Yeah, honestly. That's the way to do it. No one knew the Boba Fats ship name for us. Or at least Sam did it. He's like, ah, I give up. Do you even try? I have no idea, dude. I'm the last person to theoretically be asking for that kind of stuff. Let me see how we're doing in terms of spots coming up. I think a lot of orders came in. We may be close to sold out.

It's all about who comes on the ballot next year. Tavius Caldwell Pope. Jason Tatum. Red, Mosaic. Rising stars, Franz Wagner. Because they said next year there's only one absolute lock. Jalen Green, that's Adrian Beltran. Adrian Beltran is the only 100% lock to get in next year. So they're saying that Wagner and Halton might get in next year.

OTAN Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Chris Velache. And I, well, thank you very much for joining my session today on teach, engage, and humanize your class with YouTube Shorts. My name is Chris Velache, and these are my emails. I work both at these places, Miracosta College and San Diego College of Continuing Ed. So, Mariana handed out some worksheets, or no worksheets, but just handouts. Yes. So you will have everything that I will show you here in the handout. So you don't need to take notes or anything. You have everything that I will show you here, there. It's just a little more concise in the handout. But let's begin. Let's begin, let's begin. So before we begin, does anybody know YouTube Shorts? YouTube Shorts? I know of, but not how to grade them. That's my idea. Yes. Excellent. I've seen some shorts on YouTube. On YouTube. So you have an idea. It's a short. Yes. Like the name says, they are very short videos, like the equivalence of a TikTok, but, you know, minus the issues that we have. Security and all the things behind TikTok these days. So, yes, that's going to be our presentation today, talking about, you know, short videos and how you can create some for your class. They're very easy videos, and we'll dive into that in a minute. But before we get into our YouTube Shorts again, we're going to do the same thing. I think everybody knows each other here or no? Do we know each other? Not everyone. Should we do this individually?  And then they will go to the next questions here. Have you ever watched YouTube Shorts? And I think Susan has. Reels, has anybody heard of the word reels? I've seen it on Facebook. It's the competition. Well, we have TikTok. We have YouTube Shorts and Reels for Instagram. So different companies. Yes, Facebook. So they own Instagram now. So same concept, short, catchy videos. So that's the question for you. Have you ever watched Shorts, Reels or TikToks videos? If so, can you describe? So what was striking from those videos? They were fast. They have music. So what else can you tell about these videos? And what was the video about if you watch? What is usually the content that you, that you check from these videos? Is it recipes? Is it educational content? Is it just a crazy person doing something? So anyways, let's begin with introduce yourself. So let's do it individually. We're going to start with Mariana here. Mariana, tell us. Yes, tell us Mariana. Hello everyone. My name is Mariana Silva. I teach with Chris at Miracosta College. I almost said San Diego continue yet because I was there for one year. And my colleagues in this year too from San Diego continue yet. Well, previous job, right? I have seen YouTube Shorts. I think it's the music, the fact that they're concise that, and the fun stuff, right? It's usually something fun engaging. And you learn something quick from them. I can think of what kind of, I think just the funny silly stuff that I see. More my kids draw me into that, right? Tic-tac, I don't do Tic-tac, right? Maybe none of us shoot anymore, right? There is a lot to it. That's it. Thank you very much Mariana. I don't know who else. Susan. Hi, I'm Susan. And I don't work. Well, I'm tired. I do work. Okay. So I think I have seen reels on Facebook where they do recipes really quick. Yes. And it's like super speedy recipes. And you watch it and they put the earrings there. And then Tic-tac, I don't do it. And then Shorts. I think I was looking because I teach ESL. I want to look for Shorts because they're short. And I think I've searched them. And sometimes they tell a story. Yes. Yes. There is a lot of content that you can create. And there is also created out there that we can use for our students. Like the shore attention span. That's perfect. You know, if you have a very quick recap lesson or something. There is already, like I said, there's already a lot of content on Shorts. But it would be, you know, even better if we create our own. So we personalize and humanize our practices even more. Thank you very much. Susan and Cindy. Hi, I'm Cindy. I'm a Slavsky. And I'm a former ESL teacher with the San Diego Community College District in the adult ed division. Now I work part-time for all of them. And I would say, as far as watching those, no, no, no. Unless I have an accident or anything. I've seen on Facebook the ones where they're showing how to make a hairstyle. It's kind of messed up. But I have to watch it 10 times. Anyway, I'm