Hi
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 no problem but please keep me and Ian in the loop - there's another dashboard meeting on Wednesday so more work on this is expected 
Anna v.
Robyn Robyn
 we’re currently waiting on feedback from Jane regarding Draft 1 of the dashboards. The next round will require quite a bit of work from Roule, so we’ll need to schedule it in. Would you mind if I reach out to Jane directly on these internal matters? 
Roule L.
When we created it it was early days so they wanted it all :) But I think with the site being more complete it makes sense to keep it for those two functions. Just make a note on your side that WW might think differently
Robyn
That's what i was hoping to hear - thanks
Roule Le Roux Roule
 ! 
Roule L.
The idea was that it is a multi use Feature box.  I think it should mainly be used for Articles and Events. Not really courses and Resources.  as those pieces have their own Card-like look. But this is from a design point of view
Anna v.
Great, thanks Robyn - I'm sure Roule will update you as soon as she can. Have a lovely long weekend! 
Robyn
Hey
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 no worries, I just want to make sure we have the details correct -I am also waiting on Mobile feedback yes (for LMS specifically _ not sure if that's what you mean) I will check in next week and grab a quick chat with Roule if needed 
Anna v.
Robyn Robyn
I have asked
Roule Le Roux Roule
 to give you some feedback. I know she's knee-deep trying to meet a deadline today, but she'll get back to you asap. Are you still waiting on feedback for mobile? 
Robyn
Robyn
also, when you click through - I am not sure about the details on that template - the languages and reusable style cards from style sheet - please remind me what the intent is for this https://xd.adobe.com/view/5d8ec556-3c59-4489-8f7c-4d211eec147f-08dd/screen/18ec766c-630b-41cb-9203-f476f415cb13/

quick question for
Roule Le Roux Roule
we wanted to confirm the feature section on the home page - there's some cross component work we have done and Xoli remembers a convo about possibly featuring courses - the feature on the xd file shows a block with news/ event etc. - Is the etc a possible featured course? Screenshot below https://xd.adobe.com/view/5d8ec556-3c59-4489-8f7c-4d211eec147f-08dd/
Anna v.
That's a big relief and eases things up on our side - thanks,
Robyn Robyn
Robyn
Thanks
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 we're not working on this yet so its not an issue at all, + I wont be around end of the month so if Roule wraps up by the 4th of May so we can pick this up on the 5th, I think are in good shape - 
Anna v.
Robyn Robyn
 after the meeting with Ian, Roule could see she needed a little more time on the dashboards. We've scheduled this in for next week. The public holidays are making things difficult, so it may spill into one day the following week, but we're hoping that won't happen. 
Roule L.
Working on a mad deadline right now, but will see you at the Standup
Robyn
Roule Le Roux Roule
 I will chat to Ian and Xoliswa but also feel we don't necessarily need it - we can make a few calls for mobile if needed - will let you know so leave off the list for now _ thank you!
Roule L.
I think we don't need a mobile version for this? or do we? Please let me know before I ask on the open channel
Roule L.
Ian P.
Robyn Robyn
Xoliswa Shandu Xoliswa
I've created a list of open tasks on WW - please have a look.
Xoliswa Shandu Xoliswa
would be great if you can add any tasks you're aware of here, as well. We can then bring them into our sprints. : https://www.notion.so/matogen-digital/Open-tasks-on-WW-1b63bb3d2d2080beae18f6a79c02d803?pvs=4
Robyn
Thanks so much, I will take a look! :)
Roule L.
I answered on XD :) Please let me know if there are more questions
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
Roule Le Roux Roule
 xoliswa has added some questions and feedback to the prototype - we have clearing up to do our our side so that is noted. You might have answers for some of the questions so please check and share feedback if you are able to do so - tks!
Robyn
Thanks for the update
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 !
Anna v.
Robyn Robyn
  - also something to note is that
Roule Le Roux Roule
  will be on leave from 31 March to 4 April. I have already scheduled in time for site testing the week of the 24th, so hopefully we can finish things up then. 
Robyn
Thanks
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 ! 
Anna v.
Thanks! I haven't heard anything from them about the content, I'll follow up with Jane shortly. 
Robyn
ps any more movement on the content?
Robyn
Hey
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 no problem at all - the review of the LMS prototype is happening this week so I will gather feedback and let you know if there's anything to do + will share the notes - thank you! 
Anna v.
Hi
Robyn Robyn
 - just a heads up that Roule won't be able to join Friday's standup. We'll refer to the Fathom meeting notes, but please let us know if there's anything in particular we need to be aware of. 
Anna v.
Noted - thank you! I will add this to our calendars now and adjust if necessary
Anna v.
I assume they're aware of the deadline, so hopefully they will provide feedback with enough time to finalise the copy. Thanks,
Robyn Robyn
 
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 another note for you is to please consider testing for ww from the week of the 24th - you (unfold) will be last in line for the final reverts and eyeballs on the final product before the WW peeps jump in to load the bulk of the content & test.  We have hit a snag or two on our side so I will let you know if any times need to move forward but working incredibly hard to ensure we deliver on time 
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 okay great - we are using the copy for loading and testing so it needs to be wrapped up before they start loading content which is currently set to start on the 31st of March - thank you 
Anna v.
I'm keeping an eye on it - thanks, Robyn 
Anna v.
Re copy, still waiting for them to go through the entire doc, but I am in touch with Jane directly and ready to jump in when I need to. Once it's back in my hands, I'll action changes relatively quickly. 
Robyn
Not sure if you are watching the open channel but there may be more changes incoming 
Robyn
It's so strange and i am sure very confusing 
Anna v.
Thanks
Robyn Robyn
  - Outlook doesn't seem to pick up on changes to meetings, I think we're all having that problem this side. I actually have the correct stand-up times on ASANA, so I'll just delete the Outlook meeting on my side. 
Robyn
How is the content coming along? Wrapped up?
Robyn
Robyn
Hi
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 There's no standup this Friday, its every two weeks and we had one last week.  I can see Ian scheduled time with Jacqui and Roule on Friday to go over the templates they need for coms and how they can help themselves build these out - that session is at 10 am on Friday - the next meet after this is on Tuesday at 10 - events and dashboard where I have included you for visibility with a standup in place next week Friday at 11h30. 
Anna v.
Hi
Robyn Robyn
 - is it only the stand-up on Friday in terms of upcoming meetings? Are there any other meetings coming up? 
Roule L.
took forever to get to a point where we could design something, but we are getting there now
Robyn
No worries at all - Jane looks very happy 😊  well done x
Roule L.
Thanks, I didn't think to check when in the day, but all good :) Thanks Robyn
Robyn
Sure, no probs, Anna said Thursday morning which is where I got the morning from but not a biggie, thanks 
Roule L.
Shared the file with Jacqui a few minutes ago
Roule L.
Roule L.
I only saw your message saying Thursday morning now, I just had Thursday in my head
Roule L.
I am making the link to share now
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
Roule Le Roux Roule
 the updated prototype slipped off my radar this morning - please will you provide an update> Thank you! x
Robyn
Got it, thanks Anna! 
Anna v.
Please keep time for their review in mind. Roule is trying to get things complete before they view as she's concerned they might start making changes before seeing the full picture. 
Robyn
Thanks
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 no probs, please let me know if your process includes Jane and Jacqui or if that's going to be next for Thursday afternoon or thereafter?  Jane mentioned that they have not seen what Roule is doing so I want to make sure I keep time for their review in mind as needed, please let me know when you have a moment, thank you 
Anna v.
Hi
Robyn Robyn
, just an update on our side - Roule needs a few more days to get through this, she will be able to hand it over on Thursday morning. 
Robyn
Thanks,
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
! That sounds perfect, I look forward to hearing from you on Monday. Good luck ladies! 
Anna v.
So hopefully she's made some progress today, Roule is spending all day tomorrow on this too, so we can touch base Monday and let you know where we are? 
Anna v.
From Jacqui: Just to let you know that I've completed the content for the Introduction module of the LD course. I'll finish off Module 1 Part A and B tomorrow hopefully. Matogen hasn't managed to activate the quiz embeds so I'm meeting with Rowen tomorrow to see if she can help me figure it out.
Anna v.
Robyn Robyn
 Roule is still busy designing the course landing page and needs to pull in the elements from Jacqui's uploads. I'm going to pop the message we received from Jacqui yesterday (she was supposed to be done yesterday)...
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
Roule Le Roux Roule
 how things coming along with the LMS side of life? Please let me know how things have progressed since we last spoke? Thank you! 
Roule L.
Thanks for the blocks!
Roule L.
I am catching up a little now
Robyn
Roule Le Roux Roule
I heard from Jacqui and Jane who were waiting on blocks to be pulled through to the LMS - X has made some available - recording here if you need https://vimeo.com/1055500389/95b8d32858?ts=0&share=copy
Ian P.
We should have access to it - we purchased a bundle, not just the standalone licence
Xoliswa S.
Ian Parsons Ian
, we need to purchase the Instructor role, it does have the Frontend Course Creator feature.

