2 00:00:14.410 ⇒ 00:00:15.030 Mustafa Raja: Hey.
3 00:00:15.870 ⇒ 00:00:16.940 Brylle Girang: How are you doing?
4 00:00:17.230 ⇒ 00:00:18.120 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I’m good.
5 00:00:21.720 ⇒ 00:00:24.299 Brylle Girang: I think, a little busy with client work.
6 00:00:25.230 ⇒ 00:00:29.040 Mustafa Raja: Yeah… A little more than a little.
7 00:00:29.040 ⇒ 00:00:31.600 Brylle Girang: How do you call this? Welcome back!
8 00:00:31.600 ⇒ 00:00:37.339 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, yeah, it’s good to be back, it’s good to be, working again.
9 00:00:37.440 ⇒ 00:00:39.120 Brylle Girang: It’s good to be grinding again.
10 00:00:39.120 ⇒ 00:00:39.870 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.
11 00:00:42.100 ⇒ 00:00:45.950 Brylle Girang: Cool, Amber will be joining shortly, she just left a message.
12 00:00:45.950 ⇒ 00:00:47.019 Mustafa Raja: Born. Right.
13 00:00:53.130 ⇒ 00:00:54.090 Brylle Girang: Hi, Amber.
14 00:00:56.050 ⇒ 00:00:57.059 Brylle Girang: How are you doing?
15 00:00:57.430 ⇒ 00:01:03.240 Amber Lin: I’m good. Morning just started. Lots of calls coming into work.
16 00:01:03.930 ⇒ 00:01:04.730 Brylle Girang: Yeah, this…
17 00:01:04.739 ⇒ 00:01:05.219 Amber Lin: True.
18 00:01:05.220 ⇒ 00:01:06.720 Brylle Girang: I just wanted to make sure that, you know…
19 00:01:06.720 ⇒ 00:01:07.070 Amber Lin: Okay.
20 00:01:07.070 ⇒ 00:01:09.889 Brylle Girang: We get to meet as a group and clarify any.
21 00:01:09.890 ⇒ 00:01:10.430 Amber Lin: Yeah.
22 00:01:10.430 ⇒ 00:01:26.990 Brylle Girang: But, I think high-level updates on my end, certifications are ongoing. I think Omni is in a really good place. Garrett passed, Robert passed, we’re down to. Greg is waiting for his results.
23 00:01:26.990 ⇒ 00:01:27.490 Amber Lin: Okay.
24 00:01:27.490 ⇒ 00:01:33.249 Brylle Girang: I guess one thing that I’m not hearing… one person that I’m not hearing from is Jasmine.
25 00:01:33.420 ⇒ 00:01:34.670 Brylle Girang: And I think…
26 00:01:34.670 ⇒ 00:01:35.080 Amber Lin: Yeah.
27 00:01:35.080 ⇒ 00:01:37.460 Brylle Girang: It’s going to be really important here, especially.
28 00:01:37.460 ⇒ 00:01:44.849 Amber Lin: Yeah, it’s true. I just sent a message, it’s me, Avid Jasmine, that is…
29 00:01:44.850 ⇒ 00:01:54.650 Amber Lin: like, pending. I don’t want us three to just take the exam. I need us to, like, read the video, so I just send a message checking on the progress.
30 00:01:54.650 ⇒ 00:02:06.310 Amber Lin: And I’m likely meeting with her in person today, so I’ll check again, but she wants to do it, I know that, because she’s having to work on a lot of Omni stuff, so…
31 00:02:06.340 ⇒ 00:02:10.020 Amber Lin: I’ll just push her on doing it a little faster.
32 00:02:10.240 ⇒ 00:02:12.159 Brylle Girang: Okay, okay, cool, that’s cool.
33 00:02:12.300 ⇒ 00:02:21.250 Brylle Girang: Okay, I think I’m feeling pretty good on the Omni side of things, so great job there, Amber. I really like how you’re on top of things when it comes to Omni.
34 00:02:21.420 ⇒ 00:02:29.280 Brylle Girang: Especially doing… doing… doing the extracurricular stuff, such as the tracking, the notion tracking page. That’s… that’s really helpful.
35 00:02:29.520 ⇒ 00:02:38.649 Brylle Girang: For AI and data, Snowflake, has lower progress on our end, I understand. One thing that’s blocking it is the… the…
36 00:02:38.850 ⇒ 00:02:50.149 Brylle Girang: the poor quality of the roadmap that I presented, Mustafa. I think Omni was a better, like, roadmap, because we had direct access to the stuff that we needed there.
