Hello Yellow, James Westby and I are starting to do retrospectives, inspired by you guys.
I came across your "Starting a project checklist". I like it. It should maybe link to Launchpad's own checklist, <https://dev.launchpad.net/CreatingNewProjects>. Your checklist on "Depending on another developer" reminded me of a checklist I recently saw about delegation. That is, you need to establish these things up-front[1]: 1. Desired results [spend time here, include "when"] 2. Guidelines [what I'd call constraints] 3. Resources available [money, team, people] 4. Accountability [what measures, how often] 5. Consequences [natural ones & incentives] I've found that in the past I've missed or assumed 3-5. jml [1] From "Seven Habits". Covey calls it "stewardship delegation", which makes me cringe a little, but emphasises that the delegate is in charge. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
