Getting Stuff Done at Life Itself (revision Nov 2023)

[rufuspollock]

Update our work planning and delivery process (iterations, OKR etc)

Requests for these things were also expressed:

• having a scrum leader (role could rotate)
• having the overall game clear (this is more per sprint) - a need for a scheduled individual teams/whole team sprint planning meeting.

These are to be discussed more at the core team meeting on Friday, Dec 1.

Have completed a fully shaped proposal for this. About to start PR for revised GSD.

@rufuspollock I wasn't sure where to put our HackMD work from yesterday, so I moved it to my own Scratch for the time being and have made a small start on writing up the revised GSD page. https://hackmd.io/gL9eHMKnRtWNzejPqKQXOw

I'm also not sure where to move the meeting notes, so they are still in the Life Itself scratch.

FIXED.