going to be here. Awesome. Thank you. Hi, I'm Adrienne Adriana. And I am also retired. This is like the row of retired, semi-retired educators. I would never say that row. I would never go away though. What be where? Okay, so I'm working currently part-time with CCAE, the California Council for Adult Education. And so I don't have students. I don't have a classroom anymore. Oh, and I was, I worked in the Sweetwater District. I was an administrator here until I was an adult for a time. But with regard, oh, sorry. Sorry. With regard to YouTube shorts and reels, I don't have an Instagram account CCAE does, but I don't manage it. TikTok. We don't do TikTok, but I have seen the, the. Yeah. The Facebook ones. They already won. Yeah. My, my laptop is set up to repeat those. So it just goes on and on. So I'm good. So I see it 10 times and then I do it. And then sure. Yeah. So that's why I'm here. Thank you. Thank you, Adrienne. And I see you. Yeah. And then again. What's your name? Thank you. So my name is Maria. Excuse me. I'm a CCAE teacher. I was in school. We're in Sacramento. And I have actually never, I've never watched YouTube shorts. I rarely use YouTube. I don't use TikTok, but I have seen reels. Definitely on Instagram. I watch mostly recipes and I watch a lot of culture content. When they say, you know, they like reenact moments when you're young. You know, when your parents do this and then when your, when your parents turn into grandparents, they're nice. You know, that's a lot that comes up on my feed. So yeah. Maria. Yes. And then you sort of watch it. Hi. Yeah. My name is Jerry. I work for a world education, former teacher. So I don't have a classroom anymore, but I do a lot of professional development right now. I'm not super familiar with YouTube. They show up when I'm on YouTube and I've never, I don't watch them, but I do use Instagram a lot. So I always see those come up on, you know, the reels all the time. I like some of the history ones. Yeah. Social science, they both have like condensed things or like news, politics, I'll follow some of those. Right. Yeah. I mean, I guess we all have that short attention. Right. The meat of the cooking. That's exactly right. Awesome. Thank you. And I'm Angelica. And I am at Monterey adult school, Monterey Bay, not Monterey Park in Los Angeles. So I'm up north to our south of San Francisco and our south of San Jose. Santa Cruz, that Monterey, not the Elena. I can't tell you how many people, but I'm not sure if I can. No. No. I teach beginning ESL and computer classes. I do watch the shorts, the reels, everything you've mentioned. In addition, our district puts out regular shorts and reels. Like we have one with a superintendent doing a silly dance. Oh, I try to encourage people to attend, like the advisory meetings and things like that, or the board meeting. And they did one with our principal. I'd be known to her. It was all over social media to like, oh no. Yeah. And they're encouraging me because I do the social media for the school and the school website. They want me to do more of these. I have no idea what I'm doing. I, my, my husband has two nieces that are YouTube influencers. They have a channel. See, and so they travel all over Mexico, and they do these little videos. And so there's one of them dancing on the Golden Gate Bridge. There's one where they visit us in Monterey, went to the war, and they do these shorts and reels for the first time. But yeah, they do these shorts and reels. I have thousands of viewers and, oh, so they're famous. They're famous kids. Yeah. They have a certain audience. So they make money. I believe so. Cause that's how they can afford to keep traveling. Yeah. Just a little disclaimer. This, this workshop is not, I'm not going to teach you how to make money with this, but you know, I want to show you how you can, you know, create content for your class. That would be a good idea to show you like, how do we monetize all this TikTok in these videos? But that's going to be another session in the future. Anyways, well thank you very much for introducing yourselves and tell us a little bit about your experience with YouTube Shorts, Reels or TikTok. Basically these three things are similar in a way that they are short, right? Short condensed videos with music and filters and all sorts of stuff. They're really catchy for everybody. So at the end of the session, at the end of this, you know, presentation, what I want is for everybody, for all of you to be able to answer, what are YouTube Shorts, you know, how you create YouTube Shorts and what videos can you make for your class? So three things at the end of the lesson. So let's begin with the definition, you know, YouTube Shorts are short videos. That's it. They are 60 seconds or less. You can upload more seconds. I mean, it's just 60 or less. They're typically catchy, right? They have background music, animated text and filter and a lot of other things. They are also called the TikTok version of YouTube.  