Teammates: Eleanor, Shang, Yanny
- We arrive at meetings within 5 minutes of the agreed start time, with materials ready and full attention on the group.
- We give feedback using concrete examples (“this layout confused me because…”), and we balance critique with acknowledgment of what’s working.
- If we’re stuck, behind, or unsure how to proceed, we say so in Slack or during check-ins instead of staying silent.
- We recognize all types of work, including writing design docs, organizing files, taking notes, and making emotional space for others.
- We don’t finalize major narrative, design, or visual decisions unless everyone has had a chance to weigh in synchronously or asynchronously.
- We actively ask for ideas across disciplines—coders can comment on visual pacing, and designers can weigh in on game mechanics.
- If one of us is overwhelmed or overcommitted, we pause to discuss scope, redistribute tasks, or rework the timeline together.
- We write down what we’ve decided—in Notion, under the right page—so no one has to ask twice or guess where things are.
- Every Friday, one team member leads a 10-minute retro where we reflect on how we worked and what to improve next week.
