Meetings Reflection

All

• 9/4 Meeting

  • Sub-team leads feedback

    • Lots of people!

    • Engagement good

    • Loop in people on the slides better

    • Keep details higher level - provide less in the weeds details

    • Provide detail when it’s relevant

    • Payload

      • Very open-ended conversation went well

    • Vehicle

      • We could have planned some issues better (like discuss which problems we should open up to freshman)

      • Only so much time we can do things until boredom

      • Heavy side of talking at people

  • Engagement

    • Relax on telling stories and talking at them, rebalance towards engagement

  • What could have been improved

• 9/6 Meeting

  • Sub-team leads feedback

    • Payload

      • Collected research, some freshman found the problem too open-ended

      • Not enough time for research

      • On track just need to discuss feasibility

    • Vehicle

      • Got into a roll of what they’ve learned

      • Difficult to get things out of them

      • Distracting because of room setup

    • BIC time

      • Lots of talking at them

      • Random stories that weren’t totally helpful

      • “here are where tools are” should take 5 mins

      • We’re not that far into the season so we can’t really build anything

      • Too open-ended vision

  • Engagement

  • What could have been improved?
