- Measuring effort -- Joey
- Need to find a way to express to TSC that we will always be getting more work than we can handle, to need a way to express how much we can take and things which might not possibly happen
Used Blueprints priorities to try to express this in the planning of 11.05 (TechnicalTopics)
- Michael Hope did something relatively advanced: used a low/average/high estimation of efforts on each blueprint and that helped him find out which blueprints we wanted to work on
- At the planning stage, you need something coarser grained than workitems to plan for this
- His tool is a bit of throwaway code
- Mounir brought up other tools we could use
- James says this discussion is actually ongoing in that we're trying to track higher level progress
- Joey will continue to research this; would like to get feedback from all techleads
- Need to start thinking now how we're going to plan next cycle, and feed that back to the TSC
- OCTO topics are outside of the TSC Tech Reqs / Tech Topics process though
- Jesse feels it would help to have a process/someone to help new people grasp all these things we do about work planning
- The Return of Ungodly hours?
- Sachin can't attend the calls, should we have an ungodly hours call again?
- Could have a meeting with just Europe and East people
- ACTION Alexander checks with Sachin which times he would be confortable with