37 00:02:50.370 ⇒ 00:02:56.010 Brylle Girang: And Omni’s, like, plan, certification plan is a lot clearer than Snowflake.
38 00:02:56.330 ⇒ 00:03:04.629 Brylle Girang: I think Snowflake’s path is a bit ambiguous, if we don’t, like, really dive deep into the certification, into the course.
39 00:03:05.020 ⇒ 00:03:11.460 Brylle Girang: And I’m working on, like, the updates needed on the certification roadmaps, just to make sure that we get people rolling.
40 00:03:12.300 ⇒ 00:03:15.289 Brylle Girang: But yeah, what are your thoughts there, Mustafa?
41 00:03:16.580 ⇒ 00:03:33.410 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, once we get, once we get the, roadmap clear, I can start, nudging people, to, get started on this, certification, and I’ll take inspiration from Amber’s, approach there.
42 00:03:33.450 ⇒ 00:03:38.360 Mustafa Raja: I think she’s done a great job, in pushing for Omni.
43 00:03:38.860 ⇒ 00:03:51.530 Brylle Girang: Yeah, and feel free to, you know, adjust. I think what Amber did was especially suitable for how the strategy team communicates and works. I think, you know, with data and AI, people are…
44 00:03:51.860 ⇒ 00:03:53.450 Brylle Girang: a bit reserved?
45 00:03:53.560 ⇒ 00:04:02.349 Brylle Girang: And they’re not as, you know, as… how do you call this? I’m trying to, like, think of a word, but they’re not as conversational as a strategy.
46 00:04:02.440 ⇒ 00:04:17.369 Brylle Girang: So, some things that Amber might be experimenting on my network with the AI data folks, but you do you. I think you have the freedom to do whatever you think that the service lines would need, and what the service lines would think would be helpful.
47 00:04:17.899 ⇒ 00:04:18.449 Mustafa Raja: Yep.
48 00:04:18.450 ⇒ 00:04:25.529 Brylle Girang: Okay, that’s, like, the first OKR certification, something that we’re really pushing really hard on.
49 00:04:25.930 ⇒ 00:04:40.520 Brylle Girang: When it comes to the second OKR, the foundation modules, this has been super delayed. We were supposed to, like, launch last week, but we were trying to prepare the platform. We’re trying to, like, build our own LMS out of the box.
50 00:04:40.530 ⇒ 00:04:50.099 Brylle Girang: But I just wanted to, like, give you some sort of a view so that you know what’s going to happen, what we’re trying to do, and what we’re pushing so far.
51 00:04:51.910 ⇒ 00:04:53.820 Brylle Girang: Can you see my screen?
52 00:04:57.470 ⇒ 00:05:04.759 Brylle Girang: Okay, like, this is, like, the LMS part that we’re trying to build. This is in the platform, and we’re trying to, like.
53 00:05:04.980 ⇒ 00:05:21.159 Brylle Girang: centralize everything that’s related to learning and development here. And this foundation track is the main… is part of our OKRs, which would, you know, include how to set up Cursor and GitHub, which would be especially helpful for the new hires.
54 00:05:21.260 ⇒ 00:05:26.309 Brylle Girang: our delivery standards and how AI can help us meet those.
55 00:05:26.470 ⇒ 00:05:30.699 Brylle Girang: deep dive on Cursor and the things that we can do with it.
56 00:05:30.900 ⇒ 00:05:40.249 Brylle Girang: how to use GitHub, how to use the platform, how to do cloud agents, etc. So this is, like, basically the content of the foundation module.
57 00:05:40.330 ⇒ 00:05:44.349 Brylle Girang: And, this is not just meant for, you know, new hires.
58 00:05:44.390 ⇒ 00:06:02.500 Brylle Girang: Because there are things here that would really be helpful for the tenured people. Obviously, they can skip, like, Module 1, the cursor and GitHub setup, etc, but we feel like we need to make sure that everyone is in the same baseline.
59 00:06:02.510 ⇒ 00:06:04.640 Brylle Girang: Before we try to upskill them.
60 00:06:04.940 ⇒ 00:06:10.900 Brylle Girang: And that… that’s also why it… this is blocking, like, our other OKRs, the build-up funds.
61 00:06:11.120 ⇒ 00:06:14.740 Brylle Girang: And then the role-based tracks, or the role-based trainings.
62 00:06:15.190 ⇒ 00:06:32.749 Brylle Girang: So this is really important. My hard stop is that this should be launched this week. Maybe tomorrow during the Friday retro, we’ll have a major update for the teams, but overall, I think, you know, it’s either we cut down on the foundation modules, which I do not want to happen.
