PR Meeting Preparation

Preparation

  • You are the hosts. I will be teaching
  • Don’t make the invited guests wait!
  • Decide between the teams the order of the meetings
  • This is a review meeting not a presentation or pitch
  • Team should decide how the meeting is run
  • Make notes and especially action items from PR
  • Think through Meeting agenda
    • What do you want to present?
    • What questions and advice you would like from your reviewer?

Things to bring to the meeting

  • Whatever the PR has asked you to prepare (if anything.)
  • New and improved one page summary of the product
  • Your github repo with what you have so far
    • Should have at least SOME unit tests
    • Should have the full schema represented
    • You should have it deployed to Heroku
  • Final diagram of db schema
    • Make sure one of youcan explain it and answer any and all questions about it.
    • Use any format or tool you like
  • Paper Prototype
    • Include multiple single screens
    • Include a UX Flow map
  • Trello list of stories, prioritized

Running the meeting

  • Look at this as a “product review meeting” you might have with the CEO or CTO of your company. See also BillG Review
  • The meeting will go around 45 minutes. Make the most of it.
  • The team should lead the discussion to decide what to cover next.
  • It’s kind of like when you go to the doctor, they ask you, “So what brings you here.” You decide how to use the time.
