14.1 Collaboration assessments

Every month we have a “collaboration-assessment” meeting. At the least, the tech leads and/or representatives from each work package need to attend, but it is open to anyone working on DP-Next. We follow the style of a meeting type called a “retrospective” that is also used in the Seedcase Project.

During these meetings we discuss ways we can improve collaboration within and between work packages. The focus is mainly on collaboration practices, tools, and methods that could benefit the project as a whole or multiple work packages. We discuss what went well, what didn’t go well, and what we can improve. Then we create action items to address the issues we identified.

14.2 Update meetings

Every week we have a very short “update” meeting. We follow the style used in the Seedcase Project. Briefly, during the meeting, we screenshare the project board and go over the tasks on the board that are at the “in-progress” state or later (e.g. “in review”). Each person gives an a very brief update on their tasks they’ve been working on since the last update meeting. Specific attention is given to tasks that have blocks or barriers to completion.
