Here's Where I Stand

Doug

• I want to help Doug get as much as possible done with the Homepage design and then use the headway to get the last 20% done and move onto the document builder, improving its flow and visbility.
• What I need from Doug is daily 5 min meeting times and pointers on what to work on.
• I need to get the pull claude design from doug/mark, and get the related git repo. Suggest to create a basecamp board.
• You appeared to miss most of the features like the superadmin agent panel. You don't really understand what its doing.

Regh - Really should have dove in head first into the homepage bits and set up meetings friday, but the second best time is nnow. - Herustic document | Get it done by today. Ask if other documents you wrote like Marks data is our moat and j - Can't find a good word that encapsulates both ag produers and vegitation managers.

Mark

• Comb through the last meeting conv. There was most likely some stuff I missed.

Propelmappers Product Herustic

• Building a product that serves people who meets with, collects data for, does work for, and gives suggestions to producers who deal plant and livestock resources.
• It should serve that target audience very well, and be built solely for that target audience.
• The target audience has to get administrative work while driving, and in conditions where online tools wil be available.

Stuff from Shape Up that relates to this company.

"[Team Members] define their own tasks, make adjustments to the scope, and work together to build vertical slices of the product one at a time."

"Write the pitch. Once we think we’ve shaped it enough to potentially bet on, we package it with a formal write-up called a pitch. The pitch summarizes the problem, constraints, solution, rabbit holes, and limitations. The pitch goes to the betting table for consideration. If the project gets chosen, the pitch can be re-used at kick-off to explain the project to the team."

• Souds very similar to what doug wrote for the hompage.

"It’s important to keep a cool manner and a bit of a poker face. We don’t want to shut down an idea that we don’t understand. New information might come in tomorrow that makes us see it differently. On the other hand, showing too much enthusiasm right away can set expectations that this thing is going to happen. We may not be able to commit to it once we’ve put it into context with everything else we want to do."

• Very similar to how Regh replied.

Useful Quotes for Me

"We reduce risk in the shaping process by solving open questions before we commit the project to a time box. We don’t give a project to a team that still has rabbit holes or tangled interdependencies."

"When we shape the work, we need to do it at the right level of abstraction: not too vague and not too concrete. Product managers often err on one of these two extremes."

What I did today

Fixed ghost preview removal pull request. Studied Doug's pull request. Studied Dougs document related to the home screen redesign. Planned out where I stand with everyone and their suggestions and requests. Went through the meeting notes between me and Regh last thursday, herustic docs was just a couple lines when condensed.
