Project Management and Meetings - NYCPlanning/data-engineering GitHub Wiki

Planning and tracking work

To plan and track our work we use:

• Data Engineering github project
• Data Updates github project
• Data Engineering channel in Microsoft Teams

When we plan to work on something that will require multiple issues, we use a project issue as a home base for discussions and tracking of those smaller tasks.

To coordinate cross-team work we use our github project, the edm-overview repo, and any other repos other teams may be working in.

Documents

We use the DE Planning notebook to document goals and initiatives for each quarter of the year.

We use the DE Data Catalog spreadsheet to document the release schedule for our data products.

We use the ITD Projects Portfolio and ITD Project Intake to align plans across the division.
