Session Agenda & Proceeding (9XS)
- Work Session 2005.04.14 - KurtConrad, BobSmith & PeterYim (C3A)
- Kurt: our problem is that community members engage at levels they choose, planning has nothing to do with traction (C3E)
- Peter: we've got CoP activities (casual) and Project Activities (disciplined); if the latter is funded, then we can better reinforce the discipline (C3F)
- Kurt-Bob-Peter: 6 buckets (C3G)
- Kurt's table: Issue or Activities - Source - Buckets(6) - Priority - Dependencies - Resources - Level of Interest (C3M)
- Priority & Level of Interest: 1 ~ 5, 5 being high (C3P)
- Resources: in terms of getting enough resources to pull the activity off (C3V)
- Action Items (C3B)
