1 00:02:19.930 ⇒ 00:02:20.780 Uttam Kumaran: Hey, I wish…
2 00:02:24.700 ⇒ 00:02:25.440 Awaish Kumar: Hello.
3 00:02:33.630 ⇒ 00:02:34.990 Uttam Kumaran: How’s the day going?
4 00:02:35.780 ⇒ 00:02:37.030 Awaish Kumar: I’m good.
5 00:02:37.590 ⇒ 00:02:38.659 Awaish Kumar: How about you?
6 00:02:39.740 ⇒ 00:02:40.720 Uttam Kumaran: Good.
7 00:02:45.970 ⇒ 00:02:47.710 Uttam Kumaran: Yes, going well.
8 00:04:42.230 ⇒ 00:04:43.150 Amber Lin: Hi.
9 00:04:45.050 ⇒ 00:04:45.860 Uttam Kumaran: Hello.
10 00:04:46.090 ⇒ 00:05:00.910 Amber Lin: I just met with Emily, so quick recap, she needs to get up to date on some workflows, because she didn’t know how things got closed, and then what’s going on, but Demlon and her are meeting tomorrow at 9am, so pretty soon.
11 00:05:00.910 ⇒ 00:05:19.589 Amber Lin: I asked… I think what she can work on, because the Looker stuff is blocked, because she doesn’t know where to find… what the tables are for. What she can work on is the historicals, which she asked, can you point her to where you’re currently working on the subscriptions tables, so she can…
12 00:05:19.630 ⇒ 00:05:25.279 Amber Lin: Learn from it, look at it, and make the historicals from that.
13 00:05:26.830 ⇒ 00:05:31.910 Uttam Kumaran: Sure, but is there, like, are there tickets for this work right now? Like, I don’t…
14 00:05:32.310 ⇒ 00:05:38.009 Amber Lin: Their historicals, yes. We pushed it out because it was Emily’s task.
15 00:05:38.450 ⇒ 00:05:44.529 Amber Lin: Mostly, you just want to know where your current work for its subscriptions and loop, where that is.
16 00:05:45.100 ⇒ 00:05:45.500 Amber Lin: Check.
17 00:05:45.900 ⇒ 00:05:50.010 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, but I guess, like, my question is more about, like.
18 00:05:50.620 ⇒ 00:05:56.649 Uttam Kumaran: what, like, we pushed out some work last week, and there’s a lot of stuff in next cycle and blocked.
19 00:05:56.780 ⇒ 00:06:00.039 Uttam Kumaran: Like, can she take on any of that, or…
20 00:06:00.420 ⇒ 00:06:04.009 Uttam Kumaran: Like, are there tickets for historicals?
21 00:06:04.580 ⇒ 00:06:04.910 Amber Lin: Yes.
22 00:06:04.910 ⇒ 00:06:07.190 Uttam Kumaran: Already ticketed, and like, yeah.
23 00:06:07.500 ⇒ 00:06:12.589 Amber Lin: Yeah, I moved the historical one in, so…
24 00:06:13.230 ⇒ 00:06:19.979 Amber Lin: I met with her, and then there’s a line legacy subscriptions to update my models.
25 00:06:20.220 ⇒ 00:06:23.720 Amber Lin: That’s one. And then there’s another one on paid media.
26 00:06:24.560 ⇒ 00:06:28.039 Uttam Kumaran: But none of these tickets have any, like, descriptions or anything.
27 00:06:30.270 ⇒ 00:06:33.570 Amber Lin: I think because she needs to look at what’s available.
28 00:06:34.180 ⇒ 00:06:36.859 Amber Lin: To add subs… to add descriptions.
29 00:06:38.510 ⇒ 00:06:46.920 Uttam Kumaran: But we… like, we can’t move tickets into the sprint if they don’t… if they aren’t groomed at all. Like, there’s no… there’s no… how do I know what’s gonna happen in that ticket?
30 00:06:49.470 ⇒ 00:06:50.190 Amber Lin: Okay.
31 00:06:51.330 ⇒ 00:06:55.850 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, am I wrong? Like, I just feel like these tickets don’t have any information on them.
32 00:06:58.480 ⇒ 00:07:00.899 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, like, can she… can…
33 00:07:01.220 ⇒ 00:07:07.099 Uttam Kumaran: if you have contacts from her on what constitutes that ticket, like, that would be great, because I can’t comment on…
34 00:07:07.480 ⇒ 00:07:10.360 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know what that… what any of that means.
35 00:07:14.930 ⇒ 00:07:25.380 Amber Lin: Okay, I can help give you an answer in a bit. But for the ones that’s blocked, we don’t have the models ready yet, so we can’t do these ones that’s blocked.
36 00:07:25.970 ⇒ 00:07:35.260 Amber Lin: So, the suborders are blocked, so I booked a meeting with Emily, with Perry, tomorrow, so hopefully we get those reviewed.
37 00:07:35.880 ⇒ 00:07:44.229 Amber Lin: Are we ready to have that review with her tomorrow? Any extra items we can complete today so we can get that review tomorrow?
38 00:07:45.530 ⇒ 00:07:51.660 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, but I just, like, I want to make… like, this meeting was for transitioning stuff to Awash, right? So I just, like…
39 00:07:51.660 ⇒ 00:07:52.180 Amber Lin: Yup.
