How are you doing, hope you had a good day? Surprisingly here today it was sunny unlike yesterday when we got the reminder that we are already in September. All that to say, the day has been but of course you couldn’t just figure out because weather and performance aren’t always related, or are they? Anyway, enough about the weather. I’m providing below my progress for the day.
I attended the data stand up where the data team was informed about the new project plan and new lead. The main point to take from that meeting is that they thought, as expected the priority list was too long. They would expect us to reduce by at least half although the exact number would be communicated later. Essentially, they expect an ordering list where first priority are those variables we couldn’t proceed without and secondary are those we would need but not immediately. It was also mentioned the idea of having a framework to establish what test is required for each variable. I found it strange because the MIRS has an entire section on DQ check. Nevertheless, DS shared the list with me to categorise the variables from which we will later make a decision. AB & RL helped in going through it. As I write, I am expecting AB to share the updated version which I will forward to DS. 
During our usual standup, AG said there are some variables for default investigation work she is doing that she couldn’t find. However, having shared those with RL we could confirm those were available. It helps to raise questions when unsure, I know you already know that but just saying in case I forget myself. I didn’t need to provide any update today but seeing that DS just shared an invite for tomorrow morning I need to be on my toe!

Today also was the first session of the fortnightly call on Aiden. We focused mainly on discussing how different group members are using the platform and how to measure the impact effectively.  I talked about how I use it for code debugging, translation and explanation. I also mentioned that I use to for planning and general writing. The task that has been assigned to all of us and me in particular for next meeting is to work out how I could track the progress that I would be making using Aiden and more importantly how I could demonstrate the value gotten from using it.  Please remind me to do this exercise before the next meeting and that I come to it much prepared. 

We had a first introductory MUG session today. Unfortunately due to misunderstanding or lack of information only the FLOD team was there not the SLOD. But the one thing that I remember from the meeting is that banks don’t actually default in the traditional way they often resolve. And apparently such a discussion took place previously and the conclusion wasn’t satisfactory. That is definitely something to look into further. 

I reiterate the plan for the DQ during a meeting I held with AB & RL and they are in agreement with the suggested approach. Now it’s up to me to make sure we deliver as agreed. I kind of like the way we are working together and I need to find ways for them to enjoy the work.

That’s all for today

Cheers
Andy