So, whatever. So viewers can dislike, comment and subscribe. So if you create a YouTube Shorts, your students will be able to like, dislike, comment and subscribe to your channel. So if you want to create in the future a small YouTube channel where you can store all your YouTube Shorts and you can recycle them for your classes, that's a great way to go. So, this QR code has a better explanation. Well, it's got more information about YouTube Shorts. It's six minutes and eight seconds. So you have that in your handouts. You can check that at home, but it's a very concise explanation of what YouTube Shorts are. Again, just remember, YouTube Shorts are just short videos, six second max and vertical orientation. So you'll see them like this, like when you're scrolling up or down. So the layout is going to always going to be vertical. You can also upload content in horizontal. It will allow you to also use videos in horizontal orientation, but typically this is the best format for this type of videos. There we go. So, any questions about YouTube Shorts? I think that's pretty clear. Here is an example. I created this for my class at the beginning of the year. This was one of my welcome videos for onboarding my students. Just a little, you know, introduction. You know, we often talk about the humanizing components that is so essential for our students to get that, you know, connection with students before the classes begin. So I created this short. So you can watch it. And I don't know if I can play it from here, maybe. I don't know if that's going to send me. Maybe not. Maybe not one second. Yes. So I will show you this in a little bit, but as you can see, vertical, right? And as I said, if you create YouTube Shorts, your students will be able to like, dislike, comment, or share. You can also remix, you know, other videos with your videos. And, you know, it's pretty user-friendly. So let me see. Let me go to the next slide. So we are going to attempt in creating a YouTube Shorts today. How do you feel about that if you're ready? But I would like you to create something today, if possible. If you do want to try that, what you'll need is a cell phone. And I think all of you have a cell phone. We have internet, I think. Yes, we do have internet. And then you will need a YouTube app. You won't be able to make. Just a regular YouTube app. There is no YouTube Shorts app. It's just everything stored in one place. So if you have the YouTube app, you're good. If you don't, if you have an iPhone, you can scan this QR code and it will take you to the app store so you can download it for free. If you have an Android phone, of course you will go to that QR code and you will be able to download YouTube for free. Of course, we're going to have to need a little patience. If you get a little lost, remember this is technology and we will have to kind of breathe a little deeper when it comes to technology sometimes. And of course imagination. So if you have all of these and if you're ready, we're going to begin everybody. So how do you make YouTube Shorts? So the first thing you need to do is once you download the YouTube app, this one over here. This is my phone. You're going to open it, right? You're going to open that app and you will see this widget. So what I'm going to call this thing, widgets or symbols, icons. So you're going to click on that plus button right here and you are going to create a short from scratch from scratch. And what else? What we're going to do next is select keep current selection. Mine doesn't say that. Mine says create a short allow access. Yeah, you have to allow. Then keep current selection. Keep current selection. It doesn't say that. It says create short. And you are there. Some of yours will be excellent. Some of you will see this popping up from your phones. So I think if you are there, we're ready to record. So now we can make a video. See how simple it is? Let's say you are at the beach and you want to connect with your students I haven't really. I've been busy. I messaged them in front. I said if I'm late, it's because wait for me. How about if we make a welcome just for the test, just for this session, we can make a welcome video. Hi, my name is. Yes, let me show you. Yeah, let me show you mine. I'm sorry. Let me show you my example. Don't you want to go to your YouTube channel? Yeah, I think I have it on my YouTube channel. But I thought I had it. Yeah, I'm going to go to the YouTube channel. We won't look at your channel. Don't look at my history. Let's see. Close your eyes, everybody. I'm not recording. I'm recording. One second, everybody. What is my channel now? You see my... No, I think I... One second, I don't think that's... Yeah, can you go to your blue seat? Yeah, I think it was wrong because I was signed out as my personal account. So let me show you then my example. Again, this was the first short that I created for my class. And that was a welcome video. Let's do some coding right now. No coding today. So let me show you then my short. This is my YouTube short. And it's a welcome video. Wow, look at this. Yeah, my name is Chris Velace. I'm going to be your English number one teacher. Our classes will begin on Monday, January 23rd at the Community Learning Center in Oceanside. Our classroom number is 216. I am very happy to work