40 00:07:52.180 ⇒ 00:07:56.559 Uttam Kumaran: I just want to have… do that, like, I… we’re… I feel like we’re talking about multiple different things right now.
41 00:07:57.940 ⇒ 00:07:58.460 Amber Lin: Okay.
42 00:07:58.460 ⇒ 00:07:59.010 Uttam Kumaran: So…
43 00:07:59.440 ⇒ 00:08:04.219 Amber Lin: Because there’s no… there’s no time otherwise, but that’s all I have.
44 00:08:06.030 ⇒ 00:08:11.199 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, I just don’t understand, like, this meeting was to talk about transitioning stuff to a WASH,
45 00:08:11.390 ⇒ 00:08:17.069 Uttam Kumaran: And then I’m just getting asked about, like, Emily’s tickets, which, again, like, I don’t know what…
46 00:08:18.550 ⇒ 00:08:25.349 Uttam Kumaran: There seems to… she looks like there’s a bunch of tickets and blocked, and there’s a lot in the cycle, like, can she take on any of that?
47 00:08:25.610 ⇒ 00:08:26.570 Uttam Kumaran: And then…
48 00:08:26.820 ⇒ 00:08:31.889 Uttam Kumaran: the tickets that you did show me, like, they don’t have any description, so I can’t comment on, like.
49 00:08:32.179 ⇒ 00:08:33.520 Uttam Kumaran: What those are.
50 00:08:33.659 ⇒ 00:08:40.539 Uttam Kumaran: I’m… yeah, like, and I just heard right now that the meeting was booked tomorrow, so I need to… I don’t know, I just can’t, like…
51 00:08:40.860 ⇒ 00:08:47.520 Uttam Kumaran: I can’t help right now on any of those. I was… I was ready today to just help, if you could lead how we can transition stuff to Awash.
52 00:08:52.370 ⇒ 00:08:54.710 Amber Lin: We can get started on that, then.
53 00:08:55.500 ⇒ 00:08:56.230 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
54 00:08:59.420 ⇒ 00:09:02.869 Uttam Kumaran: So, am I supposed to lead that, or…
55 00:09:04.230 ⇒ 00:09:09.129 Amber Lin: Well, I want to know what are the main areas that Awash is taking on, because…
56 00:09:09.370 ⇒ 00:09:16.409 Amber Lin: Wish usually does DE work, but here we mostly have AE work. If I… if you can tell me…
57 00:09:16.540 ⇒ 00:09:17.250 Amber Lin: Where…
58 00:09:17.250 ⇒ 00:09:17.900 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
59 00:09:18.070 ⇒ 00:09:18.939 Awaish Kumar: I can do both.
60 00:09:18.940 ⇒ 00:09:20.490 Amber Lin: There he is. Okay.
61 00:09:20.820 ⇒ 00:09:21.810 Amber Lin: Alright.
62 00:09:23.210 ⇒ 00:09:24.010 Amber Lin: Okay.
63 00:09:25.760 ⇒ 00:09:33.920 Awaish Kumar: So, like, what I would see, I have read the, like, the documentation we have in the Google Sheet.
64 00:09:34.060 ⇒ 00:09:38.870 Awaish Kumar: Secondly, like, I would need access to any Notion docs.
65 00:09:39.110 ⇒ 00:09:41.730 Awaish Kumar: For, like, if you have any knowledge base.
66 00:09:41.960 ⇒ 00:09:49.259 Awaish Kumar: F-four… Urban stamps. Third thing I would need is access to GitHub.
67 00:09:51.540 ⇒ 00:09:56.739 Awaish Kumar: port, on one pass, I would need access to Amazon’s vault.
68 00:09:56.870 ⇒ 00:10:00.309 Awaish Kumar: And, these are things I would need.
69 00:10:00.640 ⇒ 00:10:07.220 Awaish Kumar: To get going, Yeah, then,
70 00:10:07.770 ⇒ 00:10:16.309 Awaish Kumar: I see some of the tools being used in the Google Sheet. I hope they are up-to-date. Like, we are using HEVO,
71 00:10:16.990 ⇒ 00:10:23.760 Awaish Kumar: Stitch for ingestations and redshift SDL for warehouse. Is that still correct?
72 00:10:27.860 ⇒ 00:10:29.389 Demilade Agboola: Yes, that’s correct.
73 00:10:30.290 ⇒ 00:10:30.960 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
74 00:10:31.480 ⇒ 00:10:37.799 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so Amber, can you… can you make sure that Awash has all our documentation? All of this is available in documentation.
75 00:10:39.760 ⇒ 00:10:40.590 Amber Lin: Yeah.
76 00:10:43.450 ⇒ 00:10:44.720 Awaish Kumar: I have read the documentation.
77 00:10:44.720 ⇒ 00:10:45.410 Amber Lin: the docks.
78 00:10:45.410 ⇒ 00:10:48.310 Awaish Kumar: I’m just confirming that what is written there is up to date.
79 00:10:48.820 ⇒ 00:10:49.980 Uttam Kumaran: Yes, it is.
80 00:10:50.850 ⇒ 00:10:53.989 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, we have… the only thing we’ve added recently is Metaplane.
81 00:10:55.440 ⇒ 00:10:56.240 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
82 00:10:57.570 ⇒ 00:10:58.300 Amber Lin: Okay.