The one we need is Instructor role - that gives us the option to enable the Frontend Course Creator

would you check if you can add these addons on the learning site for Wordworks? https://account.learndash.com/subscriptions/
Anna v.
Hello, I'll send today!
Robyn
Hey
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 please let me know when I can expect to receive the cost details for the edit you are doing - thank you 
Anna v.
That works - thanks, Robyn 
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
Roule Le Roux Roule
 the meeting we had planned in standup on the 31st (check in LMS components and what can be reused thereby informing the brief for design) needs to be done on the 3rd or 4th of Feb, I would like to share an invite for the 4th at 9h30 for 1 hour - does that work for you? 
Anna v.
Hi
Robyn Robyn
 I've actually done quite a bit of the copy editing already, but have logged the hours and will hold on the rest for now. We'll chat when you're back. Have a lovely festive season. 
Roule L.
Ian Parsons Ian
  , I am available for a meeting this week to help with the shopping list. We could look at the infographics in more detail. 
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 I am not sure when you are back in the office but my advice is to park the content edit till next year - I cc'd you on my mail to Wordworks so you have the full details of where we are at - I am back on the 6th, will check where we are at at that point and reach out for a quick connect - thank you! 
Robyn
Yes, thanks so much
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
we had a chat with Ronel (correction) on Wednesday so that's the follow on from that 
Anna v.
Thanks
Robyn Robyn
 I hadn't seen any emails but just had a quick look at the one you sent this afternoon - is that what you're referring to? I think we'll be okay. I'll go ahead and block Ronel's time for that so long.
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 thanks so much - no issues on this side at all - you guys are due to start the LMS prototype on the 13th, just need to manage vca incoming as well - not sure if you saw my email so let me know if you need any details for that one and I will drop you a quick mail - hope you are surviving over there - all the best! 
Anna v.
Hi
Robyn Robyn
just a very brief check-in from me - I see you've sent the copy - thank you! I will review it when I am back in SA. I just had a quick chat with
Roule Le Roux Roule
and
Ronel van Heerden Ronel
 and we are thinking of extending our leave and only reopening on the 13th. I just want to make sure that's not going to cause any issues for you. 
Ian P.
Sometimes just too many voices, mine included! Despite that, Roulé, goeie werk. 
Roule L.
I am not so sure about that! New edits every time! Working in little circles
Ian P.
Roulé you have done so well to manage this design process. 
Roule L.
I think I have tabs out of my system now
Roule L.
Ian Parsons Ian
Next year, Tabs with drop shadows 😉 
Ian P.
Xoliswa Shandu Xoliswa
 have you given some thought to how we might embed PDFs on the Wordworks site?

