notes from scrum on high level stuff

[tansaku]

Ashley Ideas

Content grooming
Getting content in right places for right people
85% of stuff there

in Slack

• 89 channels
• no one will come in and look at every channel
• new people aren't going to understand what each channel is for
• guiding people to the main channels and then giving them a way to find the other channels, project specific or whatever is really important

Lara

better understanding of how to direct people to the right places when they sign up would be good.

Michael

since we changed to slack in 2014 - we automatically invite people (when they sign up to AV.org)

[#general, #techtalk, #random]

Welcome to @alexander_kh @nparsons @normjmeyer @ragesoss and @brinderdhaliwal  great to have you with us! Please do introduce yourself in #new_members (if you haven't already), and if you have any general technical thoughts/issues/questions please ask in #techtalk - #random is for everything else :slightly_smiling_face:

see https://github.com/AgileVentures/AgileVentures/blob/master/JOINING_A_PROJECT.md for more on joining a project

could a bot do a welcome message? and the bot could say "if you want to talk to a human message @tansaku"

Ashley

It's about here's how to get started and here's how to learn more

Lara

where do you land after sign up?

• sent a welcome email
• send the slack invite
• land on home page - pops up a banner asking you to fill in profile details

Sam

we want to guide people in better

Ashley

in a big corporation we'd look at logs and A/B testing, and analyse slack questions to create a faq, and create a bot or make other interventions

figure out where the holes are.

Lara

FAQ question would be helpful - even if it links back to the blog

Sam

WSO had thomas as project manager - he had 20+ different people over 2 years working on the site. I was the customer - I was channeling the many desires of the different users.

Now I'm co-PM with Raoul. Made WSO a priority project. Only premium members can work on it. Michael and I have been the key developers over the last 8/9 months.

Ashley

Stakeholders need to decide how we help people get to projects, how they hear about Premium etc.

Need for a "High level vision that describes what the site is trying to achieve."

What's the project focus?

Action Items

• Create high level users stories for the main site?
• Domain model ....

How will AgileVentures the site, help people get involved and derive value from the whole thing.

[weedySeaDragon]

Specific Action Items:

• Ashley will create a skeletal "project brief" document that AV stakeholders & others can then modify and 'fill out'. (Goals = keep this as easy as possible for stakeholders so that they don't have spend too much time on it, this is version 2.0 of a high level vision for what AV -- as an organization -- wants to do.)
• This 'content work' will live in AgileVentures/AgileVentures github repo