83 00:11:01.340 ⇒ 00:11:08.109 Demilade Agboola: I mean, just in terms of scope, right now, what we’re trying to do is… the focus is on revenue.
84 00:11:09.180 ⇒ 00:11:14.330 Demilade Agboola: We just integrated Loop, I believe, for… the trends.
85 00:11:14.910 ⇒ 00:11:18.000 Demilade Agboola: So… I love the phase we’re in right now.
86 00:11:20.980 ⇒ 00:11:25.689 Amber Lin: Yeah, and to walk you through, just a quick overview of where we’re at right now.
87 00:11:30.140 ⇒ 00:11:38.709 Amber Lin: So we did an audit, and then we had ingestion. The only thing remaining is North Beam. We did the fact and dimension tables.
88 00:11:39.310 ⇒ 00:11:42.790 Amber Lin: Then… We have…
89 00:11:42.970 ⇒ 00:11:43.600 Awaish Kumar: Seems more.
90 00:11:43.600 ⇒ 00:11:44.280 Amber Lin: No one.
91 00:11:44.280 ⇒ 00:11:44.950 Awaish Kumar: Right?
92 00:11:46.070 ⇒ 00:11:46.800 Amber Lin: Pardon me?
93 00:11:48.060 ⇒ 00:11:50.159 Awaish Kumar: That’s a question from maybe Demon Adam.
94 00:11:52.000 ⇒ 00:11:53.290 Demilade Agboola: Alright, I didn’t have a question.
95 00:11:53.830 ⇒ 00:11:58.879 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I said we, like, that’s kind of… we’re kind of working for, like, sales mod, right?
96 00:11:59.030 ⇒ 00:11:59.830 Awaish Kumar: getting all.
97 00:11:59.830 ⇒ 00:12:00.560 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, we’ll try…
98 00:12:00.570 ⇒ 00:12:01.550 Awaish Kumar: Revenue…
99 00:12:01.550 ⇒ 00:12:08.940 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, yeah, we’re trying to deal with, yeah, so we’re doing orders, we’ve done things around… we’re building transactions, orders.
100 00:12:09.880 ⇒ 00:12:12.590 Demilade Agboola: currently subscriptions was what Utam was working on.
101 00:12:12.980 ⇒ 00:12:16.750 Demilade Agboola: The idea is we want to be able to put everything together to be able to calculate the revenue.
102 00:12:18.070 ⇒ 00:12:18.760 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
103 00:12:24.090 ⇒ 00:12:32.760 Amber Lin: Yeah, and our idea for you to come on is to take on the task that Utem was working on, so we moved some of the tickets already
104 00:12:32.900 ⇒ 00:12:37.730 Amber Lin: So you, do you think I added you to this…
105 00:12:38.350 ⇒ 00:12:43.849 Amber Lin: Let me check… yeah, I added you to this team, so you should be able to see it here.
106 00:12:43.990 ⇒ 00:12:49.779 Amber Lin: I think the main ones was… Related to… let’s see…
107 00:12:49.780 ⇒ 00:12:55.969 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, then, I would need access to, the warehouse, the database.
108 00:12:56.160 ⇒ 00:12:58.899 Awaish Kumar: If that is in one pass, that’s okay.
109 00:12:59.090 ⇒ 00:13:01.939 Awaish Kumar: If I need… if we need to create a user, then…
110 00:13:02.310 ⇒ 00:13:03.700 Awaish Kumar: Can you repeat it for me?
111 00:13:07.000 ⇒ 00:13:16.660 Amber Lin: Now, currently… do you guys use, a single account on OnePass, or do you use your own account? Do I need to ask for an additional account for which?
112 00:13:17.740 ⇒ 00:13:21.910 Demilade Agboola: And so, for the database, we have individual accounts.
113 00:13:22.960 ⇒ 00:13:28.189 Demilade Agboola: or, dbt Cloud, we use a shared account.
114 00:13:32.140 ⇒ 00:13:34.839 Awaish Kumar: And, like, data warehouse?
115 00:13:37.490 ⇒ 00:13:44.149 Demilade Agboola: Same thing. So it’s actually, like, it’s… yeah, it’s not the database data warehouse, but…
116 00:13:44.150 ⇒ 00:13:45.590 Awaish Kumar: Okay, red shoots.
117 00:13:48.020 ⇒ 00:13:50.429 Awaish Kumar: So, like, we are working on…
118 00:13:51.860 ⇒ 00:13:57.850 Awaish Kumar: So, we are using the same ingenation tools, get data from the database or some… whatever platform.
119 00:13:57.850 ⇒ 00:14:01.680 Uttam Kumaran: No, we’re using Hivo and Stitch, and Polytomic.
120 00:14:02.010 ⇒ 00:14:02.909 Demilade Agboola: I’ll put it on there.
121 00:14:02.910 ⇒ 00:14:03.950 Uttam Kumaran: into Redshift.
122 00:14:04.270 ⇒ 00:14:08.880 Uttam Kumaran: And then we’re using dbt Cloud, for orchestration.
123 00:14:09.810 ⇒ 00:14:11.560 Uttam Kumaran: And then Looker for BI.
124 00:14:12.000 ⇒ 00:14:19.720 Uttam Kumaran: So, locally, for development, there’s a document in Notion about setting up like, dbt Cloud CLI,
125 00:14:19.850 ⇒ 00:14:27.299 Uttam Kumaran: And so you can just trigger jobs locally. They’ll run with the dbt cloud, so it’s no local… that’s… there’s no, like, local
126 00:14:27.690 ⇒ 00:14:29.290 Uttam Kumaran: dbt Core, basically.
