Co-chairs update

Announcement: Thursday, Josephine Tan will present to Ops Leads on UCSF’s Decision RACI for their local group at 1pm.

Ask Ben & Adrian: Where have we documented the communication path from project to local group? (see All Chairs meeting notes). Good to have a place of record to link to. Should this be included in a blog post? somewhere else?

Nothing to report

(Ops Leads) Group timeline

Review email to chairs about group timeline and consider how to make it easy for chairs to respond

Ben, Adrian

• Purpose of understanding deliverables and phases for Com Leads is to identify where communication is needed, i.e., what’s news-worthy and get it onto a Com calendar.

• Do we ask for project timelines for each group if it will be challenging for them to respond? Yes but make the request lightweight and easy.

• An example of a milestone that could go on a timeline that affects many groups: “All decisions regarding data migration are due June 26”

• We could create a summary RACI with decisions by date. Adrian is not convinced this is needed.

• Cohort is starting to be aware of the dependencies of decision-making (domino effect).

• Reminder that static timelines may not be consulted so it’s critical to communicate to stakeholders when something is happening.

• Another option: Calendar for each month with deliverables listed by date on the calendar.

• Formal communication plan needs to be part of the decision-making process and included on each decision page (share this at the July 1 SILS meeting)

Com Leads to proceed with the ask to chairs of their group timeline (deliverables and phases of their work).

Ask for it now, in advance of individual Coms meetings, so you have something as a starting point for your discussion with the group chairs.

Share group timeline responses with Ops Leads to see if anything should go on the overall timeline.
