There's always going to be bits of work that come up that don't relate to
the quarterly goals. That's just the reality, and it's okay. But, please do
make sure it's tracked in Phab, so that we can have an honest conversation
about whether it's the right thing to do or not.
Thanks!

Hi all,
As a reminder, all[1] of your Discovery-related research and coding work
should be tracked in phabricator. During our Tuesday/Thursday standups,
most of what you talk about should be tasks on one of the "sprint"
workboards. If you are working on a task that isn't in the sprint board,
please a) re-check to be sure that is the highest priority thing you should
be working on, and b) if it is, add it to phabricator and/or to the sprint
board as needed.
When you pick what to work on, try to grab something from near the top of
the sprint's Backlog column, and move it to In Progress. Please use the
Needs Review column as needed, and when the task is really done, move it to
Done.
Each sub-team should be focused on its quarterly goal. Please be sure that
Dan is aware of any work you do outside that. If you have any questions,
check with him, me, or a team lead.
[1] If you do a 15-minutes task here or there, it doesn't need to be
tracked in phab. But any substantive work should be. Personally I would set
the threshold at about an hour, but your mileage may vary.
Thanks much!
