Accomplishments for the past period:
- met with Greg & Morgan to resolve several issues
- resolved team staffing issues; Tim McGovern joined the team but
refused the team's paddling initiation ceremony
- resolved plans to ensure strong communication path with CAO;
will use focus group/check-in model with key CAO staff & other
targeted audiences; may use business unit staff on subteams
- finalized the description of the printing involved in this project
- drafted first list of interviewees
- finalized data gathering interview "script" and questions
- agreed to recommend use of consultant to assist technical subteam;
final decision will be made by the subteam; obtained cost estimates
Goals for the coming period:
- begin scheduling interviews (carry over)
- review and update WBS as required
- develop draft plan for focus groups and beef-up communications plan
- complete the review of known centralized print information
(e.g., customers, volumes, forms, business appl, etc.)
- pester Greg and others regarding subteam staffing needs
- plan next Advisory Group check-in
Issues:
- need to line up the internal technical & business modeling team
resources, and outside consultant soon
- timeline adjustment may be required after subteam formations
Key learnings:
We probably should have defined the Advisory Group's role more
clearly from the start.
Team dynamics:
We're okay. Tim's a great addition to the team. We're getting a
lot done, and we laugh a lot too!
