03/15/22: Conducted break out meeting with UX team after team meeting, reviewed all issues opened regarding Board of Advisors. Going to start with Issues #471 and #480. Team will review issues and add feedback, questions and notes to be discussed at the next UX meeting scheduled for this Monday, 03/21/22. Tasks will be assigned to team members at that time.

This week we will also review all current issues, add status updates, complete where we can, or move to prioritized backlog depending on whether issue is a priority considering current scope of project.

@staceyrebekahscott uploaded the video and the transcript (the video is just me and her on the phone)

staceyrebekahscott commented 2 years ago

Briefly reviewed transcript, will need to clean up as it is a bit difficult to read in its current format.

Given the new direction of the BallotNav project, all other issues related to the Board of Advisors has been moved to the backlog, and assignees removed.

We should work on a follow up with Bonnie to brief her on where the current status of this is, can probably be an email to start and a meeting if needed. The current thinking is that this is less of a priority at the moment, as we are rethinking the BallotNav project as a whole, and the UX team will be prioritizing work on the "organization research" (to be made into its own project based on #481)

Leaving this in In Progress for now, as we need to brief Bonnie on current status and get her feedback.

staceyrebekahscott commented 2 years ago

Spoke with Bonnie during team meeting and briefed her on the current status of the Board of Advisors project, letting her know I will work to get her the plans for this and the Market Fit Research project by the end of this week.
