Change daily meeting format
There has been very close collaboration among all teams for R3 development. One of the main sync up point is the current daily standup meeting, and weekly grooming meeting. The current setup is (Houston Time) for teams in Houston:
- Mon - Wed, 3 - 4pm (1 hour): daily meeting to sync up status and discuss any blocker issues.
- Thu, 2 - 3:30pm (1.5 hour): Weekly backlog grooming session.
Meanwhile, considering the global time zones involved in ingestion project, there is another weekly meeting on Thur:
- Thu, 7 - 8am (1 hour): Ingestion project weekly meeting
In order to optimize the efficiency of those meetings, and ensure we have dedicated technical review discussions weekly, based on the feedback from meeting attendees, we propose to change our meetings to below format for teams in Houston:
- Mon, 3 - 3:30pm (0.5 hour): Status update and discuss any blocker issues.
- Tue, 3 - 4pm (1 hour): Dedicated technical discussions and ADR reviews.
- Wed, 3 - 3:30pm (0.5 hour): Status update and discuss any blocker issues. Same format as Monday.
- Thu, 2 - 3:30pm (1.5 hours): Weekly backlog grooming session, starting with blocker issue discussion.
Note, in everyday's meeting, we will cover any blocker issues to ensure teams' development velocity. We are not changing the start time of the meeting, but changing the duration and focus of the meetings.
Meanwhile, in order to have closer collaboration and faster feedback on ingestion projects, we propose to add another weekly meeting on Monday that involves different time zones. So, the new meeting format for ingestion project is:
- Mon, 8 - 9am (1 hour): Ingestion project weekly meeting
- Thu, 7 - 8am (1 hour): Ingestion project weekly meeting (No change)
Please provide your feedback on this change proposal.