127 00:14:30.270 ⇒ 00:14:33.130 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I… I work with clouds.
128 00:14:33.130 ⇒ 00:14:33.790 Uttam Kumaran: Cool.
129 00:14:37.230 ⇒ 00:14:41.360 Awaish Kumar: Okay, that’s all I would need, and then I can… Start looking into it.
130 00:14:47.940 ⇒ 00:14:48.600 Amber Lin: Alright.
131 00:14:48.850 ⇒ 00:14:53.250 Amber Lin: Let’s see, among these.
132 00:14:53.250 ⇒ 00:14:56.460 Awaish Kumar: Do you have any architecture diagram for Armission?
133 00:14:56.460 ⇒ 00:14:59.879 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, that’s also in documentation.
134 00:14:59.880 ⇒ 00:15:00.630 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
135 00:15:06.450 ⇒ 00:15:12.390 Amber Lin: Let’s see… any of the ad hocs we can hand off, or am I already done with them?
136 00:15:13.740 ⇒ 00:15:18.469 Uttam Kumaran: Well, we… I thought we already went through and assigned stuff to Awash, right? So can we just talk through those?
137 00:15:18.860 ⇒ 00:15:21.540 Amber Lin: Or Wish, did you have a chance to look through these, or…
138 00:15:21.540 ⇒ 00:15:23.000 Uttam Kumaran: Are you familiar with these?
139 00:15:23.960 ⇒ 00:15:27.649 Awaish Kumar: It starts? No, I haven’t… I won’t pass.
140 00:15:27.650 ⇒ 00:15:31.479 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so, like, yeah, that’s what I want to use this time to just go through…
141 00:15:32.650 ⇒ 00:15:34.910 Uttam Kumaran: Each of these, basically, and make sure that
142 00:15:35.530 ⇒ 00:15:39.340 Uttam Kumaran: Oasis, like, knows exactly what he needs to do for these.
143 00:15:47.430 ⇒ 00:15:52.720 Uttam Kumaran: So… Amber, are you clear on, like, what the ask is from this ticket?
144 00:15:53.360 ⇒ 00:16:01.420 Amber Lin: So, DIM Products was built a while ago, and then when we built it, we didn’t have the categories, I believe.
145 00:16:01.730 ⇒ 00:16:07.369 Amber Lin: Kayo originally built DIM products, and then UTM took a look and finished it off.
146 00:16:07.530 ⇒ 00:16:18.730 Amber Lin: And so, we need to include these, I think… Let’s see…
147 00:16:23.090 ⇒ 00:16:29.820 Amber Lin: That is as far as I know. I can confirm… we can confirm with Emily what these categories mean, but…
148 00:16:29.970 ⇒ 00:16:36.319 Amber Lin: I know, demo, did you work on DIM products a little bit, or was it purely Kyle?
149 00:16:37.160 ⇒ 00:16:42.030 Demilade Agboola: So Kyle gives the… the call file, I believe, Otong…
150 00:16:42.240 ⇒ 00:16:44.540 Demilade Agboola: Moved it to dbt and deployed it.
151 00:16:47.140 ⇒ 00:16:51.539 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so I think it would be helpful… I think this ticket needs a bit more grooming.
152 00:16:51.810 ⇒ 00:16:54.759 Uttam Kumaran: So, it doesn’t look like it’s clear, like, what the…
153 00:16:56.260 ⇒ 00:16:58.949 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, I get it says include categories, but…
154 00:16:59.590 ⇒ 00:17:03.929 Uttam Kumaran: For someone like OH, who’s brand new, this ticket, it’s not really enough information.
155 00:17:04.339 ⇒ 00:17:11.229 Uttam Kumaran: So can you work with Emily to maybe groom this further on, like, what the outcome should be?
156 00:17:12.970 ⇒ 00:17:15.089 Uttam Kumaran: That way there’s, like, acceptance criteria.
157 00:17:21.960 ⇒ 00:17:25.550 Amber Lin: Yeah, I don’t think it’s fair yet to have Awash work on that, so…
158 00:17:35.100 ⇒ 00:17:37.749 Amber Lin: This one’s related to the historicals.
159 00:17:38.620 ⇒ 00:17:42.740 Amber Lin: We’ve been pushing this out for a while.
160 00:17:43.430 ⇒ 00:17:45.120 Amber Lin: And…
161 00:17:46.080 ⇒ 00:17:49.040 Uttam Kumaran: Can you talk through what this ticket is related to?
162 00:17:56.160 ⇒ 00:17:58.810 Amber Lin: I can’t.
163 00:17:58.960 ⇒ 00:18:03.010 Amber Lin: Ash, do you think… I think it’s more helpful if I grab…
164 00:18:03.490 ⇒ 00:18:09.720 Amber Lin: time for me and Wish and Emily, she’s available now. I’d rather go talk through this with her.
165 00:18:10.250 ⇒ 00:18:19.489 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I don’t think it’s worth having a waste there, though, because, like, these tickets just need… they just need to be groomed a bit better with the client.
