Verify Async Week - 2023
Description
Last Verify async week happened almost 2 years ago on April 5-9, 2021.
Lot of folks have joined since then and last feedback received by the team back then was great.
Should we schedule another one?
When?
2023-05-01 to 2023-05-05
Why?
In an effort to help us practice async communication, and to give folks a chance to catch up we have scheduled an async week for all of Verify for the first week in April
This means moving as many sync calls as possible to async for one week, including team meetings, 1-on-1s, coffee chats, etc. We would still want to attend syncs for things like working groups and rapid actions, but try to go async for everything else.
For some additional resources on async practice, please read https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/asynchronous/#when-to-start-synchronous-first and https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/asynchronous/#question-every-meeting
It will be up to each manager to decide which of their meetings they want to move to async, so feel free to adjust your calendars accordingly.
