Progress: Selected a Guide to work on How to Present Your Work (UX Research), Reached Slide 12 of GP: How to Gather Examples and Interview Teams (CoP presentation)
Blockers: Stuck on Slide 12 right now so trying to understand the process mentioned on that slide as I go through the PPT.
Availability: I should have about 6 hours, more if I don't get too much workload.
ETA: Apologies but I can't say for sure, I just took on the issue so I need to go through the documentation of the issue itself and the "How to gather example" ppt.
Pictures (if necessary): Currently there aren't any to share right now.
@designer2209 Thanks for your update, you can reach out if you are still stuck. I've also checked your observations, and we will review and try to resolve them at the next meeting. Your ETA doesn't have to be a specific time, not knowing when is also a good ETA 😊
Resolved comments today. Also added several new slides to the Slack method 4. @designer2209 will add some more slides with instructions after slide 22 in order to make it clear to new people how to find the items once they viewed the specific comment in the slack.
Added Slide 23 and Slide 24. Slide 23 has a video embedded into it and you can find that video in my drive Hack4LA Guides-Gather Example Method 4.mp4. Take a look at the slides and if there are any other changes to be made please do let me know.
Progress: Currently working on the Guide: How to Present Your Work (UX Research), to be specific I am going through 311 Data's slack channel and gathering examples. I've added some info in the comments section of the Guide itself.
Blockers: No blockers as of now.
Availability: I have a couple of interviews and 2 side projects this week so I don't know how often I'll be available, but I will try to be put in as much time as I can.
ETA: I think I might be able to go through 311 Data's slack channel within a two to three days.
Pictures (if necessary):
During today's meeting, we reviewed progress on slides for Method 4. Prakhar will update the video to be as short as possible and make sure its stored in the drive.
Updated the video in Slide 23 and uploaded the video in HackforLA's Google drive.
Progress: Still working on the Guide: How to Present Your Work (UX Research), I've gone through the slack channels of 100 Automations 311 Data Access the Data BallotNav
Civic Tech Index Civic Tech Jobs
Blockers: No blockers as of now.
Availability: I have to work on a Design assignment as a part of the hiring process, once I am done with that I'll start working on gathering examples from the remaining projects' slack channels.
ETA: I honestly have no idea
Progress: Gone through the GP: How to Gather Examples and Interview Teams (CoP presentation) completely and added a few more points in the GT: Notes on Gather presentation - Prakhar document. I'll be going through the PPT again and think of ways to simplify the content so that new members can follow it without any difficulty and also continue with example gathering for the issue Guide: How to Present Your Work (UX Research) #24.
Blockers: No Blockers.
Availability: I have about 6-10 this week for the issues.
ETA: I've gone through half of the list of "Projects to be checked" till now so I think another 2 weeks at least.
Pictures (if necessary): No pictures this time.
Update the word document GT: Notes on Gather presentation - Prakhar with the following:
Slide 7: Added the remaining CoPs in the list, only the ones that had “Templated and Guides” board link on the Community of Practice Guide Project Boards on GitHub.
Slide 16: Added a new screenshot for “Finding Examples: Method 1 Exercise”, the text in the slide says “Let’s try Method 2 together!” Should I remove that? Because that slide is a continuation of Slide 15.
Slide 18: Made slight adjustments to the content on the slide.
Slide 19: Added a screenshot for an example where we did find some results by looking at the issue tab.
Slide 42: Added this slide and the screenshot mentioned in the table above for Slide 41.
Flowchart for Slide 33 remains, I'll be doing that over this weekend.
We covered all the comments above. Prakar will make additional changes.
Looked at slides above
Slide 19 still needs new screenshots. Note on the slide.
fix the screenshots - size of the items inside the screen need to be the same and the comments need to be the same color.
bottom left results should be similar to bottom right, but with details about what you found.
Talked about flowchart.
Let's make this in figjam in the team file area: https://www.figma.com/files/team/1021794324698928161/Guides using the template for flowchart.
Made the changes in the Figjam file mentioned during the meeting.
Will work on the screenshots tomorrow.
- Made the changes in the Figjam file mentioned during the meeting.
- Will work on the screenshots tomorrow.
@designer2209 How's it going with the screenshots?
I have yet to take the screenshots, I have some job interview related work which usually doesn't take long but I haven't been feeling well so it might take longer than expected, but I will do it before Monday's meeting.
Update:
I've added 3 screenshots (Upper left, Lower left and Upper right) I am unsure whether they are accurate representation of the "Method" mentioned in the slide so I might need a feedback during Monday's meeting.
I've uploaded a screenshot of the flowchart as well but due to the amount of content in the chart I think it's not properly visible so I am thinking of making a flowchart using Google Slide's in-built shapes.
@designer2209 Thanks for the update, Bonnie will review the screenshots when she's available
Prakhar will change the shape of the diamonds to parallelogram on slide 38
Finished updating the Flowchart
Went through a few more slack channels today and updated the following in the guide's issue.

Started connecting with other teams on Slack, will keep a log of all the conversations that takes place in the respective threads of each slack channel in this comment
Progress: I have been able to connect with members of 100 Automations, 311 Data, Access the Data, BallotNav, Civic Opportunity, Civic Tech (Index, Jobs), Design System, Engage and Expunge Assist regarding what their Lead UX Researchers or Project Managers are using as a template or a guideline to present their UX research work. The updated communication summary is linked onto this comment.
Blockers: Haven't had a response from Civic Opportunity, and apart from the projects that I reached out to recently only BallotNav had some sort of template to share which is present in my guide issue as well.
BallotNav Communications Guide for Document Creation INTERNAL to present their UX Research work
Availability: This week I am available for 6 hours
ETA: Not sure, the time difference slows down the communication aspect and I have some personal work to deal with so I am less online than usual.
I've rephrased my messages on Slack that I've sent to the Lead UX researchers or PMs of the respective projects. Hopefully I was able to do it right this time, I have updated them in the comment of my guide issues as well.
@designer2209 are you planning to continue to work with the guides team? Please let me know if we should anticipate any further work on the style guide, or if we should take steps to offboard you at this time.
Hi @edwardsarah, apologies for the late response and at this point of time I am unfortunately unable to commit any time to the Guides Teams as of now so you could go ahead offboard me.
Again, apologies for any inconveniences. 😓
Ok, I will close this issue then. Thank you for all of the work you've done!