166 00:18:19.670 ⇒ 00:18:24.839 Uttam Kumaran: like, I kind of… I get that, like, I mean, looking at it, I can tell it’s just from the…
167 00:18:25.250 ⇒ 00:18:27.210 Uttam Kumaran: The ticket generator, but…
168 00:18:27.340 ⇒ 00:18:47.049 Uttam Kumaran: I just really need you to have a clear understanding of, like, what the goal of this ticket is. It’s not gonna be… it’s not gonna be effective to have a wish looped in here until then. So, this is another one I would like to just mark for further grooming on, like, what exactly the output needs to be here. Like, what is the acceptance criteria?
169 00:18:49.620 ⇒ 00:18:52.960 Uttam Kumaran: So let’s go through the necklace, let’s see what the next ticket is.
170 00:18:53.970 ⇒ 00:18:55.909 Amber Lin: These two are the dbt tests.
171 00:18:57.620 ⇒ 00:19:01.779 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so I feel like Awash can work… can work on those.
172 00:19:02.280 ⇒ 00:19:03.650 Awaish Kumar: again, I think…
173 00:19:03.650 ⇒ 00:19:07.039 Uttam Kumaran: Both of these… Can we just clip into them?
174 00:19:07.680 ⇒ 00:19:11.679 Uttam Kumaran: It would be helpful to have some type of description here, but…
175 00:19:11.910 ⇒ 00:19:14.119 Uttam Kumaran: This one’s a little bit more straightforward.
176 00:19:14.330 ⇒ 00:19:14.850 Awaish Kumar: Right.
177 00:19:15.000 ⇒ 00:19:19.549 Awaish Kumar: level, it just says 3 tests? Like, is that what you want, or…
178 00:19:19.950 ⇒ 00:19:21.190 Awaish Kumar: Like, do we want really…
179 00:19:21.190 ⇒ 00:19:25.830 Uttam Kumaran: Well, I think it would be helpful for you to take a look at this model.
180 00:19:25.830 ⇒ 00:19:26.270 Awaish Kumar: Amen.
181 00:19:26.270 ⇒ 00:19:30.750 Uttam Kumaran: And pro… propose, like, what the… What the test should be?
182 00:19:31.450 ⇒ 00:19:35.670 Uttam Kumaran: But yeah, just, like, these tickets just need, like, a lot more…
183 00:19:36.040 ⇒ 00:19:38.419 Uttam Kumaran: Descriptions, if they’re gonna get worked on.
184 00:19:38.790 ⇒ 00:19:41.929 Uttam Kumaran: So this one, I think Awash can probably take, but, like.
185 00:19:42.180 ⇒ 00:19:47.750 Uttam Kumaran: in your grooming session with Emily, I think it’s… it would be great to… to…
186 00:19:49.020 ⇒ 00:19:51.150 Uttam Kumaran: Make sure that even these have
187 00:19:51.310 ⇒ 00:19:57.089 Uttam Kumaran: Have tickets and have… have acceptance criteria and all of our standard ticket definitions.
188 00:20:02.420 ⇒ 00:20:09.659 Uttam Kumaran: I assume that’s the same case for 314, and then if, yeah, if we can clear… if we talk about 367,
189 00:20:09.890 ⇒ 00:20:17.599 Uttam Kumaran: This one, Awash, I just wondered if you can put together, like, a quick one-pager on…
190 00:20:17.980 ⇒ 00:20:20.829 Awaish Kumar: Like, the market for observability tools?
191 00:20:21.690 ⇒ 00:20:25.849 Uttam Kumaran: you can even use AI or perplexity or something, but…
192 00:20:25.960 ⇒ 00:20:32.519 Uttam Kumaran: I just want to give the client a bit of an understanding of, like, all the tools that we considered.
193 00:20:32.750 ⇒ 00:20:35.569 Uttam Kumaran: in terms of, like, when we chose Metaplane.
194 00:20:35.790 ⇒ 00:20:40.380 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know whether the team already built this somewhere in Notion, But…
195 00:20:40.540 ⇒ 00:20:49.939 Uttam Kumaran: If you find it, we can just share that directly with client, or if not, we can make one. Ideally, it just has all the tools.
196 00:20:50.270 ⇒ 00:20:54.650 Uttam Kumaran: The… ideally, we have pricing, and then what we recommend.
197 00:20:54.980 ⇒ 00:20:57.180 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, I can… And why, yeah.
198 00:20:57.180 ⇒ 00:20:59.640 Awaish Kumar: I’m just gonna say why you chose that up now, basically.
199 00:21:00.200 ⇒ 00:21:03.780 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, like, I know if you remember, it was mainly, like, price.
200 00:21:03.980 ⇒ 00:21:08.370 Uttam Kumaran: And then, it does what we want it to do really, really well, you know?
201 00:21:12.190 ⇒ 00:21:13.120 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
202 00:21:22.200 ⇒ 00:21:29.649 Amber Lin: Okay, once I get the requirements from Emily, is there additional handoffs that needs to occur for these?
203 00:21:30.170 ⇒ 00:21:33.729 Amber Lin: Or would a wage get access to…
204 00:21:34.500 ⇒ 00:21:38.060 Amber Lin: The models and the database, and that would be enough.
205 00:21:38.230 ⇒ 00:21:44.039 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, once I get the access to database and the tickets are groomed, I can work on it.
206 00:21:44.200 ⇒ 00:21:45.099 Awaish Kumar: Yes, Lee, I can.
