gothicmindfoodhey all!13:18
gothicmindfoodheads up/reminder that our rescheduled SWG meeting is in ~40 minutes in #openstack-meeting-313:18
*** alexismonville has joined #openstack-swg13:55
alexismonvillehello, is there's a meeting today?14:00
gothicmindfoodalexismonville: yep!14:01
alexismonvillegothicmindfood: cool, thx14:01
EmilienMttx: back here15:01
gothicmindfoodEmilienM: visions are viewed as things that can be modified, but hopefully don't have to be15:01
EmilienMttx: yeah my question was about, can we try baby steps15:01
alexismonvillein the definition ?15:01
EmilienMalexismonville: eventually15:01
EmilienMI don't know. I just like iterations in any work we're doing15:02
jrollthat's why I tend toward a shorter time frame for the first one15:02
alexismonvilleok :) we could say that we will have the vision ready in 3 weeks with a review each week and then that we will reconsider the vision at each PTG15:02
EmilienMI like to say "ok this is our target date, 2018, but before we can break down the document and set some milestones"15:03
flaper87jroll: I like the sound of a shorter time for the first one, it gives us room to learn from the process15:03
ttxEmilienM: I see them as a tool to weigh decisions along the way. "Is decision X getting us closer to our vision or further away"15:03
EmilienMand make iterations, so we can adjust our way to define the document15:03
gothicmindfoodEmilienM: milestones don't really belong in visions15:03
EmilienMI need a training15:03
EmilienMcan we do it next week?15:03
gothicmindfoodthey belong in project planning after the vision is agreed on15:03
EmilienM:-)15:03
gothicmindfoodEmilienM: :)15:03
jrollflaper87: yeah, exactly. I don't want us in a year to say "well, we still have a vision for the next year, let's not write another yet"15:03
gothicmindfoodEmilienM: there's a lot of good writing over here on them: https://www.zingtrain.com/business-visioning15:04
flaper87jroll: and that'll also provide more examples for future TC members and it'll make rotation easier15:04
gothicmindfoodjroll: but usually you start with a longer term vision, and then make visions around shorter term arrival-points (I think)15:04
EmilienMI'm also unsure why we target 2018, but I probably need to re-think and re-read the things here. I guess I missed something15:05
jrollgothicmindfood: sure, just as a new process I tend to keep it shorter15:05
EmilienMgothicmindfood: thx for the link, I'll give you feedback on what I learnt15:06
gothicmindfoodjroll: right, I think that's why I was getting into writing SWG visions for Barcelona/PTG15:06
jrollah :)15:06
gothicmindfoodbecause it's good practice for understanding what works and doesn't15:06
gothicmindfoodI still don't feel very good at writing visions15:07
gothicmindfoodor understanding how they work15:07
* EmilienM needs to be afk a bit15:07
jrollyeah, the tense throws me a bit, if that makes sense15:07
gothicmindfoodright? and sometimes I'm like "the leaves are falling and the air is chilly..." because it feels like I'm writing prose, not a plane15:08
gothicmindfoodplan15:08
gothicmindfoodbut, turns out that's the point (I think?)15:08
gothicmindfood:)_15:08
jrollheh, yeah15:08
jrollit's also hard to not inject the "how do we get there" bits15:10
persiaI find that it is easiest to write vision-y prose early in the day, before I'm fully awake, because I'm not yet ready to care about "how do we get there".15:11
jrollha, I like that15:14
