1. Derek Owns Daily PM Accountability
Nobody has owned the daily loop-closing. Meetings generate tasks but nobody checks if they're done. That pattern ends today.
Derek
By EOD Today
"So when you say these 2 important rocks, like what comes to mind for you?" — Derek, committing to step up
2. Will Delivers Align360 Model Updates
Samuel's product is stalled — models need to be in admin so the alpha feedback loop can start.
Will
By Wednesday Apr 8
"I am committing to getting out the new version of Samuel's models and tools for the Align 360 products." — Will
3. Align on Roles Before Samuel Call
Samuel needs a clear point of contact and to understand that alpha means feedback loops, not finished software.
Derek
Will
3pm MST Today
"I'll hop on with Samuel and set up a cadence with him today." — Will
Blockers
Sumit just had a baby — limited tech availability
Unblock: Jason (has cloned repo, can push to test server directly)
Mitigation: Jason and Sumit synced code access last week. Jason can handle direct pushes while Sumit is out.
"Well, we may or may not [be constrained]. I've downloaded the code repo, I'm hooking up my agents." — Jason
Derek lacks access to landing page / design system skills
Unblock: Jason (has the skills, can generate pages on request)
Mitigation: Derek sends content specs to Jason, who generates. Not scalable but works now.
"I don't have access to the skill is what I meant. And I know we've been working on that, but I would mark that as a priority." — Derek
No PM infrastructure exists — dashboard is months old and untouched
Unblock: Derek + Jason (start with Slack/text, build tool later)
Mitigation: Jason's first principle: "It doesn't matter if it's a spreadsheet. We gotta go."
"I think the opportunity cost is pretty low to get a modest version standing." — Derek
Decisions Made
1. Derek is the project manager — owns daily accountability and loop-closing
Agreed by: Jason, Will, Derek
Previously: nobody owned PM. Now: Derek holds everyone accountable daily.
"Yes, I will own it." — Derek | "If everybody owns it, nobody owns it." — Jason
2. Will owns product — models, UX, user interfaces, customer specs
Agreed by: Jason, Will
Previously: informal. Now: explicit lane. Will leads product shape and experience.
3. Jason owns technology — backend, agents, infrastructure, code pushes
Agreed by: Jason, Will
Previously: informal. Now: explicit lane. Jason leads all backend/systems work.
4. Derek is the customer-facing point of contact for Samuel (and future JVs)
Agreed by: Jason, Will, Derek
Previously: Will handled all client comms (sometimes delayed). Now: Derek is front face, Will translates product needs.
"Take a customer service face... I got that." — Derek
5. Samuel gets alpha-loop expectations, NOT finished software
Agreed by: Jason, Will
Previously: unclear delivery expectations. Now: "Find 30 things wrong. If you can't find 30, you didn't push hard enough."
6. New offers must pass the "will we do this 100 more times?" filter
Agreed by: Jason, Derek
Previously: taking on one-off work. Now: only build if it becomes a repeatable cookie cutter.
"Everything we say yes to is a no to everything else." — Jason
