@NJDavidD - Because I'm the curious type, and I'm procrastinating about going out today, I checked in on #AVinTheAM today.

2 replies total in the first 8 minutes after the questions were posted. I'm sure it will pick up a little as the morning goes on but....

Back to thinking about what could be next.

#avtweeps

Worst weeks to get work projects moving:

Week of Thanksgiving
Weeks before, during, and after industry shows
Week of Independence Day if it falls on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday
Two weeks around Christmas and New Year's

Labor day and Memorial day can also be tricky but usually aren't as bad.

These weeks will always fall at the worst possible time for your project.

With the #Infocomm23 convention this week, some #avtweeps are defaulting back to using Twitter as a home base for direct group messaging between folx from different countries and areas. I get why. It's worked in the past and, honestly, the group DM was a powerful tool when linked to a functioning social media site.

I'm sorry but I just don't get why anyone, many who consider themselves an "ally", still use Twitter for any reason. It's not about your politics. It's about human rights and the safety of the people you claim to be friends of.

Twitter is not a safe space for #LGBTQ peeps. If you want to reach us, don't force us to log back into the trainwreck that is Twitter in 2023.

I wish the #avtweeps had decided as a whole to leave Twitter and join Mastodon. #Infocomm23 is next week and it would be easier to connect with those who will be there.

Now, I have some on WhatsApp, some on LinkedIn, and some on Instagram.

I truly hate Musk and the tech bros.

Q3 I've seen this debated before, There is "Done" and then there is "Done, Done". Can you explain the difference and what the gap is between the 2? Has this term evolved over the past 3 years? Has any new terms emerged in the Done vs Done, Done struggle? #AVinTheAM #avtweeps

#PMvEng asks Q6: #JacobyRule - How much of your #personalbrand comes into play in your project process? Does it lead to unconscious bias or have u been viewed w/bias because of your public persona? What do u do to improve yourself as an individual?

#AVinTheAM #avtweeps

Note: The #JacobyRule is named after me because I used to cheer when extra questions were posted!!

#PMvEng asks Q5: How do you manage multiple projects with different project members? Do you prefer having the same team for every project? Do you have a #Diverse project team? Are your teams built for #accessibility

#PMvEng asks Q2: NO NAMES! Tell us your craziest supply chain story? How did the chaos impact your project? What is your organization doing to address/mitigate this risk? Is it seen as just a Biz issue or are tech teams being educated & included?
