In order to close out the current year, we are listing all of our inflight work and then defining a "done" state for all of it that we can do by July 15th 2019. That will mean some projects we will cut scope, for others we may just shelve and put back into our project planning board (or send to Clinic Duty). But for all we should give ourselves a target that we can achieve and give ourselves some more headspace to move into the next year.
Instructions:
If you are working on a project not listed (or the project has been reactive and you get intermittent pings), please list it below.
For each project, write in a definition of "done". This should be an actionable set of tasks - concrete tasks either written or in Phab. Be bold and make a proposal!
For each projects definition of "done" come up with a level of done where the project could be set down and picked up later. (We may pick it up immediately in the new year, but we want a definition of done for FY 18/19)
For each project, write in any risks or dependencies we need to figure out to make this happen.
Each project has two sign off columns, one for a Tech Lead/EM and on for a PM. Please review and add your signature if you think the "done" column is well defined and accomplishable.
For any project where you cut scope, but has work still needs done after July 15th, file a project ticket on our Asana project board so we can get it scheduled.
The leads will review and finalize this list on July 1 2019.
Additional notes that are implicit above:
EM/Tech Leads and PMs need to coordinate and agree on done. If you can work together to get to this, please do so. Set a meeting talk through the projects.
If you already the PM, EM or Tech Lead for a project , you should probably one of the people to define done, but at a minimum you should probably sign off.
Coordination with other team members is not listed, but you are expected to coordinate with engineers as needed.
Don't reinvent the wheel… you probably have the scope you need somewhere, just try to cut away the rest.