207 00:21:45.100 ⇒ 00:21:50.049 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, I would like… I would like us to go through and just make sure that, like, we… we’re… we’re…
208 00:21:50.320 ⇒ 00:21:56.929 Uttam Kumaran: It doesn’t have to be a meeting, it can be in Slack, but I would like to see the tickets before they get worked on with the updated information.
209 00:21:58.670 ⇒ 00:21:59.620 Amber Lin: That makes sense.
210 00:21:59.620 ⇒ 00:22:13.490 Uttam Kumaran: And then, that way we can… we can run through what we would have normally done, like groom and plan, basically. So, once these are groomed, I think I can… we can… they get sent to us in Slack, we can approve it for… for development.
211 00:22:14.130 ⇒ 00:22:14.930 Amber Lin: Okay.
212 00:22:17.040 ⇒ 00:22:22.879 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, that would be really helpful. I think if we talk about,
213 00:22:23.310 ⇒ 00:22:29.589 Uttam Kumaran: Well, can we just take… I think we have still 40 minutes. I want to look through other tickets, if there’s anything else we can…
214 00:22:30.920 ⇒ 00:22:32.749 Uttam Kumaran: Passed to Awash.
215 00:22:33.520 ⇒ 00:22:34.800 Uttam Kumaran: That is groomed?
216 00:22:40.290 ⇒ 00:22:44.470 Uttam Kumaran: And then what do we do for tickets that are, like, to be groomed? Is that… do we, like, move them?
217 00:22:44.920 ⇒ 00:22:45.979 Uttam Kumaran: into a section.
218 00:22:45.980 ⇒ 00:22:46.620 Amber Lin: No, like…
219 00:22:46.620 ⇒ 00:22:48.870 Uttam Kumaran: Because right now, it’s in our… in the cycle.
220 00:22:50.960 ⇒ 00:23:01.580 Amber Lin: Yeah, there is a needs grooming. Urban Simte just hasn’t been groomed as much because we’ve been skipping some meetings, and Emily hasn’t been present for the past two weeks.
221 00:23:01.730 ⇒ 00:23:05.620 Amber Lin: So tickets that’s new or created, they only have a title.
222 00:23:05.640 ⇒ 00:23:11.220 Uttam Kumaran: Which… But these tickets have been created, like, months ago. They were created, like, a month or two ago.
223 00:23:14.320 ⇒ 00:23:18.350 Uttam Kumaran: So, I don’t think, I mean, I don’t think these were created in the last 2 weeks.
224 00:23:18.840 ⇒ 00:23:21.500 Uttam Kumaran: So, I mean, it would be great to move these…
225 00:23:21.910 ⇒ 00:23:27.290 Uttam Kumaran: Out of this cycle, just so it’s clear, like, what’s gonna happen in this cycle, and that way we know it’s…
226 00:23:27.550 ⇒ 00:23:36.609 Uttam Kumaran: these have to get groomed before they get moved in. You know, we don’t… if there isn’t a section right now, that’s fine, but you can work with Justin to think about, like, where these need to go.
227 00:23:37.110 ⇒ 00:23:38.180 Uttam Kumaran: That’s great.
228 00:23:38.400 ⇒ 00:23:47.750 Uttam Kumaran: I think, like, if we can just look through… the existing…
229 00:23:47.930 ⇒ 00:23:51.699 Uttam Kumaran: Cycle right now, like, what are the tickets that are…
230 00:23:51.830 ⇒ 00:23:55.159 Uttam Kumaran: blocked right now. Can we move any of those to…
231 00:23:55.300 ⇒ 00:23:59.320 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, Aisha, are these all blocked by… Time, or…
232 00:24:01.240 ⇒ 00:24:10.529 Demilade Agboola: So they’re blocked by my meeting with Perry, which would happen tomorrow, but the idea is just for us to be able to get a framework of revenue calculation and how.
233 00:24:10.720 ⇒ 00:24:11.150 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
234 00:24:11.150 ⇒ 00:24:12.720 Demilade Agboola: Throwing everything together.
235 00:24:13.640 ⇒ 00:24:14.230 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
236 00:24:15.510 ⇒ 00:24:20.080 Amber Lin: Demo, do you have a separate meeting with Perry tomorrow, or do you mean the meeting we just booked?
237 00:24:20.340 ⇒ 00:24:21.809 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, the meeting you just booked.
238 00:24:21.810 ⇒ 00:24:27.070 Amber Lin: Oh, okay. Would you be able to attend it? It is in the afternoon, because she doesn’t have time in the morning.
239 00:24:28.290 ⇒ 00:24:33.730 Demilade Agboola: That’s fine. If you can make it earlier, that would be great, but right now, it’s fine.
240 00:24:34.170 ⇒ 00:24:34.990 Amber Lin: Okay.
241 00:24:36.790 ⇒ 00:24:39.800 Awaish Kumar: Can I look at tickets assigned to them?
242 00:24:43.650 ⇒ 00:24:47.489 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so I’m gonna set up the basics on FAC subscriptions.
243 00:24:47.900 ⇒ 00:24:49.639 Uttam Kumaran: And I’m gonna get that shipped.
244 00:24:49.780 ⇒ 00:24:50.980 Uttam Kumaran: And then…
245 00:24:50.980 ⇒ 00:24:52.150 Awaish Kumar: What do I mean?
