards, got our update… oh, that’s cool.
236 00:19:44.750 ⇒ 00:19:46.520 Greg Stoutenburg: Alright.
237 00:19:47.800 ⇒ 00:19:49.029 Greg Stoutenburg: for the Pilot Live.
238 00:19:49.030 ⇒ 00:19:57.689 Uttam Kumaran: I was gonna say, we’re gonna use… we’re gonna use this a lot more, because it’s actually so easy to now keep this up-to-date with cursor transcripts and everything, so… Yeah. Yeah.
239 00:19:57.840 ⇒ 00:19:58.940 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah.
240 00:19:58.940 ⇒ 00:20:04.000 Uttam Kumaran: And then, so I guess on this, I was like, anything you want to move into… to do is basically this week.
241 00:20:04.200 ⇒ 00:20:08.150 Uttam Kumaran: Anything you want to move into next week, and then the rest we can keep in backlog.
242 00:20:09.140 ⇒ 00:20:13.819 Greg Stoutenburg: So, to-do would be… so, since this is the second phase that should start Monday.
243 00:20:13.960 ⇒ 00:20:14.790 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay.
244 00:20:15.170 ⇒ 00:20:15.960 Uttam Kumaran: and so…
245 00:20:16.210 ⇒ 00:20:23.629 Greg Stoutenburg: Something that… something linear should… cursor should just do this for us, right? Is, like, anywhere there’s a due date, it should put it in the correct cycle. I think I’ll just tell it to do that now.
246 00:20:25.290 ⇒ 00:20:25.860 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
247 00:20:36.310 ⇒ 00:20:40.350 Uttam Kumaran: what is it, March 19th? So yeah, some of these are next week, right? Yeah.
248 00:20:49.150 ⇒ 00:20:49.770 Greg Stoutenburg: Okay.
249 00:20:50.990 ⇒ 00:20:55.029 Greg Stoutenburg: Alright, Chris will hopefully figure that out now.
250 00:20:55.390 ⇒ 00:21:07.880 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah, so this is… yeah, one of the things I wanted to show is that this shows a mix of the way that I would think about it, which is, like, the work for the retail dashboard, right? So that’s gonna be the backend stuff, that’s gonna be the modeling, then that’s gonna be Amber builds it.
251 00:21:08.260 ⇒ 00:21:14.599 Greg Stoutenburg: And then, separate would be, okay, now the review for that, okay, now,
252 00:21:14.730 ⇒ 00:21:23.859 Greg Stoutenburg: asking blobby questions about it. It combines that with some of this other, you know, like, back-end stuff, like I was mentioning before. Like, work on a wholesale mark, for example.
253 00:21:27.290 ⇒ 00:21:31.370 Greg Stoutenburg: So, does that look right to you? Like… Retail mark.
254 00:21:32.640 ⇒ 00:21:36.980 Greg Stoutenburg: Validate, Walmart point of sale, OMS join. Does that seem right?
255 00:21:41.690 ⇒ 00:21:42.839 Greg Stoutenburg: Hey, Tom, can you hear me?
256 00:21:42.840 ⇒ 00:21:44.770 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I’m sorry, I’m just thinking.
257 00:21:44.770 ⇒ 00:21:45.270 Greg Stoutenburg: Okay.
258 00:21:45.820 ⇒ 00:21:47.170 Greg Stoutenburg: I wasn’t sure if you froze on my end.
259 00:21:48.520 ⇒ 00:21:51.239 Greg Stoutenburg: The reason I’m asking is because if I look at…
260 00:21:52.020 ⇒ 00:21:54.589 Greg Stoutenburg: Like, if I look at retail…
261 00:21:54.590 ⇒ 00:22:01.419 Uttam Kumaran: I think that’s fine, I think that’s fine. Like, I don’t think we’re gonna get asked. I think that’s… that makes sense. I think, thinking about it, like, the words she’s gonna know is, like.
262 00:22:01.640 ⇒ 00:22:10.039 Uttam Kumaran: marts, Topics, dashboards, blobby, you know, so, like, those, yeah, and then adoption, and, like.
263 00:22:10.900 ⇒ 00:22:20.859 Greg Stoutenburg: And Amber’s not gonna get confused by this, though, like, next week, when I’m, like, when I assign it, if I’m looking at the wrong mark, like, that says, Retail Fact Walmart only sales.
