Semester 2: Post 6

I spent last week with my nose down focusing on making the better presentation. I hit what was written on the check list of things that needed to be addressed in the presentation but I didn't sell that we had a plan moving forward. It seems that we really didn't. We were working on something better but I'd been too hands off leaving everything to the leads. People were working in isolation and I didn't want to disturb them in their hole. People have emerged from their holes now though.

We have a plan now. I was afraid to plan. I selected the members of this team because I respect them a lot and I didn't want to shackle them with my incompetent producering. In doing that I was incompetent. I wasn't ready to plan because I was waiting for the designers to produce good, solid documentation and in not making it clear that I wanted that I failed them again. It's not too late to be great but I'd say we've lost at least a week of good work in these weeks of playing it loose.