246 00:24:53.680 ⇒ 00:25:00.559 Uttam Kumaran: The Northbeam API, issue, this is on Demolade, but I guess Demolade, let me know if you want to pass that.
247 00:25:00.670 ⇒ 00:25:02.870 Uttam Kumaran: To a way she can take a look at that.
248 00:25:04.360 ⇒ 00:25:07.410 Demilade Agboola: No, that’s fine.
249 00:25:09.430 ⇒ 00:25:11.589 Uttam Kumaran: I think it’d be great if you could focus on…
250 00:25:11.720 ⇒ 00:25:15.909 Uttam Kumaran: If you want to focus on the revenue stuff, that’s an easy one to hand off.
251 00:25:18.450 ⇒ 00:25:20.930 Uttam Kumaran: And it’ll give Awayisha a little bit of insight into, like.
252 00:25:21.810 ⇒ 00:25:23.979 Uttam Kumaran: How are… how the orders are working.
253 00:25:25.210 ⇒ 00:25:26.380 Demilade Agboola: Okay, sure.
254 00:25:28.070 ⇒ 00:25:28.640 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
255 00:25:28.750 ⇒ 00:25:31.179 Uttam Kumaran: So that’s Spike, we can move to a WASH.
256 00:25:36.310 ⇒ 00:25:37.839 Uttam Kumaran: And then…
257 00:25:42.540 ⇒ 00:25:44.319 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s see,
258 00:25:52.140 ⇒ 00:25:58.439 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, I think that’s good. And then, do you want to, also, Demoline, move this 343 to Awash?
259 00:25:59.460 ⇒ 00:26:01.699 Uttam Kumaran: the Bing ads, yeah.
260 00:26:05.450 ⇒ 00:26:16.239 Demilade Agboola: I mean, I think, since I’m working on it, he’ll still need access to, like, dbt Cloud and stuff, and I’m currently, like, working on the jobs to ensure that the flow is as efficient as possible, so it’s fine. Okay.
261 00:26:18.150 ⇒ 00:26:24.000 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. There is… there are some,
262 00:26:24.160 ⇒ 00:26:30.740 Uttam Kumaran: cleanup tickets as well, I’m just looking through… My ticket… It is.
263 00:26:34.090 ⇒ 00:26:39.040 Uttam Kumaran: like, there is a… there’s a ticket to move some derived tables to dbt.
264 00:26:39.700 ⇒ 00:26:41.810 Uttam Kumaran: That’s also probably an easy one.
265 00:26:42.150 ⇒ 00:26:43.979 Uttam Kumaran: That I can assign to a Wish.
266 00:26:46.120 ⇒ 00:26:49.150 Uttam Kumaran: It’s currently in next cycle, 352.
267 00:26:49.390 ⇒ 00:26:50.930 Amber Lin: Hmm, let me see.
268 00:26:50.930 ⇒ 00:26:51.680 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
269 00:26:52.080 ⇒ 00:26:56.019 Uttam Kumaran: It needs a bit more grooming, though, but this is one of the views
270 00:26:56.190 ⇒ 00:26:59.730 Uttam Kumaran: And then there’s another one that I…
271 00:27:01.100 ⇒ 00:27:06.780 Uttam Kumaran: I can just put in what that, what that, What the view is, basically.
272 00:27:13.690 ⇒ 00:27:16.849 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so it’d be great to just make sure we have all these tickets, like.
273 00:27:17.290 ⇒ 00:27:19.729 Uttam Kumaran: Whatever’s in next cycle should all be…
274 00:27:20.000 ⇒ 00:27:23.479 Uttam Kumaran: groom, like, on schedule models, too, this is another one where…
275 00:27:23.710 ⇒ 00:27:28.239 Uttam Kumaran: Like, we just need somebody to work on this, so if Emily can take that, that’s great.
276 00:27:28.760 ⇒ 00:27:32.250 Uttam Kumaran: But, yeah.
277 00:27:33.040 ⇒ 00:27:33.720 Amber Lin: Hmm.
278 00:27:35.530 ⇒ 00:27:51.990 Amber Lin: This one… I know you’re working on some jobs. Would later this week be appropriate? Like, when… I know you’re talking to Emily tomorrow. If we move this to Emily, would you let her know, like, when she will work on it? That doesn’t affect her jobs currently?
279 00:27:54.290 ⇒ 00:27:55.400 Demilade Agboola: I got that question.
280 00:27:55.880 ⇒ 00:28:08.929 Amber Lin: Oh, I remember when we talked about this ticket, you said this… you’re working on some jobs, and that’s why this might not… we shouldn’t work on this right now, because we don’t want conflicts. Is that still true?
281 00:28:10.040 ⇒ 00:28:17.379 Demilade Agboola: Oh, no, so for this, no, I asked to work on it, because, like, I’m trying to clean up the jobs right now. Okay. To get them…
282 00:28:17.690 ⇒ 00:28:28.949 Demilade Agboola: are more efficient, and so things like unscheduling… this unscheduling part will be right in sync, because I can remove those from the… the current ones I have them.
283 00:28:30.870 ⇒ 00:28:31.570 Amber Lin: Shit.
284 00:28:42.020 ⇒ 00:28:42.990 Amber Lin: Alright.
