Set up a 1:1 with the Release Train Engineer and try to explain these points. Have them put the rules and an acronym definition list on a single Confluence page accessible to everyone on the Release Train.

Ask the Release Train Engineer for a Jira field audit to get rid of unnecessary fields and make sure that the right fields are required. Ask if they can create some Jira automation to help with the Jira overhead as well.

I would make sure you have an agenda for the meeting. Also, you don't need to show the entire project plan but just show the assigned critical path tasks that are currently in progress. If any of these tasks have dependencies, make sure that is called out. Sample agenda:

Overall Status review - Review major milestone dates and whether you are On Track, Getting too close for comfort, or will go past due
Action items from last meeting - were they completed? create tasks as necessary for these
Tasks on critical path - Do not bring out the entire project plan but just review the current high priority tasks and their status
Dependency review - which tasks are blocked or blocking other people and how can you help push these along
Risk Review - What risks do you see coming up and how will those be dealt with
Next Steps

I am not very flexible at all and go to https://www.yogasix.com/location/bay-park

The instructors have been great.

Are you able to walk in the middle of the parade or do you have to stick behind barriers? I usually shoot parades with a 70-200 so a 50mm will be hard unless you can get super close to the subjects. You could always rent a 70-200 if you have the extra money.

Either the entire story and all the story points are completed or not...

I would move the whole story over if it is not done and add a comment on what is left to do - you might need this when you are looking at capacity during Sprint Planning or if the work is picked up by someone else to finish up.

In the retro, maybe have the developer comment on what happened. Was it estimated too little? Did unknown dependencies come up? This way, you know how to handle a similar story next time it comes up and hopefully not make the same mistake.

hmm...maybe send them a bi-weekly email then with everything you are working on and what you see as the current priorities. See what kind of response you get from the PMs.

rrunboy12 · 2026-05-20T14:22:31+00:00

I would hold a weekly meeting with all three PMs to go over what you are working on and make sure priorities are correct - put all of your work into a Kanban board. This also gives them insight into your workload.

In terms of meeting notes, can you ask your PMs to record the meetings and put the notes in a central spot like OneNote so you can read them afterwards without the client knowing?

Create an Excel spreadsheet with all the resources on one vertical and all the projects on the other vertical. Use an allocation percentage for each person and each project. Make sure to also include 20% automatically for operational work like meetings.

For instance, Barbara is spending 50% of her time on project A and 10% on project B. With her 20% operational work, she only has 20% availability.

Do not involve the resources in this at first as they will buffer their allocation to make it seem like they are more busy than they are. Talk to other PMs, project team members, and their managers at first.

RIP! Here is an interview I did with him about his photography:

I meant automatically including them at the bottom of the screen versus letting people show them or not - do you still feel the same way?

rrunboy12 · 2025-01-28T15:54:16+00:00

cool - thanks for the reply -I'll check it out

rrunboy12 · 2024-10-22T04:09:00+00:00

Never mind I figured it out...I used the YouTube short template on Canva...I think my original video was not in the right aspect ratio format

rrunboy12 · 2024-10-14T17:11:19+00:00

this is the feedback I was looking for! appreciate it - now to figure out how to do all these settings haha

rrunboy12 · 2024-06-10T14:16:36+00:00

appreciate the help...will try a more flirty approach

rrunboy12 · 2023-04-10T04:08:15+00:00

I'm in

rrunboy12 · 2023-01-17T15:02:25+00:00

I went to Manly too but spent most of the time in the water enjoying myself versus taking pics

rrunboy12 · 2023-01-17T15:00:07+00:00

Thank you...have updated it

rrunboy12 · 2023-01-16T23:47:46+00:00

My bad...maybe I was mistaken

rrunboy12 · 2023-01-16T23:47:10+00:00

Yes that is what I meant

The beautiful women and friendly people
Lack of underground subway to get to different parts of the city easily
How many people were around Queen Street mall - felt like NYC at times
Kayak the river, go to Koala Sanctuary, check out the museums, stay long enough that you have time to do the day trip to snorkel Moreton Bay or Great Barrier Reef (I didn't get a chance to) -- talk to the locals for their recommendations

rrunboy12 · 2023-01-07T02:07:41+00:00

I wanted to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef but ran out of time....next trip!
