Team Guideline
‣
- Absolutely no acronyms, so readable by most of the team (and as many in the community).
- Avoid generic words like fixes, improvements, prep, follow up, optimize
- Delete redundant words: complete, deliver, publish.
- Verifiable on completion % by end of the month.
- Use absolute numbers (not relative percentages).
- Add a 30-second video as developer screencast or product demo.
- Use up exactly two lines: write out specific examples in parenthesis like (?? & ??), list two key features; use formal writing and proper sentence casing.
- Link to public docs (Notion/GitHub/Forum) for each of the 3 items.
- Read and learn from the best in the rest of the docs.
‣
- 5/31 Tuesday: write deliverables with manager review
- 6/6 Monday: report deliverables during All Hands
- 6/_ Monday 5pm: locked for managers only
- 6/30 Thursday: immutable, email “below expectations” for performance & bonus
