Leadership Team
Emma for ops vote
Ayoung stepping down
Hardy not a lot of thought on this
Hardy onsite next term so good there
Hardy step down after that and find someone to replace him in meantime
Looking to do nominations for this?
Why do we need three leads?
Project Manager vs Leads
Hasn’t been communicated yet (keep roles for now)
Team Direction
Comp Focusing all projects
What we don’t want to be
Members need to understand the system before they should be given the go ahead for very technical stuff.
It’s brutal all our system engineering is wrapped up in a few people.
It’s hard to design a board without understanding the application (and even harder if it’s your first board ever)
will be discussed next leads meeting, very contentious
Daniel Puratich
R D
leads should provide resources and direction
we need to have leads who get the system instead
retention isn’t great, we put a lot of effort into onboarding but after the polish members are thrown into deep end
in autonomy people complained about getting easy tasks
we need to develop our members, this is hard, we dont have management experience,
management stuff is a lot of time, most people dont wanna be managers
most of warg’s management is sorta good enough
will get a lot of push back from people who want the interesting engineering when pushing for dedicated managers
we are hour constrainted, more managers is more inefficiency
low amounts of glue work is hurting warg https://noidea.dog/glue
monthly system time for questions, more of a presentation and explanation with diagrams, from tech dir Nathan Green for thoughts here
Do we all agree with this? this is big …
This is an interpretation of Team Charter , do we agree?
my examples are mostly ee related but arguments extrapolate to all subteams
Systems Meeting
Next Major Projects
Baby steps to learn and improve as we go!!
Pegasus is for two competition seasons, this one and next
Fixed wing (then maybe VTOL) program is on the side
no proper plan, we discuss after comp, start simple, learn over time
smaller scrappy initially then go better over time
for anyone confused: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTOL
do AEAC this year (ofc lol) then once more for sure
Concerns
possibly we cant get tasks for all EFS people to work on
change name from EFS to firmware
“I have no concerns when it comes to the team direction. I think moving to CAN is a great idea and me (and other EE leads I think I can speak for them) emphatically agree that system understanding is a requirement among general members. We have discussed this in our own meetings and have come up with some ideas to remedy this.” -Nolan
Meeting Notes Organization
No two pages can have the same name in confluence
We should standardize the organization and naming for consistency across subteams
I tried to stealth improve this, but most yall realized it was different and changed it back to what your subteam was doing before lol
I dont care what we do, but we should have a standard across all subteams to avoid the oddities this causes
@xier
Asana
Is anyone using this?
Any thoughts on this as a system or has AEAC sync and the director’s memories kind of replaced the need for a ticketing system? Leads kinda do the same thing for their subteams.
Free for all reasonable for now: how are subteams using asana
mech looking into it, but have other systems (in confluence, meeting mins, disc, decision docs)
autonomy used for all projects and subtasks, PMs use it a lot, use outside of meeting mostly, mostly for leads and pms, most descriptions go into confluence
ee - doesnt use
efs - same as autonomy mostly, delegate to members, dont use conf for ongoing tasks, only leads use it
ops - most user is leads, pre similar
no strong feelings epic
Project Managers & Senior Members
Can we give them their own chat and access to the email (outlook) and such?
why do we need a specific PMs channel
pms in subteam lead chats
mech pms are in mech leads chat
autononmy does the same thing
subteams can do this themselves
should be done for all subteams so that PMs can ask for 2FA in those chats and other stuff
Why do PMs need email access?
Make a channel in #information
put all the passwords and such there!!
people wont talk in the channel
not that deep
flight test coordination & PMs should get it
Daniel Puratich done
can we do it on a need to know basis like the bay code?
Nathan Green Daniel Puratich agreed high level.
Clear difference between senior member and PM though?
more thinking go brrr
Project Manager Onboarding updates?
pure admin stuff grindset go brr
lots of PMs also fit IC definition
using senior member more often
PM leadership sync is good to get feedback!!
Organization Roles hard to find?
over documentation?
Role information is kind of scattered
Clearly outline role as a part of onboarding
bigger discussion for after?? next leads meeting
more Alison Thompson thoughts coming in future