Lara has completed her work and added in the relevant keywords + page titles and meta descriptions - over to you to pick up editing as soon as you can - we understand where you are at - the bulk of the copy is done, its not going to mess up the design and most of your and the WW team goes on leave at the end of this week.  Ian needs to give it a once over I believe as well so when you are done, share it with him - he is going to be working over the festive season (excluding public holidays) I am sure the WW team is going to want to approve the edits as well so we should consider doing that early next year when the are back ( I can ask at that point in time) As long as we have it ready by the time we load content we are good 🥇 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Rk_GIF-sIfowpAJgGlZKdd3qjd12uSSAanCDnKfKttQ/edit?gid=1759673572#gid=1759673572 = keywords etc & the copy doc from Jane and Jacs https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u-XMHgW3RQm-N-tQezt9kUvUHPs10bn3x9xi875JFh4/edit?tab=t.0
Robyn
Will do
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 good luck and take care x
Anna v.
Thank you. No rush now as I'm unable to look at it until I'm back, but please brief when ready so I can ask any questions before everyone goes on leave.
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 morning - I am so sorry to hear about your family and appreciate you letting me know where you are at - I have followed up with Lara and was expecting the work to be done this past week but she has not finished yet - I have asked to confirm when she will be done this morning -  I will let you know what to expect, waiting on feedback 
Anna v.
Hi
Robyn Robyn
, I am currently in the Netherlands to say goodbye to my FIL who is critically ill, I will be here until next week Friday until after the funeral. I was hoping to have received and completed the copy by now, but will be unable to do it while I'm here. I'm not sure when you are expecting to hand it over, but I should be able to get the first draft done whilst on leave for the festive season. Other than that, I will check-in again tonight, so please let me know if you have any questions for me? 
Anna v.
Noted, thanks Robyn 
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 the kick-off / update on Friday will determine more but it seems like the next part of the prototype is not going to be complex so the hope is that it will be finalised next week - I shared notes via email as well so heads up about that. Ian and I have to leave by 10h30 on Friday but I have extended the meeting to 11 for you 
Anna v.
Thank you!
Robyn
if we need to push this into the new year so be it but want to make sure everyone is onboard 
Robyn
Hi
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 thanks so much - I will check with Jane about a kick-off chat on Friday and let you know 
Anna v.
Can we extend Friday's meeting to accommodate this? 
Anna v.
Hi
Robyn Robyn
,
Roule Le Roux Roule
 will work into the next week (the week of the 16th to make up for the delay). With that being said, it's difficult to say whether two weeks will be sufficient, as we're not quite sure how much needs to be done for the Ecommerce site. We need that extra week back I think. We also need a kick-off chat for the ecommerce part, this may give us a better idea of how much time is actually required. 
Robyn
Thanks
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 I understand so let me know what is possible, thanks 
Anna v.
I understand, we're trying to keep you updated as much as possible. Squeezing the e-commerce site into two weeks on top of the delay from WordWorks is going to be tricky. We will start this week, but I need to chat to
Roule Le Roux Roule
  if this is going to be doable in a shorter timeframe. I will get back to you before the standup. 
Robyn
That's fine thanks
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 there's been a lot of unpredictable delays, I just need to understand so I can manage expectations with the client who asked me to confirm next steps for them last week. I have done that but we are not aligned so we need to get that sorted so I can manage their expectations - please get back to me today so I can chat to them in standup tomorrow - they also want to go on leave so I need to know how this next part is going to work on your side - 
Anna v.
Great - thank you. I just had a quick glance but it seems there are quite a few more pages than quoted for. 
Anna v.
Thanks
Robyn Robyn
, I will be able to review the schedule later today.
Roule Le Roux Roule
 has worked through most of the mobile version, but at some point she couldn't move forward with all the changes happening. We were already booked for today and tomorrow so Wed/Thurs is the soonest we can fit it in. 
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 sorry for all the messages - I have shared the copy doc with you & will confirm when Lara (SEO specialist) will be done x
Robyn
Thanks for the invoice
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
Ian will pick it up for payment and let you know if there's anything to know. We'll also close the loop with Jane on costs for the next wave of work - for you and
Roule Le Roux Roule
the schedule that we all have and I shared again in the update but suspect has not been seen and needs to form part of your workflow - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K-Falb_DaR4a8m1ltm7iilhU3oKKx8YXCXaieiELxKs/edit?gid=0#gid=0 = schedule - things like your leave should be considered when looking at this - I have edited the dates to fit in with your leave but would like you to consider what's in the pipeline and let me know if you spot a time when you are not available. With that in mind,
Roule Le Roux Roule
  needs to move onto the next part of the prototype which was running till the 20th of December. You let me know about leave last week so I have updated the schedule which leaves you with this week and next for the next part of the prototype - you let me know this morning that you are only working on mobile later this week so I need you to let me know and please consider how the next phase needs to work as those meetings and next steps need to be scheduled - 
Anna v.
Doing it now!
Roule L.
Anna will sort out the invoice for us :)
Robyn
I got the links - thank you
Roule Le Roux Roule
  - I missed them on the task but spotted it now 



Robyn
No worries,
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
please can we have the desktop link to start reviewing
Roule Le Roux Roule
 - Also, we need your invoice for the last month so we can review the costs including Anna - thank you - Robs
Anna v.
Also, Roule didn't manage to finish the mobile site last week because they were still tinkering on the desktop version. I've scheduled some time for her this week (unfortunately we could only do Wednesday and Thursday) to finalise it. 
Anna v.
I'll send you my time shortly 
Anna v.
Morning
Robyn Robyn
 - just to let you know Roule won't be at the standup tomorrow morning as we have a conflict in our schedule. Please let us know if anything pops up that we need to be aware of. 
Roule L.
I also need to log off soon - Almost ready to share the XD link
Robyn
Good luck with the last bits
Roule Le Roux Roule
 - I am signing off soon but thanks for the hard push in getting this work done ! 
Roule L.
I will have to chek in with her
Robyn
Thanks
Roule Le Roux Roule
  - how much time is allocated to Anna  (rough estimate is fine) 
Roule L.
I also am supporting Jacqui today still, so I have to add todays hours before we turn this one into an invoice.
Roule L.
Here is my November timesheet. This does not include any of Anna's time. 
Roule L.
Roule L.
hehehe
Robyn
Roule L.
I will send the time for the month in the in the next 30 min or so, just checking what dates our last invoice covered . 
Roule L.
We will have a working XD prototype today. I am confident
Robyn
Roule Le Roux Roule
what do you think? Do you have everything you need or is it sill very much WIP?
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
the short answer is I do not know, the timing keeps slipping / not being done when they say its done and going back to things that are signed off.  These okies have never done something like this before so the timing is off for this reason I think - you know you can over-think and redo and rethink and then someone gives you another thought that throws the whole thing off - I will let you know as soon as I know x
Anna v.
Perfect - thanks, Robyn. Do you think that will be today still? I am hoping to get started this weekend, but no problem if that's not doable.
Robyn
Thanks
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 ! Also, I am making sure everything is final before I share copy with you - Lara still needs input too so trying to pull that together and share the final product with you - its going to be a time steal otherwise x
Anna v.
Thanks,
Robyn Robyn
. I've asked
Roule Le Roux Roule
to send this to you as I am out for the morning and don't have access to her timesheet. 
Robyn
Thanks
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 - I will update the Gant chart accordingly. Roule and I had a chat about costs and next steps on the next wave of prototype that is supposed to fit into the current scope of work - we want to go back to Jane with a proposal - please can you provide me with an estimate of the time you used this past month so we can work out how much time we should consider adding - thank you! If you could get this to me this morning that would be amazing 
Anna v.
Morning
Robyn Robyn
- Unfold will be on leave from 16th December - Friday 3rd Jan. Roule and Ronel will be back on Monday the 6th. 
Robyn
so instructions for Jane and Jacs then
Ian P.
I saw this. Annakie and I had a good meeting; we're aligned on what needs to happen, but will schedule a chat once we've made some progress on dev

