With only a couple of meetings each day I could stretch out and get some focused work done. I managed to get a project definition document moved from draft to \u2018version 1.0\u2019 and caught up a little with my gigantic email backlog. Sadly the meetings crept back in as the week progressed. I\u2019ve come to dread that \u2018eighth videoconference of the day\u2019 feeling.<\/li>\n<li>Along with my family, felt as though we had settled into some new routines. The angst of being together all day every day has passed, and everyone seems to be getting on much better. We\u2019re all having dinner together every day, and finishing off with a family game of UNO or a movie. I\u2019m still struggling with finishing my work day much earlier than I otherwise would, but I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll get there.<\/li>\n<li>Celebrated my eldest son\u2019s 13th birthday. The years are short; from baby to teenager has gone by in a flash.<\/li>\n<li>Started a permanent role with my client, putting on hold my short career as a contractor. I absolutely love working there and it\u2019s great to properly join the team. My main role is going to be organising how we source, prioritise and deliver change work for our business in five major financial centres. It\u2019s going to be strange \u2014 in a nice way \u2014 to get back into the mindset that I can take the Easter weekend off and I will still get paid.<\/li>\n<li>Kicked off my time as a \u2018permanent\u2019 employee by taking the team through a slide deck on how we look at prioritisation using \u2018cost of delay divided by duration\u2019 (also known as \u2018weighted shortest job first\u2019 or \u2018WSJF\u2019). I had good feedback on the material and people have already started using the language in our discussions. I\u2019ve adopted a simple model that I found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scrumalliance.org\/ScrumRedesignDEVSite\/media\/ScrumAllianceMedia\/Global%20Scrum%20Gatherings\/2016%20Orlando\/Presentations\/HarbottKarim_The-Economics-of-Product-Development.pdf\" title=\"The Economics of Product Development \u2014 Kim Harbott, Apr 2016\">this presentation by Kim Harbott<\/a>, as shown below. I\u2019ve added some guidance on what constitutes a short, medium or long piece of work. My next problem is what orders of magnitude the \u2018cost of delay\u2019 side of the matrix should take. I\u2019d be interested if anyone has any good examples of this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_5687\" style=\"width: 946px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5687\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5687\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/EB2DD2D2-4E1F-420B-B1AA-F9A83DABA140.jpeg\" alt=\"Prioritisation matrix\" width=\"936\" height=\"905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/EB2DD2D2-4E1F-420B-B1AA-F9A83DABA140.jpeg 936w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/EB2DD2D2-4E1F-420B-B1AA-F9A83DABA140-300x290.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/EB2DD2D2-4E1F-420B-B1AA-F9A83DABA140-768x743.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Prioritisation matrix<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Closed off a mini-project to get our Beijing staff working while they are out of the office and in lockdown. In the absence of having ordered our proper end-state laptops, we had some of our employees purchase consumer devices from <a href=\"https:\/\/jd.com\" title=\"JD.com\">JD.com<\/a>. Our team were able to walk them through the process of upgrading from Windows 10 Home China edition to Windows 10 Enterprise, extracting the hardware hash so that we could register the laptops as \u2018ours\u2019, and then taking them through the Autopilot\/Intune build process. The choices we made a couple of years ago are really paying off in just the way that we envisaged.<\/li>\n<li>Attended a \u2018town hall\u2019 meeting with the rest of the International team. It was excellent to get a business update and understand how the company has been helping our clients, particularly given how troubled the economic waters are.<\/li>\n<li>Had a wonderful end to the week where our COO and his daughter broadcast a gig to all of us from his living room using Teams Live Events. It sounded amazing, and was lovely to be a part of something with the rest of the staff around the world as we headed into the weekend.<\/li>\n<li>Continued to exercise every day, although my legs have started to complain. I\u2019m planning to take advantage of it being a little rainy on Monday to have a rest day before getting back to it. I just need to make sure that my food consumption also has a bit of a rest.<\/li>\n<li>Couldn\u2019t get enough of video calls during the the day, so joined both the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/35552325\" title=\"Patreon: Remainiacs vs The Bunker\">Remainiacs vs The Bunker<\/a><\/em> and <a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/SmokeFairies\" title=\"Facebook: Smoke Fairies\">Smoke Fairies<\/a> live sessions.
