Objective
- As we get closer to launch of MVP, we need to have tighter coordination, accountability, and ownership amongst our Design/Product/Engineering/QA teams to ensure a successful release
Initiative:
- Launch cross-functional teams called "Feature Pods" that own each of the main MVP features from design to deployment
- Feature Pod will have a Design Coordinators, Product Coordinators, and Engineering Coordinators (we will also have a secondary lead for each team who can step in for the primary lead, if needed)
- Coordinators will be the primary points of contact for that feature within their areas of expertise through MVP launch
- Each feature pods will also have team members from Design/Product/Engineering that can join as needed or as available- it will be up the coordinators of each feature pod to determine if/when they need additional resources
Commitment as Feature Pod Coordinators:
- Own features for your area (i.e., Design, Eng, Product) until we launch MVP- become the subject matter expert on your feature
- Availability throughout the week to communicate with other Coordinators and team members on feature status and answer any questions
- Remove/address blockers for your team
- Raise or escalate issues/risks/help needed to larger team
- Be excited about your feature!