Yes, but only if you call the meeting a walk through and not a handover :)
Ian P.
Great,
Roule Le Roux Roule
! I've invited you to a 9.30 meeting tomorrow; let me know if that doesn't work
Roule L.
And hand over files on Friday
Roule L.
I am running through the Prototype now fixing consistencies and will link buttons today. So I think we can run through the desktop version with Matogen tomorrow moring?
Robyn
Hey
Roule Le Roux Roule
 please confirm when we have the prototype finalised - assuming you will know first :) I am out of the office tomorrow but back on Thursday. We still need to schedule briefing etc which I thought we'd do once we have all had a chance to look at the final prototype to ensure that there's no glaringly obvious issues - make sure its signed off and then head into briefing. Thanks so much 
Robyn
Thanks so much for the feedback
Roule Le Roux Roule
 ! Much appreciated 
Roule L.
Spend some more time on questions and answers with Jacqui, things are coming together , and Robyn quite a few pages that weren't resolved yet was indeed duplicates. So things are looking better than earlier today
Roule L.
Heads up- I told her that she must let you know
Roule L.
She's going to keep focus on the prototype for now and then supply that one
Roule L.
Jacqui needs some time for that print type infographic
Robyn
Lets connect later and discuss a practical way forward - I am finding the process tricky to manage as well so lets align and take it from there 
Roule L.
This process is rather hard for me, its fluid and then becomes more fluid 
Anna v.
2.10 pm is good. I won't be there, but Roule will give me an update. 
Roule L.
I am grabbing pages and adding them to the mobile, but I thought that the 2 days I wasn't in would help them finish so I can just do it all together
Robyn
I am going to keep the chat for us but note the conversation happening in the open channel
Roule Le Roux Roule
 I'd suggest you pause as it looks like they are not done yet 
Roule L.
Let's start when you are ready?
Ian P.
I can join from 14.10
Roule L.
I am available at 14:00
Robyn
Morning
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
thanks for the update - I can spare 15 minutes this afternoon - I will see if Ian can join, otherwise, I will feedback to him - does 2pm work for you? 
Roule Le Roux Roule
, I think you do need a handover on your side, they probably don't realise that its an issue for them to be adding content while you work on the prototype. They said the prototype will be done.  I suggest we chat and you coordinate a handover for tomorrow once we have spoken?  I can join if you need me there - we can agree once we have connected? 
Roule L.
Maybe we need a handover chat from her to me? 
Roule L.
Roule L.
Looks like the Skills infographic part that she's working on
Roule L.
Jacqui is still adding content in the XD file, I thought they where done by end of last week?
Anna v.
Thanks for the update on Lara - I see you did mention that on your initial comment as well. 
Anna v.
WRT to the e-commerce part of the prototype, that's perfect to move to next week. 
Anna v.
Hi Robyn, Roule will be working on the desktop version today as discussed. There are some things that need to be addressed, do you and Ian have 15 minutes to spare to have a quick look at it with Roule today? She will move ahead with the mobile version from tomorrow, but there are things that need to be resolved before she can finish. 
Robyn
The doc that Lara is working (not finalised yet ) but shows where she has questions and is ultimately the document you will get to use https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Rk_GIF-sIfowpAJgGlZKdd3qjd12uSSAanCDnKfKttQ/edit?gid=1759673572#gid=1759673572
Robyn
No probs at all, Lara is working on the SEO goodies, she needs a bit more input so Jane has added content to the prototype and wants to share the information that way.  Once she has that, she can continue with her research - I think you will only get what you need by the first week in December 
Anna v.
Thank you. xx I should be caught up and back at it next week. Could you let me know if there's anything else you're waiting on from me so I can address it on Monday? Is Lara still working on the SEO recommendations? 
Robyn
Ahhh, no, please don't apologise, that is awful to hear - my heart goes out to you! 
Anna v.
Hi
Robyn Robyn
 sorry I have been so quiet - my father passed away last week and I am a little behind. I will respond to your message in full on Monday, but yes, Roule will check everything on Monday and start the mobile version thereafter.  
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 hope you are well - quick check in here and notes for next week for Roule - the WW team are basically done with the XD file - next steps is for Roule to check it and provide feedback - I need to know if this can happen on Monday or what our timeline is?  Once happy, the link should be published and shared with the core group to review and give feedback. * sanity check on things vs changing the brief. Once that's done and implemented, Roule moves onto the mobile view. We are also due to start the e-commerce part of the prototype, from next week - I am going to move that to the first week in December unless you say otherwise. Jane was asking about timelines for next steps and December - she confirmed that their office closes on the 16th and that the would be back in the office on the 6th of January - we had always planned to be closed for a week or two in December so this is not an issue on our side - I wanted to check when you are going on leave and if the above makes sense? Jane intends on using the prototype to give Lara the additional context she needs so as soon as that guy is ready, I can share it with Lara to wrap up her research. Hopefully we can get the prototype soon so she can get on with it but I imagine the earliest you can start is the first week in December too - Many moving parts! 
Robyn
Robyn
Sounds like a good plan! 
Roule L.
I want her to keep control of the prototype file and the decisions 
Roule L.
Thanks Robyn, I am going to make some minor changes to the sign up form and share that with Jacqui so she can share with the team
Robyn
Roule Le Roux Roule
 thanks so much for joining the chat - if you want to connect / chat through anything , please let me know - thank you! 
Ian P. Dankie, julle is awesome
Robyn
Lets try and do that yes, thanks so much Roule! 
Roule L.
Thanks Robyn so we just ask questions tomorrow in Standup and see where that leads?
Robyn
stupid stuff like responding to a client has to happen within 24 hours or you cannot respond if its come off a template 
Robyn
it has specific requirements, images, word count and its own set of rules 
Robyn
you cannot send emails to a what's app 
Robyn
Exactly why this is a big thing, the whole com part needs to be fleshed out seperately 
Roule L.
The form might make it look like there is no difference between the two options but there is. Of will email content be delivered via SMS that includes links
Roule L.
It might be that someone actually has an email but fills in phone number instead, that's a loss for the rest of the comms to follow.
Robyn
Jane wasn't keen to get that going - I suggested we try and get people to sign up but she is worried its not inclusive 
Roule L.
Shouldn't be either or
Robyn
the login part is good to know we can go that way around 
Roule L.
We might need to push for emails , and sign up with phone as last resort only
Robyn
yes, that's another challenge all on its own 
Ian P.
Just to add my notes here: signing in with FB  or Google would answer one portion of this, but the challenge afterwards is how to manage communications from LMS, WooCommerce and SalesForce.
Roule L.
I also don't know whats possible 
Robyn
happy to chat Ian, but won't be able to have a conversation about solutions, we can however ask more questions 
Ian P.
Robyn Robyn
Roule Le Roux Roule
 maybe it would still be useful to have the standup tomorrow, for this issue specifically? 
Robyn
The meeting with Ian on a Tuesday has been cancelled for the next two weeks - Ian is in the UK from tomorrow 
Robyn
Thanks
Roule Le Roux Roule
 ! Facebook does have the option to sign in with a phone number only - I am just wondering if the person who does not have an email address has a facebook account.
Roule L.
Maybe we can all chat in Standup tomorrow
Roule L.
All smart phone users actually have gmail accounts rigth?  - And you cant use the site on a feature phone
Roule L.
So normally I wouldn't add Phone number fields, but added it for the possibility of login in with phone number. But when chatting to Ian he mentioned that Facebook login could be the best for individuals who do not know their email addresses, or do not use them
Roule L.
Robyn
Shame don't worry, we'll figure it out 
Roule L.
I don't want to jump into the open chat now, I am to scared I will say the wrong thing
Roule L.
I did mention to Ian that users might not have email adresses and he was going to find outh
Roule L.
Will give you a screenshot on that part
Robyn
Thanks
Roule Le Roux Roule
 no worries, whatever you think is best - I wanted to see what we have on the login details 
Roule L.
Should I share a copy of the open file?
Roule L.
All artboards aren't linked to each other so I think a link will feel messy
Robyn
Thank you - please will you share the prototype link with me ( I know its not final yet )
Roule Le Roux Roule
 