285 00:28:45.150 ⇒ 00:28:52.480 Uttam Kumaran: So is… is the… is what we’re accomplishing… yeah, so I guess, like, are we clear on, like, what’s gonna get done this week, and what are the… what are the next steps?
286 00:28:54.440 ⇒ 00:29:13.059 Amber Lin: So, my goal this week is that we finish all the suborders and finish subscriptions so that we can get started, on these two. And we’re reviewing with Perry so that we can get started with the monthly revenue summary, weekly revenue summary. That’s a milestone that I want to reach this cycle.
287 00:29:14.420 ⇒ 00:29:15.240 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
288 00:29:15.780 ⇒ 00:29:25.269 Uttam Kumaran: I think it’ll also just be great to, like, while you’re meeting with Emily, just to clean up the board a bit, like, there’s a lot of things with due dates blocked.
289 00:29:25.420 ⇒ 00:29:30.319 Uttam Kumaran: And then also, just like, I want to make sure that we’re starting to adhere to the…
290 00:29:30.480 ⇒ 00:29:35.889 Uttam Kumaran: Delivery standards, that, like, tickets that are active are… are being groomed.
291 00:29:36.000 ⇒ 00:29:42.770 Uttam Kumaran: like, that’s… that’s one of our OKRs going into this quarter, so I’m just gonna start to kind of push back on…
292 00:29:43.010 ⇒ 00:29:45.489 Uttam Kumaran: Things that we’re working on if they aren’t groomed.
293 00:29:45.710 ⇒ 00:29:52.800 Uttam Kumaran: It’s… we’re gonna… we’re gonna eat it when we ship something that isn’t Completely working, you know, so…
294 00:29:54.430 ⇒ 00:30:04.829 Uttam Kumaran: I think that for this client, I think you should work directly with Emily to groom everything, and she’s the most equipped to give you what the acceptance criteria should be.
295 00:30:04.970 ⇒ 00:30:13.720 Uttam Kumaran: Like, me, Awash, or Demolody can execute, but she has a ton of context on, like, why we’re working on these things.
296 00:30:14.040 ⇒ 00:30:20.899 Uttam Kumaran: If it’s a data infrastructure problem, that’s fine. But for everything outside this logic.
297 00:30:21.030 ⇒ 00:30:25.739 Uttam Kumaran: Like, she has a really good understanding of, like, what What the context is.
298 00:30:28.040 ⇒ 00:30:28.960 Amber Lin: Gotcha.
299 00:30:29.730 ⇒ 00:30:30.370 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
300 00:30:31.730 ⇒ 00:30:34.889 Amber Lin: Alrighty, I’ll grab time with her today already tomorrow.
301 00:30:36.830 ⇒ 00:30:37.800 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, great.
302 00:30:39.050 ⇒ 00:30:40.470 Amber Lin: Anything else?
303 00:30:44.810 ⇒ 00:30:51.030 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think the biggest thing is just access for a waste to everything, yeah. And then, if we can just do a quick introduction…
304 00:30:51.030 ⇒ 00:30:53.819 Demilade Agboola: If you’d like me to do that, let me know, but I would just make…
305 00:30:53.820 ⇒ 00:30:57.100 Uttam Kumaran: Want to make sure that that goes smoothly, and…
306 00:30:57.850 ⇒ 00:31:00.100 Uttam Kumaran: OASH can start to get access to things.
307 00:31:00.760 ⇒ 00:31:14.659 Amber Lin: Yeah, okay. Is there any particular items we need to ask Urban Stems to give, other than the data warehouse for Redshift, so the individual account for that? Anything else directly we need to ask access for?
308 00:31:15.320 ⇒ 00:31:17.519 Uttam Kumaran: He needs access to their GitHub.
309 00:31:17.860 ⇒ 00:31:19.080 Amber Lin: Gotcha, okay.
310 00:31:19.090 ⇒ 00:31:24.579 Uttam Kumaran: the repository… And then I…
311 00:31:24.940 ⇒ 00:31:29.500 Uttam Kumaran: I believe that’s it, yeah, he’ll need access to…
312 00:31:29.640 ⇒ 00:31:32.100 Uttam Kumaran: You’ll need individual access to Redshift, yeah.
313 00:31:32.940 ⇒ 00:31:33.470 Amber Lin: Okay.
314 00:31:36.800 ⇒ 00:31:46.140 Amber Lin: I’ll send the intro message and ask for access. Our internal access, I think I wish you should have everything, let me know if you’re blocked or not.
315 00:31:46.140 ⇒ 00:31:48.179 Awaish Kumar: I will need access to OnePass.
316 00:31:48.790 ⇒ 00:31:49.590 Awaish Kumar: Well, hold on.
317 00:31:49.590 ⇒ 00:31:49.940 Amber Lin: Okay.
318 00:31:49.940 ⇒ 00:31:51.140 Awaish Kumar: Urbanistance.
319 00:31:51.590 ⇒ 00:31:56.749 Amber Lin: Okay, I will ask Rico to add you, because I can’t add you.
320 00:31:59.630 ⇒ 00:32:00.500 Amber Lin: Okay.
321 00:32:02.220 ⇒ 00:32:03.130 Amber Lin: Alright.
322 00:32:05.280 ⇒ 00:32:08.390 Amber Lin: That’s all. Thanks, everyone. I’ll go missing.
323 00:32:09.380 ⇒ 00:32:10.090 Uttam Kumaran: Thanks.
