Darin

Done thinking and planning...the first sprint is underway

    “We are the Dark Side of the Force”

    Wow what a week!

    Squeezing a week into a day

  • Two teams and two sprints kicked off

  • Garret

    Retail and 3PL L10 Meetings kicked off

  • Carter kicking off projects

    Real headline, Carter needs a proper OWTF name

    “Sales Integrator Carter”

  • James (as always 1 succinct headline)

    Loves the “same name rule”

    If you have the same name, pick a new one

  • “The world is an oyster”

    With all the feels

  • Next key is finally unlocking

    Finally able to delegate and get things done

  • TL/DR(L) - James has all the awesome feels

  • Facilitator Ari

    “No!”

  • Cue the video game voice and T-Rex walk

    00:18:16 - Topic 2 (1) What’s going on with People and Product

    Tyler is still trying to define what he does

    Still playing a little Scrum Master

  • The importance of a good organizational system

    “If you’re gonna wake up and just think about what to get done today, you’re gonna drop 4 out of 5 balls”

  • Tyler is lowering the barrier of when to go to James

  • James has never yelled at someone at work

    Darin yells and gets kisses

  • Plans and schedules are a good thing

    Facilitator Ari prefers chaos

  • Tyler and Darin switch roles

  • This week, Darin feels “Sad Happiness”

  • Company restructure has a Facilitator Ari people side. What’s been going on there?

    Ari is missing the people and personal interaction

  • Call to the listeners...we’re hiring.

  • Ari looks for permission while James promotes what he permits

  • “Bulldozers and couches have feelings”

  • Garret forgets to “hang the banner” on reporting structure

  • Facilitator Ari raises her hand to speak (for a first time)

    As all podcast amateurs do

  • James is excited about significantly less “face meat”

    00:41:45 - Questions and (Seriously) Long Answers 

    Listener Becca:

    Curious what does healthy conflict look like? And what does non-James healthy conflict look like?

    “If you’re 49/51 and I’m 90/10, my passion is going to overpower”

  • Are there 60 or 90 day post rock reviews?

    Cue shortest answer in Questions and Seriously Long answers history.
