Figuring It All Out

At work today Scott, Aaron, and I started working on a process flow for vendor briefings. We started by drawing out the current process and and then highlighting the problem areas with Red marker. I think what you see when you look at the drawing is just how broken this process was. Current process:

We also spent time drawing out the ultimate process - which will never happen. Then we wrote down the 4 top priorities that needed to be accomplished. Lastly we created a drawing of what we are looking to accomplish in version 1.0 of the system. In this drawing we pointed out which priority we were addressing with all of our decisions.

At one point in the drawing we decided that there needed to be MAGIC. That is, there is a process that needs to happen, but we do not know how it will be accomplished. We are still working out a lot of this, but we are in a pretty good spot after our 2-hour meeting today.

Other than that, today was just a regular work day. I had Catalyst core team meeting, which I am really starting to feel the crunch on. 7 weeks out. Register now!