Roule L.
It is not, this is just a working file between me and Jacqui
Robyn
Roule Le Roux Roule
 thanks for sharing the above CI details, do you know if its signed off yet? 
Roule L.
Roule L.
Here is a stylesheet (it is not signed off, but it might be helpful)
Robyn
re Whatsapp... do the comms need to simply enable us to send communications to users/partners? I know SF has some sms integrations we could consider?
Robyn
I know. We need to tackle this. A very large proportion of our users simply do not have an email address ... something we proved in Gauteng with Grade R teachers who all needed to be given an address for our project there.
Robyn
We also haven't included the curved ball of Whatsapp into costings
Robyn
Noting some of the costs in partnership meeting: Mailchimp up to 15,000 standard licence - R2508 p/month incl 15% npc discount (compared to R1620 for Mailblaze)

THEN to link SF to Mailchimp:

Cazoomi - R1951.09 p/month for professional (incl 25% npc discount) BUT if not concerned about opt-out sync between sf and mailchimp can eliminate? 

OR R960 if joining Connect Solutions existing licence

OR Beaufort12 (campaign monitor) 25 (10k) - 40 dollars (15k) or 15 - 30 dollars (with 10% npc discount) - R261 - R523
Roule L.
noted , thanks
Robyn
Roule Le Roux Roule
 quick heads up that we had a chat today with Jacs and Jane re Resources and how that can work on the site. There's some extremely large PDF's that will need to stay super large so the solution is to make it clear for people that downloading those will chow up their data and they should wait for a wifi zone if they are sensitive to this - this needs to fit in with the low bandwith toggle somehow - Ian asked me to give you a heads up so I am doing that now but please let me know / chat to Jacs if you have any questions. We have a plan for hosting these large files (which will happen with Cloudflare vs on the site) but we need to make it clear for peeps that they will be data heavy to download 
Anna v.
Perfect - thank you!
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
here we go Pull together page titles for SEO brief (use prototype as reference) - Wordworks  for Wordworks Jacs said she will get the list done by tomorrow after which I can brief our person - Lara. I imagine we'd be able to start next week but will let you know 
Robyn
No worries, thanks
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 
Anna v.
Thanks, Robyn! They didn't mention that but I appreciate the update. I am developing a brand voice for them based on their old website and will get them a sample of editing today, but otherwise I'll wait for the SEO phase to be complete. 
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 had a good one, thanks - Hope you had a good weekend, too! We need page titles so the last standup on Friday, the one just before your meeting, we discussed that we need the page titles to get the keywords out. I have given the task to Jacqui and Jane with deadline of Wednesday but not sure if that's going to materialise after which our contact can only start her work. I don't have a timeline because of all of the moving parts needed. Additionally, Jane has requested to speak to our specialist so that meeting is happening at 16h30 today - hopefully the page titles will be done in time for that discussion but I am not sure - I am joining the convo later so will keep you posted 
Anna v.
Morning
Robyn Robyn
 - hope you had a lovely weekend. The copy is going to slowly trickle in, but I can't start editing until I have all the keywords. Do you know when we will have these? 
Robyn
Roule Le Roux Roule
heads up about the time suggestions for the partnership workflow convos Open Channel - Wordworks  for Wordworks I have not been able to speak to Ian yet about a pre-meeting and the dates coming through here are not going to allow for that so will chat about it tomorrow - looks like a 1.5 hour meeting is going to be needed here 
Roule L.
Ian, please reshare the link ?
Roule L.
Yes please 2:30 is good
Ian P.
Jip, ons kan chat! Robyn is offline today, but the two of us can chat. Will 2.30 work? 
Roule L.
Ian Parsons Ian
and
Robyn Robyn
are you available for a chat about the Partner workflow today, the Wordworks team is realising that this is bigger than they thought  and that they might need to allocate more hours to it. It is probably best that we chat before tomorrow's site handover
Robyn
Thanks,
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 !
Anna v.
Thanks,
Robyn Robyn
 - we'll see what Jacqui says. The CI and logos were handed over to Jacqui, we created and she's refining everything so Unfold's part in that is complete as far as we know. I saw Jane's comment now - thank you! I can be at the standup. 
Robyn
hi
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 I am happy to move the handover chat to Friday if that works for you - then Jacqui can go to her team building if she wants :)  we are meeting at 11h30 anyhow, so could tag onto that chat? before or after - 
Robyn
Hi
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
, no worries, thank you for the update - I was going to ask how the next step is going to work but please invite me to the meeting on Thursday - the 11h30 timing works for me (I can do later as well) It sounds like everything is on track and noted that the delivery of the prototype might not be final. Please also let me know if we have finalised the new logos and CI? I am not sure if you saw Jane's comment about the content quote being approved - she wants to chat about it tomorrow in our standup at 10 - please join if you can? Jane wants to talk about the process so would be good to have you there - thanks so much 
Anna v.
Hi
Robyn Robyn
, Roule is starting work on the partner flow today as she couldn't start sooner. I think she'll be fine to still deliver on Wednesday as planned, but it may be in a draft 1 state. Just flagging in case she'll have to go back to it beyond the 30th. 
Ian P.
Ian P.
Yup - invite sent :) 
Roule L.
Ian Parsons Ian
 are you available for a partners chat tomorrow morning around 10?
Roule L.
Thanks Robyn. For now, we're okay, but I think we need to do a process plan when I hand over the Prototype next week. We need to make a plan on how feedback rounds will happen
Robyn
Roule Le Roux Roule
 I had to leave the meeting this morning but wanted to check if you wanted to connect about anything - you mentioned that the prototype process is moving forward a bit different to what you had envisioned so do let me know if there's anything you want to discuss / give feedback on 
Anna v.
Perfect - thank you
Robyn Robyn
Robyn
Robyn
I will tag you on the task but this is what I am sharing now - I added a range which is an additional 5 hours of work in case we need (which will hopefully cover any extra if needed) but the note about adding to the cost if needed is there as well so we should be more than covered - thanks
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 
Robyn
Robyn
I see I missed that note on your quote so will definitely add! Thanks
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 
Anna v.
All good, thank you Robyn. If additional pages need to be done that are more text heavy than the ones displayed in the sitemap, I will have to quote separately. Just in case you want to add that. 
Robyn
Robyn
Thanks
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 If I incorporate your quote with ours it looks like this - please let me know if you are happy and I will get it into a document to share with the client 
Anna v.
Robyn Robyn
 
