2024 - 2026 Power Gen Process Goals

  • Workday: SOD and EOD Updates & Goal-Setting​

    • Goals have to be very specific and actionable. If there’s not a specific deliverable that indicates the completion of the goal, then it’s not specific enough.

      • Bad goal: “Research about MPPT”

      • Good goal: “Find the answer to how the MPPT stays at the maximum power point on the input (the array side) and delivers a different voltage/current at the output (the battery side) at the hardware/circuit level.”

    • Updates Questions:

      • What I’ve done between the last check-in and this check-in

      • What I’ll do by the next check-in (write very very specific deliverables)

      • Quick life updates!

      • Questions? Announcements?

    • Updates process:

      • Have everyone write their updates

      • Walk through everyone's updates with the team

  • Document every design decision and every step of your process​

    • Why did you choose X component? What does it do? Links/citations?​

    • What does X function in X file do? Why? If it's an algorithm, are there any research to backup using/writing that algorithm? Links/citations?​

  • Have at least 2 people review every part of your board/code/etc. before they go into production​. It can be reviewed by people outside Power Gen as well.

    • For each of your review, write an at least 1 page documentation specifying your design decisions ("why this, that, etc.?), and all the context that a person on another team/system needs to understand your deliverable​

      • What exact & specific changes and decisions were made? Why those changes & decisions? Link the resources/literature to backup your decisions.

      • Give context to each change & decision.

  • ​Use Clickup for every LHR task (even the little ones)
