Fall 2022 Term Goals
Competition is approaching quickly and we need to start picking up the pace
Aggressive competition goal for this term - hard push
every subsystem must be functional by end of term (first build for autonomy, tested and functional comms, moving drivetrain and arm, working science system)
Communication goals
weekly leads meetings - communication will be key to keep things moving!
meetings must have purpose and be concise - largescale group meetings will be capped at 30min for updates, technical discussions will be scheduled separately
Team culture goal
In-person work sessions for each sub-teams at least once a week
update the website
Subteam Recruitment Goals
Which subteams are looking to take on more members?
Overloading recruitment can be a burden so we should be a bit more careful with recruitment - fall term will bring in a lot of 1A students
Science looking for new members, firmware also needs more members
Business is open to new members (grey zone)
PM Tool

PM emails for edit access
This tool will be managed by team leads to track every active task the team is working on
With proper implementation, PM timeline would dictate task assignment and work distribution for each week (offload from subteam leads at weekly leads meetings)
For more clarification, we are aiming to get all subsystems to an M1 build minimum by end of term
Team leads to meet with subteam leads individually to discuss sheet before term starts
Feedback open and appreciated
