Reading notes and making plans. Reread an email from Alan dealing with hours, teams, and roles. Printed out a small document dealing with a small overview of the book - The 6 Types of Working Genius. I got the little packet from Aaron Hill (his results from an assessment that he took). Good reading and insightful. It talked about working genius levels or types. It also talked about working competencies and working frustrations. The packet contained a small summary or summaries of each subset of the six types - Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity.

I ended up calling and talking with Alan for a bit. We chatted and I scribbled some notes. See attached.

Here are a few of the notes:

- Stay a week or so ahead

- Let's plan and do some user experience studies and look into the some of the human factors of our fracture project. Human centered design stuff. Alan wanted to go into this as a career choice. He has some good stills and has taken a number of psychology classes dealing with page layout, flow, navigation, etc. Lots of usability stuff.

- Be agile with the planning - short sprints and focused planning - just in time deliverables vs a huge plan of a plan of a plan.

- It's ok to use hand drawings (at first). Eventually we'll make them tighter and more professional - like Adobe XD or live prototypes.

- Alan and I are planning on meeting a few times a week to get some of the initial planning kicked off and going.
