Technical Writing team rebalancing plan: November 2022
We're planning group reassignments of technical writers to:
- Assign groups to a new hire, Catherine Pope, who starts 31 October.
- Rebalance workload for existing team members (@fneill @msedlakjakubowski @marcel.amirault).
We expect the reassignments to start coming into effect from December to January (15.8 - 15.9) to allow for team member ramp-up.
The changes impact the following groups:
- devopsmonitor groupobservability
- devopsverify grouppipeline execution
- devopsfulfillment ~"group::commerce integrations"
We reorganize semi-frequently because our TW team does not yet meet our gearing ratio (1 writer, 3 groups), and we must rebalance the workload.
For this current rebalancing, out of 47 groups where we have assigned Technical Writers, 93% of previously existing groups maintain their existing technical writing relationships:
- 3 existing groups get new technical writer assignments, based on work balancing and ensuring velocity for their deliverables.
- 44 groups keep their current technical writer.