Anna v.
Anna v.
Up to you, Robyn. I am putting my quote together now and will send shortly. 
Robyn
I am happy to keep the two separate if that makes sense 
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 I have received the quote for SEO  keywords - I am not sure if we want to present the SEO part and your quote together so please let me know what you have in mind ? 
Robyn
Great! thanks Anna
Anna v.
Thanks for confirming, Robyn. I get to the same unless I missed something. I'll work out a quote based on the sitemap and get it to you early next week. 
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
Roule has the detail but to close the loop with you, the Wordworks team are going to write the bulk of the content so your job will be editing and adding the SEO component. We are getting a quote on that (still work in progress) As a matter of interest, how many pages have you identified off the site map - I need to provide the number of landing pages to get a quote for SEO and wondering where your number landed (I ended up with about 20 landing pages physically counting what is on the site map) which would exclude individual resource pages, etc 
Anna v.
Thank you
Robyn
Thanks,
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 I am not sure so I will need to check and get back to you. 
Anna v.
Thanks Robyn, I'd like to send a CE, I just need to double-check one last thing. Will Wordworks provide copy that has to be rewritten for SEO and user experience, friendly plain language? 
Robyn
She always does a quote first but I will double check - thanks
Ian Parsons Ian
 
Ian P.
Robyn Robyn
 just a quick sense check: is Lara sending us a cost estimate for the Wordworks keyword review before she gets started? We'll need to get signoff on total costs for SEO + copywriting
Robyn
Hi
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
  - I don't know how much but you can look at the site map and gauge how much is going to be needed based on that - this is the signed off site map that does not account for partner & user flows  https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVLaKQ_S0=/ 
Anna v.
Thanks, Robyn! Do you know approximately how much content there is to produce? 
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 thanks - content is supposed to be ready by the time dev starts. (currently ear-marked for the end of November) We have reached out to our SEO specialist to let us know key works and recommendations in the meantime. Usually content is based on the prototype but our site map is so detailed that we said it can be based on what's going on there to get the ball rolling.  Let me know if you need more information, thank you! 
Anna v.
Robyn Robyn
 Roule mentioned that WW is looking for a copywriter. Could you let me know when this phase of the project will start and what the deadline is? 
Ian P.
Getting there

Thanks for the update
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 I had a good weekend, thank you, hope you did too!  This all sounds good, thank you very much. I know Ian is working on the partnership workflows today / tomorrow so we'll share those with Roule asap - thank you!
Anna v.
Morning Robyn! Trust you had a lovely weekend. Roule and I had  chat this morning and she confirmed that she can fit the partnership and user flow in our current timeline. We're meeting with Jacqui next week Monday as I'm sure you've seen, we'll be going through what Roule has done so far so if there are any changes Jacqui would like to make now, it can be done before the CI is implemented. Roule has been fully focused on the desktop version due to the volume of resources involved. We think it’s best to ensure they’re happy with the desktop version first, avoiding the need for double changes. We'll deliver the desktop version by the 30th for review and adjustments as planned. Once it’s approved, we’ll move on to the mobile version, which should be completed quickly.
Robyn

Roule Le Roux Roule
 ! I have the LMS down to start next year - I assume that the partnership and user dashboards may be needed sooner than that. I will chat to Ian tomorrow but do let me know if the timelines are what you have on your side too? If you have something else in mind for the timing, please let me know and I will set up a quick chat for us to align next week 
Roule L.
We are waiting on
Ian Parsons Ian
's outline to be able to do the partner flow. We might need to clump it with the LMS work, but we have some flexibility
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 Hope you are well! Ian gave me a quick update on the partnership and user flows this morning. My question for you, Unfold, is, do you have everything you need to continue with this part of the site map? We'd probably need to get sign off on the next steps for that so please let me know, when you do, how that is going to come together. I assume it fits in with the allocated time you have now but do let me know if this is happening separately and if there's anything you are waiting on - thank you ! 
Anna v.
You too!
Robyn
I have been trying to figure it out but honestly stumped 😀 Hope you have a lovely day! 
Anna v.
Ah, must be because we use Outlook. Thanks, Robyn. 
Robyn
The client was able to get in so I am not sure why we have had issues with Unfold getting in - its not happening to anyone else but thanks for the tip. 
Anna v.
You can create open meetings so you don't have to let everyone in if you're using Google to set these up. I'll arrange with Jacqui but just FYI. 
Robyn
Even more reason to chat to her directly - I am a roadblock in the middle of this - I am happy to support but think its best these types of things get scheduled directly - lean on me where you need but feel free to get what you need for design directly from the client 
Anna v.
Robyn, it depends on Jacqui's progress with the CI, but yes I agree, we can arrange these directly with Jacqui.
Robyn
I agree
Ian Parsons Ian
 it feels a bit unnecessary to have me in the middle of these especially since I have to join the meeting to let everyone in 
Ian P.
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
Robyn Robyn
 - I'm wondering if it's not more practical just to arrange these design meetings directly with Jacqui? I know Robyn is project managing, but it feels like we're being a bit inefficient by working like this. Thoughts? 
Robyn
Thanks
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 we have a standup next week Friday, would you like to arrange this meeting straight after that ? at say 12? 
Anna v.
Sorry Robyn, that should have said Jacqui. I've chatted with Roule and we still want to do creative sessions with Jacqui, but we can do so after she's worked on the CI. So we can touch base towards the end of next week and arrange a meeting with her. 
Robyn
hi
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 please clarify what you need here - I don't have anything else scheduled so if you need something please let me know - the meeting requests from way back when have morphed significantly so please let me know what you need 
Anna v.
Thanks, Robyn. Then I have everything scheduled so far. Just a reminder about the creative sessions with Jane, we initially said 2/3 a week if she can manage that on her side. 
Robyn
Morning
Roule Le Roux Roule
&
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 Tuesdays standups are specifically for the WW team to ask Ian questions so I recon you ladies can dip out of that - There's a partnership and user flow convo on Wednesday at 2pm and then a regular standup every two weeks on Friday (from next week - 18th That's the only meetings that I am aware of that include you so I think we are good to go! 
Roule L.
I am not joining this mornings stand up, will be at tomorrow’s meeting 
Anna v.
Hi Robyn, just want to make sure I'm keeping track with all these meetings. As it stands we only have the weekly stand-ups on Tuesdays at 10 and the bi-weekly stand-ups with the rest of the team on Fridays at 11.30. There's also the Partnership workflow and User Dashboards - 2pm - 3pm meeting tomorrow. Is there anything I'm missing?
Roule L.

Simple changes can make a big difference I think
Roule L.
It did, its basically outside the brief to tinker on their logo, but I think it is worth it.

