Process and Timeline

Team members post deliverables in this group for: written feedback and discussions around all production tied to the Futures Knowlab proe. Everytime something is posted in the group, members recieve automatic email notifications containing a summary + link to follow should you wish to comment.

Our Process

Thursdays: a synthesis of feedback on deliverables and points for discussion during the call is posted online and an email reminder sent to all team members to check it.

Fridays: weekly google hangouts for brainstorming, progress checks, planning and decision making.

Decision-making and sign off

We post scripts and 1st versions of articles as collaboratively editable documents (wikis). Everyone discusses their contents by leaving comments in the section at the bottom of each page.

The opening for feedback is one week only: Ahead of each Google hangout the production team reviews feedback collected during the previous week, summarises and reacts to it (what is feasible, what requires additional input from e.g. Riel etc).

Google hangouts are the final cutoff point for gathering and including feedback into production of each respective deliverable. Summaries of each google hangout are posted online directly after the call.
