Setup Matters

Today's meeting started late, thanks mostly to a dead headset battery on my end, but was completed quickly enough that the meeting ended just about on time, in part because we had only four issues to triage.

Today's meeting was the first in its new time slot (Friday, noon Pacific Time). It might take a little while to get used to handling WiX triage simultaneously with early weekend happy hour here in the Eastern Time zone, but I, for one, intend to persevere.

Today was both Patch Tuesday and the 13th day of the month but our luck held out and today's meeting was a smoothly-running 30 minutes.

Today we had only five bugs to triage, yet the meeting still lasted a typical half-hour. That sounds familiar.

Luckily, last week's rate of incoming issues didn't continue. But we still ended up with 15 issues to triage today.

Yesterday we had five bugs to triage. By the time today's meeting actually arrived, we had 10 bugs. If that trend continues, next week's meeting will be quite interesting...
