Milestone 1 Due date:
🗓 1-3 days from when the teams are launched.
If everyone has not touched base and said hello to each other within 3 days, please reach out to your team-mate’s in a DM to help them out (it can be pretty chaotic at first for new people).
Make a ticket if the team doesn’t get going right away [tickets found in #chingu-voyage-news]
What should I do?
- Bring the 🔥 🔥 in the form of Enthusiasm and emojiis.
- Feel free to copy and paste this: “Hey team I’m super excited to be here and build this project with you all!!!”
- Read your team-mate’s introductions in the #intros channel. If you can’t find it, ask them if they’ve made on yet.
- I recommend reaching out to your team-mate’s in Direct Message (DM) to establish a connection and begin to build your developer network.
- You’re all here for a reason and some of you have spent months to get in — now is your chance to give your team the best opportunity for success by generating momentum at the start.
What does success look like?
Success is meeting your team-mate’s and beginning to build momentum for the project.
Do no underestimate the important of momentum in team projects.
