Subteam Discussion sessions

  • You may choose from these topics:

    • Something relevant to your subteam’s workplan, like workshopping an idea, getting feedback on a decision

    • Suggestions for TAC documentation/training

    • Simply to tell us what your subteam does! Walk us through a recent agenda, talk about a recent decision, peel back the curtain on your subteam!

Frequency and Team:

October - Not a subteam discussion because it’s too early in term, unless Testing wants this spot since 3.3.0 will be recently released

November - Testing

December - Metadata

January - No meeting

February - Joint meeting with UAC (DevPri)

March - Integrations

April - Tech Docs

June - Retrospective

I (Valerie) will put a note on your calendars for the meeting when your team will speak.