with you and help you with your English. See you very soon. You can also add... I add a little bit of something there. But anyway, so I forgot to mention most of my experience is for ESL, beginner ESL. So this video is, of course, very basic. It's just a little short introduction. So any less than five minutes to create... I mean, of course, you have to prepare what you're going to say. And I think that's what it takes more time to think what you're going to say in that video and then add the rest. So very, very short. So what do you think? Any questions about the video? Any... Shall we go there and like it? Please, subscribe to my channel too. So let me go back again over here. So let's go back to... Let's see what do I... Did you use the camera on your phone? Yes, you did. The beauty of this app, you just need your phone. It is... You don't need a computer. You don't need an app. But music is everything within YouTube.  Then you can do the fun part, which is adding text or adding the music. So yes, everything using my phone. I didn't use the computer to create the video I showed you. Very, very simple. So that's what we try. I want you guys to try to do today. And it doesn't have to be perfect. Again, you open the YouTube app. You click plus, create short. Maybe you have that much. Maybe you don't. And let's go to the next one. Now what? You have to record your video by hitting the red button. And again, this is a test. You can just say, hi, hello. I am Mariana. I am at the TDLS 2023 stuff. So what we want to practice is adding the details to your video. So how about if you want to take a few seconds and do just like a six second video, whatever you want, just introduce yourself. Of course. For a nice background. What is your background? So everybody just do a little slide towards me. I think it's recording. You see? It is not towards me. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. They really have to have a great day. Dirty girl is much better than they thought. I forgot to press record. That's good. That was, um, yes. Let me put that one. Once you finish, you're gonna... Oh, it's going. I want to go. I keep going. I want to start. You're going to, um... That was scary. Let me see what you're doing, Susan. Hi. That's better. Hi. I am going to be your teacher for writing. I just want to say hello to you. Hi. You're so blue. Now you're going to do decoration there. You have these fun parts over here. You're going to ask music. Ask music. Hi. Hi. Open. Right here. The plus button. I can hear you. Okay. It's just you and me. I don't know. Take the check button. Oh, you can do it. How do I stop? I don't know. So, I... Hi. Hi. I just want to say hello. Hi. My name is Susan. I'm so tired of hearing you. You can just say hi. Hi. I'm going to just say, hey, you can't stop. I want you to love music, but I think... It won't stop. See? No, I think we need to go back and... Hi. How about... How about... I'll just do it again. I shouldn't have hit the check button. I shouldn't have hit the check button. Yes, because you need to... You need to first add... You are going to add music or text. Or... You can't go back and edit now. I think I clicked too far. That's okay. Yeah, that's you are ready to... You know, you're ready to... Did you add music or not? No, no, no. I'm going to hit the check button. No, no, no. I'm going to hit the check button. No. Yeah, that's the problem. This is like once... Always you want to save it as a drop. Okay, so now I have my... I'm not hitting that button. Again? Yes, that sounds good. Now, if you guys already finished your video, the fun part begins. I have to... Add music... Text... I think we're having a lot of fun today, everybody. What are we going to call? That's on Holy. Okay. You're going to add music... Add music by clicking on that musical symbol. Text... Text... Thank you. What's on filter? The filters? Right here, background. Oh, maybe more. Everybody, I think we're listening to music. You can add filters if you click on this little thing over here because it's sparkling. Okay. You can't hit the check button. One second. Now, this is too loud. Now, I think I forgot to mention the volume of your music. You're trying to love this? You know what you're saying? Yes. Can you reduce the sound of the music? Yes, you can reduce it. When you go to volume, the little speaker can hear you. Oh, you can't pitch you. Unless you have your influencer friends there. Okay, so just original sound. I'm not there yet. I think I'm on the filter show. I'm going to play the hit check button. Same. I don't like this filter at all. Red touch. So if you like the voice, I think the reason it's not stopping is to make sure that it doesn't stop. So if I like that. It's because we have sound here. But if you do this at home, it'll sound better because of the sound here. And again, it doesn't have to be perfect everybody. It doesn't have to be perfect. Did you guys do your, are you guys exploring the features of your You didn't tell us to do the retouch. The retouch, the music. Make sure you click on the speaker to adjust the volume of the music. You want your students to hear your voice.