That makes sense - thanks!
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 I have made a note to ask the client for a new slot at the end of the CI chat on Monday - that way we can look at calendars and pick something while we are in the room together to avoid me spending another hour trying to find a new slot 
Robyn
Thanks, Anna - I will chat to the client next week and see if we can come up with a different slot - thanks 
Anna v.
Thanks, Robyn. The other alternative is that we are filled in, or a separate meeting is arranged where our input is required. 
Robyn
Morning Anna - we'll need to discuss it with the client - I picked the time based on their requirements and trying to make it work for everyone  - Ian has commitments on Thursdays between 12 and 4, they opted for Thursday afternoons as mornings are a challenge 
Anna v.
Hi Robyn, after yesterday's meeting we realised that 4pm is not a good time for any of us. Both Ronel and Roule have commitments in the late afternoon and though it's optional, there's a chance we're not going to make any of the stand-ups. Is an alterative time? Mornings are always safest for us. 
Robyn
no worries! thanks ladies 
Ronel v.
Robyn Robyn
 seems Roulé and I are unfortunately not going to make today's meeting. We will see everyone on Monday then
Ronel v.
Thanks Robyn! I will ask
Roule Le Roux Roule
 is she is sitting in today
Robyn
Ronel van Heerden Ronel
 in light of the fact that Jacqui is back at work  - if there's anything you want to tell her know before Monday, you can but otherwise these standups are optional - I would however encourage one of you to join while the design part of the work is happening - seeing as we are not sure if the client has questions for you at this point in time. This week is fine because we are chatting about tools but I suspect that your participation is going to be needed from week after next - hope that helps! Robs 
Ronel v.
Hi
Robyn Robyn
 juuust to make sure we don't miss anything. Today's meeting at 4 is a provisional stand-up meeting. If we don't have anything to discuss then we don't have to have this meeting?
Anna v.
Thank you!
Robyn
Thanks,
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 I have requested the time & will let you know if there's any issue with the time - thank you 
Anna v.
Hi Robyn, Roule and Ronel would like to have a chat with Jane and Jacqui immediately after our meeting Jacqui on Monday. Just 30 minutes and we're hoping that you can be present as well. It's about the CI (or lack thereof) and how this blurs the line between our role and Jacqui's. We'd also like to discuss the logo, refining the colour palette and some other minor details. Could you see if this is a possibility, please? If the time doesn't work for you, please let me know.
Robyn
perfect, thanks Anna
Anna v.
Thanks, Robyn. I will be in another meeting at that time, but Roule and Ronel will fill me in. 
Anna v.
Yes!
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
please can I ask that you / Ronel or Roule confirm that the correct board for the site map is this one? https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVKjZLKQc=/ I would like to review the information to make sure that all the other sites have been considered so want the most up to date board - 
Robyn
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 I have tagged all of you on a possible meeting tomorrow morning - I am not sure what's possible at this point and what needs to be parked / how it affects the overall timeline so need clarity and think we should all be in the room together to get this wrapped up. I am also noting the partnership section so would like to understand those moving parts - we assumed that these conversations had been handled already so some alignment is needed 
Robyn
no worries, lets see what happens
Anna v.
Re the CI, we can move ahead without it for now but will need it fairly soon to make progress. We're hoping she will send whilst on leave. 
Anna v.
Hi Robyn, we've placed a few pages on the Miro board to try figure out the partners, but we know that you have a clearer idea of how the partners fit in. We haven't had a discussion with the client about it. We're happy to have a discussion about it at some point, but we feel this is primarily a Ian and Rowen discussion for now. We can map out the user-flow better if we know the different partners and how they intend using the site.

 I did not hear back on the CI part and believe Jacqui is on leave but have asked again. 
Anna v.
Hi Robyn, we've gone ahead and scheduled the prototype on our side. Hopefully Jacqui will send the CI soon. 
Robyn
Thanks so much for the update
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 I will get onto getting things in writing and finding out next steps for the CI - thanks! 
Anna v.
There was no time to go through the CI, so Jacqui is putting something together for us. We were hoping to create the look and feel on Monday, so it would be great to have an idea of when we will receive that (hopefully today). 
Anna v.
There was talk of signing off. They mentioned the big thinking is correct for the main page as are the resources. They understand that as the prototype gets built, small things might move around or a button might be added etc. They are also aware that they can’t make drastic changes to the sitemap anymore. This is all verbal, Robyn, but could you ask them to confirm that we can move on so we have it in writing? 
Anna v.
Morning Robyn! I am waiting to hear back from Ronel and Roule. I will pop you an update shortly. 
Robyn
Morning

hope you are doing well today - happy Friday - how did the site map meeting go? Did you manage to get sign off? Please will you give me an update today so I know whether I can move forward with loading all the due dates and milestones or if we need to hold off and agree on a new date + update all the timelines? Thanks so much! * I have tagged all of you but only one of you needs to respond so if you have the info
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
 please share :) Thanks so much. Robs

I see the migration test in the stuff for next year 
Robyn
Robyn
I understand the first question I had is about the small sites, I am referring to this comment made by Jane, sharing quickly and then yes, lets have a quick chat 
Ian P.
We can do a quick call now if it would help
Ian P.
They are two separate components. We need to do migration support for all the small sites if they are going to live on the main site and resource hub. If they will only be incorporated into the LMS, then we don't need to look at them now. 
Robyn
Am I right in saying that LMS is only happening next year and therefore this plan to migrate things now is not in line with the plan?  If they want to upload courses, they can do so manually? I don't have a good handle on the LMS part as I was not in these meetings so please advise
Ian Parsons Ian
  - happy to chat on Monday if that's easier 
Robyn
Robyn
Okay great, thanks Ian 
Ian P.
Migration support is for all the small sites they have all over the place, which should all find a home on the new site
Ian P.
Robyn Robyn
 we agreed that we would import their only LMS course from Moodle into LearnDash as part of our dev process. This is separate from the migration support line item
Robyn
Ian Parsons Ian
this comment from Jane feels like the above migration that I am unsure about - I imagine courses need to be rebuilt vs migrated so I think we need to clarify what migration first thing on Monday - 
Ian Parsons Ian
on tools, Rowen was wondering if we should go ahead to get Learndash sorted - particularly if we are wanting Jacqui's team to start playing with it.  Was also wondering if it would be possible to do the migration test of existing courses still this year so that the team can plan for the amount of upload time that is going to be needed for existing courses in 2025.
Robyn
Cool, we can chat about this next week as I am unsure what to ask for - I dont know what is included here so need guidance 
Ian P.
No - I just used that as an example. If an existing site will sit under the main website, we'll need its content at the start of main website dev, but if it will sit under LMS, we only need it when we start that portion of the dev
Robyn
Cool so all the sites they have, that may require migration are LMS related, thanks for confirming
Ian P.
We'll need relevant content by the start of each dev phase. So if a site will become part of the LMS, we'll need the content when we start the LMS dev
Robyn
Cool by when do you need it then or should I worry about this later? 
Ian P.
If it's not part of the main site, we don't need it at the start of dev
Robyn
Thanks, I will mention that we should make sure that all content that currently exists on the various sites is catered for / is redirected to the new place. Does that work and by when would we like this information to be ready? start of dev or later 
Ian P.
So, when we switch on the new site, we don't leave a lot of people asking "where is that thing now"?
Ian P.
I think I only added 4 or 8 hours for migration support, so it's really just to help them think through what they need, and where they will fit all of the content from their different sites
Robyn
for the migration - What are we migrating across that is for the resource hub and main website? I am not sure if all those spreadsheets are for the CRM or the site so please confirm what we need here 
Ian P.
SEO Optimization
Flexible Content Template
Cross-site Component Display
Content Migration Support
Uploading sample content
User Account Registration
Global Navigation
Robyn
Thanks
Ian Parsons Ian
 
