Do we actually need to have everybody working on oranges / quality at once? Shouldn't we just prioritize it (probably permanently) in a way such that _some_ members of every team are working on it?
Saying "everybody needs to work on this together" is a socially expedient way of getting volunteers to do things, but we have a large paid staff and management/planning structure that is designed to direct some of our resources to walking and some of them to chewing gum. Last spring I worked on media quality while other people worked on features. It went great, and there was far less coordination overhead than if everyone was trying to work on the same thing. bholley On Tue, Dec 22, 2015 at 8:32 AM, Mike Conley <mcon...@mozilla.com> wrote: > You had me at "quality". :) > > On 22/12/2015 11:16 AM, Douglas Turner wrote: > > Mike -- totally supportive of this.
