Description

Quick update about jobs to be done study from Gaby

A

Hello, everybody and welcome to our regularly scheduled monthly sig usability meeting. I keep meaning to update the meeting, invite to say monthly instead of tri-weekly I'll get to that one day. um So today, gabby is going to give us an update on our usability study and then, if anyone else has anything they'd like to talk about, we can discuss it as well.

B

Cool uh thanks, sasha, so um update from last month. uh We last month was a little bit slow. We had sent out some emails just to kind of like do recruiting, um and this was the first time that we didn't get any um back and I had a product launch this month. So I didn't have a chance to like send out like a second round of emails, which is usually my go-to um at the at our study meeting.

B

We talked about opening up a an extra time slot so that we can start reaching out to our european um people that had uh indicated. You know I'm interested in contributing to the studies.

B

So I think that that would be good just to be able to um start, including those people on the list, um and I think, just in general, one of our to do's um that we want to do is just go back and start pulling some of our transcripts into tetra insights, which is the tool that I think we're going to go ahead and use uh for doing the analysis phase um so yeah.

B

So I think that that's kind of like the the big update again, apologies for because I I know that y'all uh like signed up on the um interview schedule to kind of like shadow and take notes- and this was just a slow month- so um so yeah so hopefully next month will be uh at least the the two or the three that we were kind of like aiming for.

C

Do you mean march this month? Yes, actually, yesterday.

A

I'm very temporarily displaced right now, I'm like it's march what it can't be, um but yeah this week uh in the industry, I noticed gabby, you had the big launch at ibm and then uh microsoft ignite is today and tomorrow and then, like vmware, has worldwide sales kickoff today and then salesforce had this trailblazing conference, and I was just like.

B

Yeah, it's exciting, it's good to know that it's not just us! It's like everybody's kicking off the year.

A

Yeah q1 go q1, deliverables uh cool, so um is there any way that people can help you schedule stuff.

B

A

B

I think well I mean, if anybody's willing uh to do so. um I can pretty much just kind of like show you, the template, um like the email template and it's pretty much just that and then just kind of the spreadsheet as well, and I've been tracking in the spreadsheet, just kind of like who I reached out to and when, and so um if any of y'all are interested, I can definitely. um I can definitely do that.

A

Okay, yeah I'd be happy to do that. um I feel like one of my main value adds to communities. Is my meeting scheduling capability always like, especially as a product manager? You're just like uh the one thing I add to this is I'll get everyone in the room at the same time so um yeah. I would be so happy to take you up on that: okay, cool. Let's do it after we stop recording. uh You can just show me this stuff um cool josie. Did you have anything you wanted to talk about today? Yeah.

C

No uh just gabby, if you need any support, let me know uh happy to help you with scheduling um yeah, that's about it.

A

Cool yeah uh and then yeah stephen arch, uh welcome to I don't. I think this is both of your first meetings, um but basically, what we've really been focusing on is this usability study um that gabby's been driving and josie's been doing a lot of work on, and I think carl's been helping with the data analysis.

A

um So for that we're making pretty good progress, and our big goal is that at kubecon, which is towards the end of may we'll have a good set of data that we can present to the community and then continue to drive, uh drive more more studies through kubecon north america, which will be later this year- cool okay! Well, if anyone has anything else to talk about, we can talk about it. Otherwise we can pause the recording and yeah that's pretty much it for today, cool thanks. Everybody.