Ian P.
These components should fit under main website and resource hub development: 
Robyn
Please also confirm that you are happy for sample content to be shifted to when we start dev - I need to ask the team to give us sample content sooner otherwise.  
Robyn
Robyn
hi
Ian Parsons Ian
, how do you see content migration support fitting into set up? Please clarify what the WW team need to get ready to deliver this by the 11th of October 
Robyn
Thanks, Ian

Thanks

Google Meet joining info
Video call link: https://meet.google.com/ybb-qrji-tzm
Ian P.
Yes, let's do it
Ronel v.
10am good for you?
Ian P.
Ronel van Heerden Ronel
 yes, I have a gap before 11am
Ronel v.
Robyn Robyn
Ian Parsons Ian
 Do you guys maybe have 15 min today yo quickly talk about partners page befor ewe go into a meeting tomorrow?
Robyn
cool
Ian Parsons Ian
 either way, I need the time to do this - I am happy to do it broader however, I needs to be real whatever the approach is 
Ian P.
Robyn Robyn
I think we need a broader approach at this stage, e.g:
- Phase 1 - 20 weeks
- CRM Phase - 12 weeks
- Phase 2 - 12 weeks
- Phase 3 - 12 weeks

Within each phase we can then specify milestones within each phase on Basecamp, where it will be easier to update and manage expectations
Robyn
Robyn
Ian Parsons Ian
 I have started the timelines doc framework but I am going to need the estimate completed to do my part - its impossible to work out a timeline without an indication of the timing we think we need and I don't feel confident guessing at this point. I also need to try and figure out milestones so need the details to try and wrangle this - I will continue doing what I can but I need this part from you - I am hoping to make milestones big milestones to simplify things but the actual timing is kinda vital so I don't overcommit us or put something that makes no sense forward that I will struggle to answer when we meet 
Robyn
dankie!
Ian P.
I think we can build out the resource hub site map and scoping while we wait for Jane's feedback. Once we're ready with it, we can get her input and make sure we're aligned
Robyn
Ian Parsons Ian
 do you think we need to speak to Jacqui sooner rather than later about her needs for the resource hub - we can ask Jane to confirm the process on your board but wondering if we need more than that? I am guessing we can pick this up later but please let me know what you think 
Robyn
no probs, thanks Ian 
Ian P.
Robyn Robyn
 I agree. I'm trying to say that I added Multilingual functionality to the mind map to close this gap. I feel the website should be available in multiple languages. 
Robyn
Please read this comment from Jane
Ian Parsons Ian
- I do think we need to confirm what they are expecting because this speaks about translations on the website which might just be terminology Translation issues - WordWorks Discovery Phase for WordWorks
Ian P.
Thanks
Robyn Robyn
. Course content is in different languages, yes, but the site is English only at this stage. 
Robyn

Ian Parsons Ian
 its looking great , I am checking the presentations to make sure we have it all but it looks pretty thorough. I did notice this on the LMS presentation so I think we need to clarify languages tomorrow 
Ian P.
I think at a base level, they would like to support English, Xhosa, Afrikaans. They have some of their learning materials available in these languages (and some others), but it's a daunting prospect to roll that out across the whole platform. I've added it in, but it may take some time to get there
Ronel v.
Multilingual: What languages are they looking at?
Ronel v.
omg wow Ian 😅 Next level ! Baie dankie

I put an agenda together for our chat at 1, working through all the information including the survey - Mel team have a lot of manual process and I know that Kath (who is leaving) put a handover doc together which is full of rich information and shows the manual stuff - its definitely worth a check MEL Systems & Reach Kath handover notes_June 2024 .pdf - WordWorks Discovery Phase for WordWorks
Ian P.
Hi Robs, yes, go for it. 
Robyn
Ian Parsons Ian
 I see Jane is already on the above workshop document so let me know if I need to backfill with any commentary on timing or if you are comfortable letting this evolve naturally? 
Robyn
Ian Parsons Ian
 👆🏻
Robyn
I have Elaine asking me to give people access to documents - not sure what documents they are referring to but assume you received the requests? 
Robyn
Ian Parsons Ian
 couple of things to mention, the meetings we have on the list encompass 73 hours of work - that excludes any prep we need to do for these meetings - we guestimated 40 hours. This has mushroomed due to a lack of understanding on our side - how large is the company and what do they want us to do to ensure everyone is heard. Perhaps the google forms will bring in most of what we need but the workshops seems to be discussing technology that was given to us vs us making the choice on technology which feels like its not a scope conversation ? I think we need to make our intent clear so we don't spend the whole session discussing choices that have already been made and end up with little understanding of what the team actually want?  Do you think its possible to do both in the time we have allocated?  Then,  I understand I am not always the most useful in conversations so I cannot be in all the meetings but I struggle with not being somewhere but then needing to be the one holding us to what we promise - I think back to Sensana and not being at the first meeting so unaware of the conversations to make sure we actually deliver what we said we would - I feel like this regularly when I am not in a meeting so if I am not there, the notes and conversations will need to be rock solid for me to try and get a handle on the way forward / being accountable. I have noticed that things are changing from one day to the next - little things that I might have missed but I think meeting notes and documenting decisions is going to be vital for us going forward.

Ian P.
It might not have made a difference with that cat :) 
Robyn
Imagine we had this back in the Britta days lol - no spreadsheets 
Ian P.
I like that we can select specific items, task lists etc to share with the client. 
Robyn
Thanks Iantjies, definitely a seperate call to get our ducks in a row - we can check what the team want but suspect we'll need consistent reporting 
Ian P.
Great stuff, thanks Robyn. I'd say let's schedule a separate call with Unfold to figure out the details. 
- They won't need full accounts on Basecamp; they will have access to everything they need if we invite them as guests
- Not sure about Clockify. They might prefer billing their flat fee, but if the client wants to see their costs in the same way as ours, they would need to get on Clockify. 
Robyn
I am not sure about the clockify user costs but would also like to onboard them with this so we are all working in the same way from the same billing account seeing as we are going to handle that part of it all 
Robyn
ps once we chat tomorrow, it would be nice to onboard the Unfold ladies - are we going to invite them to basecamp?  I know we can invite guests for free but not sure that will give them enough access - if we were to invite them as users its USD15 per person - what do you think?
Robyn
nice to see the internal and external goodies for this project
Ian Parsons Ian
 I have set up a provisional budget based on our quote (planning and scoping 78k ) for this in Clockify so we can start tracking from tomorrow + adjust the cost as needed once we know