63 00:06:32.930 ⇒ 00:06:44.970 Brylle Girang: Or we adjust our timeline to make sure that we still give people the time to, like, go through the course and finish all the modules so that our OKRs will also be met.
64 00:06:45.660 ⇒ 00:06:46.160 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.
65 00:06:46.370 ⇒ 00:06:47.909 Brylle Girang: Like, that’s the most significant update.
66 00:06:47.910 ⇒ 00:06:59.249 Mustafa Raja: I, I also read in the, in the, what’s it called? In the certifications, pipeline that, that folks must first complete this.
67 00:06:59.400 ⇒ 00:07:06.480 Mustafa Raja: foundation track. So, so this, this is a… is this a blocker for them, then?
68 00:07:08.370 ⇒ 00:07:12.090 Brylle Girang: Oh, this one! Is this it?
69 00:07:13.430 ⇒ 00:07:17.739 Mustafa Raja: Start Foundation Track, and… no, no, no, in the Snow Pro. Let’s go into the Snow Pro.
70 00:07:18.520 ⇒ 00:07:22.289 Mustafa Raja: And then let’s scroll in the prerequisites, complete… yeah.
71 00:07:22.510 ⇒ 00:07:35.170 Brylle Girang: This one, okay. This is AI slob that I failed to… that I failed to double-check, I’m really sorry. This is not required, like, they can… they can do the certifications without going through foundation check, so I’m going to remove this.
72 00:07:35.170 ⇒ 00:07:35.900 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.
73 00:07:36.190 ⇒ 00:07:39.600 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I also mentioned this in the… in the messages that I sent you.
74 00:07:39.600 ⇒ 00:07:41.140 Brylle Girang: Yeah. Okay.
75 00:07:41.780 ⇒ 00:07:45.129 Brylle Girang: Perfect. Yeah, so, yeah, I think, you know.
76 00:07:45.280 ⇒ 00:07:52.840 Brylle Girang: two OKRs that we’re prioritizing right now are the certifications and this foundation module.
77 00:07:52.840 ⇒ 00:08:11.819 Brylle Girang: the other OKRs, the build-athons, and then the role-based trainings, they’re still on hold. I have started, like, the DoorDash workflow, the DoorDash packages. If you have seen my previous messages within this week, where I was sharing, you know, skills, I was sharing recordings of how to do stuff.
78 00:08:11.920 ⇒ 00:08:26.099 Brylle Girang: the most helpful skills that we have had in the platform, etc. I’m also going to continue doing that. Once we’re in a good place there, then I might, like, give you the freedom to also do those DoorDash packages for your service lines.
79 00:08:27.050 ⇒ 00:08:34.090 Brylle Girang: Yeah, I think that’s it on my end. Any concerns, any clarifications that you wanted to address?
80 00:08:38.059 ⇒ 00:08:44.449 Amber Lin: What is the… once we launch it, how much time do people have to complete it?
81 00:08:45.360 ⇒ 00:08:46.090 Brylle Girang: up.
82 00:08:46.810 ⇒ 00:09:00.199 Brylle Girang: So I think I’m going to be able to give you a better answer there once I finalize the, like, the foundation content. What I’m planning is that, there should be at least a dedicated one day per module.
83 00:09:01.150 ⇒ 00:09:07.370 Brylle Girang: We have, like, 7 modules now that should take, you know, 7 days, and that’s how we’re going to, like,
84 00:09:07.790 ⇒ 00:09:12.800 Brylle Girang: center the timeline on, but we’re going to give them, like.
85 00:09:13.990 ⇒ 00:09:18.949 Brylle Girang: They should be able to, like, complete the module if they dedicate, like, 30 minutes every day.
86 00:09:19.260 ⇒ 00:09:20.830 Brylle Girang: That’s what I’m targeting.
87 00:09:21.590 ⇒ 00:09:22.670 Amber Lin: Okay, sounds good.
88 00:09:25.790 ⇒ 00:09:31.270 Brylle Girang: Alright. Mustafa, do you have any other concerns, aside from the certification updates that we need to do?
89 00:09:31.790 ⇒ 00:09:32.410 Mustafa Raja: Nope.
90 00:09:32.750 ⇒ 00:09:41.659 Brylle Girang: Okay, yeah, cool. I’m going to give you back most of the time, thank you for taking the time here, but if I need anything else, I’m just going to Slack you both.
91 00:09:42.140 ⇒ 00:09:42.730 Mustafa Raja: Thank you.
92 00:09:42.730 ⇒ 00:09:45.230 Amber Lin: Alright, sounds good, I appreciate it. Bye.
