As we prepare to bring our new Discovery ops person on board in a couple
weeks, we have been talking about how to integrate Guillaume's workflow
into our process. The following strawdog proposals are based on
conversations that involved me, Dan, Guillaume, and others.
1. Meetings
We propose having Guillaume attend the search team standups for now, since
90+% of his initial work will relate to search. He would probably not any
of the sprint planning or backlog grooming meetings. It's not clear whether
we should have a weekly Ops planning meeting, which would resemble the
Analysis planning meetings we already have.
2. Phabricator
We would create a Discovery-ops-sprint project/board, which will represent
the work of the Discovery ops team. This aligns with how we have handled
the Maps and WDQS sub-teams, which are also very small teams.
3. Learn and iterate
Whatever we end up trying as a starting point, we'll inspect and adapt it
as we go.
Any questions, comments, concerns, or questions?