264 00:22:20.860 ⇒ 00:22:28.100 Uttam Kumaran: I think, like, if you look at… if you look at the top… I feel like you should assign the topics… the topic task to her, but if they’re joins…
265 00:22:28.730 ⇒ 00:22:36.000 Uttam Kumaran: Ensure brought… Ensure… What is… oh, you know, it said Broadmarts, Broadmarts.
266 00:22:36.920 ⇒ 00:22:38.890 Greg Stoutenburg: Oh, yeah. Broadmarts.
267 00:22:38.890 ⇒ 00:22:48.269 Uttam Kumaran: Retail model support OmniPilot retail questions, including total Walmart plus order management, where applicable. Yeah, I think this is fine. I think she’s okay. Yeah.
268 00:22:48.500 ⇒ 00:22:49.230 Greg Stoutenburg: Okay.
269 00:22:49.720 ⇒ 00:22:50.540 Greg Stoutenburg: Okay.
270 00:22:51.950 ⇒ 00:22:52.810 Greg Stoutenburg: Alright.
271 00:22:53.730 ⇒ 00:22:55.379 Greg Stoutenburg: I’ll leave that in place.
272 00:22:56.170 ⇒ 00:22:58.400 Greg Stoutenburg: Let me make sure the other one doesn’t say something similar.
273 00:23:01.230 ⇒ 00:23:06.259 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, and this, so this one on the right, so this is the created date, I’ll do that.
274 00:23:21.850 ⇒ 00:23:23.070 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
275 00:23:27.940 ⇒ 00:23:29.819 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah, I feel pretty good.
276 00:23:29.820 ⇒ 00:23:30.540 Greg Stoutenburg: Okay.
277 00:23:31.810 ⇒ 00:23:43.899 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, if you just want to make sure that things are in the right section, then I think this is perfect, and I would love… I just think, like, she may ask about when are… when am I… her and Dan getting, like.
278 00:23:44.210 ⇒ 00:23:46.619 Uttam Kumaran: A meeting to, like, walk through it.
279 00:23:47.600 ⇒ 00:23:51.550 Uttam Kumaran: So, I think she’s gonna also ask, like,
280 00:23:51.700 ⇒ 00:23:54.899 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, when are the… when are each of the dashboards coming out?
281 00:23:55.100 ⇒ 00:23:55.540 Greg Stoutenburg: Yep.
282 00:23:55.540 ⇒ 00:24:03.269 Uttam Kumaran: And then she may ask, like, when can I feel confident that Blobby is, like, accurate? Those are some questions she may ask, you know?
283 00:24:03.270 ⇒ 00:24:15.269 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah, so the ways I’d want to answer those would be, that I’ll be asking her for feedback regularly, because she did say that she wants this. I’ll ask her for feedback regularly for things that are not fully functional.
284 00:24:15.270 ⇒ 00:24:28.589 Greg Stoutenburg: And make sure, like, you’re okay with that, right? You know, and ask for that, and just understand, like, it’s a feedback session. As far as being able to start bringing people in when we know that retail and wholesale are, like, done-done.
285 00:24:28.590 ⇒ 00:24:33.589 Greg Stoutenburg: That’s intended to be the end of this project. So that’s the week that concludes April 21st.
286 00:24:35.160 ⇒ 00:24:36.680 Uttam Kumaran: Hmm, okay, okay.
287 00:24:38.420 ⇒ 00:24:41.829 Greg Stoutenburg: And then, anything from there is, you know, expansion into the other
288 00:24:42.010 ⇒ 00:24:47.100 Greg Stoutenburg: expansion into the other topics. I mean, sorry, other dashboards and things, so…
289 00:24:47.610 ⇒ 00:25:02.570 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah, April… whoop, sorry, sorry, let me… let me go back and revise what I just said. Did I miss a date on here? No, okay. Week of April 10th is intended to be when she can look at retail and wholesale, and bring in Dan.
290 00:25:02.570 ⇒ 00:25:08.780 Greg Stoutenburg: And go, okay, look, Blobby’s amazing, it works here, and then we move on to the next phase.
291 00:25:09.490 ⇒ 00:25:10.160 Greg Stoutenburg: Yeah.
292 00:25:10.520 ⇒ 00:25:11.310 Greg Stoutenburg: Yep.
