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!
