| Ongoing Goals (Procedural) |
| Be accessible: Keep doors open, be available on IM, answer the phone,
reply to email in a timely fashion |
| Better self promotion to other departments |
| Clear identification of roles, responsibilities, authority, and
ownership |
| Communicate openly and regularly and in a professional manner |

don't be wildly optimistic |
| Less tension, more fun |
Proper coordination of design and implementation
- Get appropriate people in early
- Clearly define requirements and acceptance criteria
- Don't overreach: solve the defined problem and save the rest for later
- Make sure customer understanding = developer understanding
- Create realistic testing scenarios
- Scale up gradually
|
| Publish: Papers, software packages, mailing lists |
| Regular self and group evaluations |
| Remain in regular contact with 7th floor |
| Resolve problems by consensus wherever possible |
| Share knowledge within and outside of AcIS |
| Spend an average of 1 hour per day on non-top priorities |
| Stricter adherence to the Project
Guidelines |