Hey everyone, welcome to this week's video update. Today's Friday, February 16th Hope everybody had a good week of trading. Let's take a quick look at the markets And then I'll go over my trades that I took this week Starting with SPX. Of course, we hit a new brand new all-time high 5048 on Monday Big drop after CPI on Tuesday bounce back Wednesday Thursday, and then another sell-off today So price action pretty similar on the Nasdaq and the Dow the Russell ended a little bit stronger After the CPI sell-off bounced back quite a bit higher Than the other three indices gold sell-off early in the week bounced back the last couple days and Silver really rallied had that had the sell-off but big rally got back all of it on Thursday and then extended that upside today Notes and bonds ended lower 10-year yield Back above 4.2 settling in at 4.28 oil a Little bit choppy sideways finished the week a little bit higher. Natty gas continued its slide lower to pretty historic lows Let's see soybeans A little bounce today, but lower for the week wheat lower for the week corn continuing its slide lower Euro in the pound A little bit of a choppy bounce back after CPI and then Bitcoin settling in above 52,000 and VIX at 14.24 almost touched 18 on Tuesday of CPI and then just Massive contraction back down into the 14 handle. So let's quick look at the markets. Let's take a look at my trades Pretty frustrating week for me. It ended up being It would have ended up being a little bit of a red week anyway, but on top of that I can't I compounded it with a really really stupid mistake Pretty much just pooped the bed on this one. So I'll share that with you All right, so first off zero DTE So I've got a couple of re-entries that I've been doing and I've just I've kind of moved them out of my test mode So I'll be sharing these with folks here in the community coming up on my AM trades Three of those one of them was a fairly sizable loser. So net minus 3600 on those No DKS no FOMC JSP Took one of those discretionary minus or excuse me plus 1395 on that one Power hour was not the hour of power for me this week I've been I've been pretty inconsistent in the way that I've been trading it as well and Here's but here's here's all the trades that I took this week. So Make sure let me refresh here. I think that's right minus 26k on my power out No, I'm sorry minus 17,000 on the power our trades, but only four winners out of 12 trades so pretty Pretty lackluster performance on that on my PM iron condors I just took one of those and it was a pretty sizable loser minus 8480 on that one No quiet lunches, but I did do a Rick. I did two to reverse iron condors Both were winners. These were both on the same day.  I don't think yeah, no opens or closes on those Dynamic calendars After CPI it was a little bit of a bloodbath. I had to close them out just to reduce risk They would have ended up coming back.  I think there's like eight hundred and forty five bucks or something like that You know these unchecked a quick refresh Yeah, eight eighty five Seventeen total trades so a little bit green. I'll take it Uh See iron ducks. I don't think I oh, yeah, one winner little small winner plus one sixty six and then option selling Had one winner No, I'm sorry. That was I was thinking of portfolio margin. Yeah, these are just all open trades So no no close trades there and then portfolio margin trades A little bit green, you know, these checked All right, so a four hundred eighty dollar winner on this Humpty This one's still open. I closed half of it So booked a little bit of profit there and then this one will once the the other options settle out it'll end up being more like a I Don't know three hundred fifty dollar winner something like that. So it won't be a thousand so just a couple winners there and So that's it the only other thing I was going to show is my My Blunder Which was this one here? So this is a this is a strategy that I just started setting up my my automation for and And so it's still still in kind of my my test mode But what happened here is on this day here, which was is that Tuesday at Tuesday? So I was I set these long story short. I set these up to do some automation and And I did not check it correctly. I didn't do it right long story short instead of just one of these firing This is kind of a tronch strategy. So it's tronching in at different times Instead of tronching in it just opened all the positions at one time and it was so it was about five times the size of the Position that I really wanted to open and when I when I caught it as I decided, you know what? I'm just gonna let it go. I'm just gonna let it ride it You know, I you know, I just it looked like it was any price action was in a good spot to just continue to decay away And wouldn't you know it? Of course what happened? I got stopped out on the on the big position So what should have been a you know, $5,000 loss ended up being a $20,000 loss. So pretty brutal not real happy with myself on that one, so minus $17,000 on those but I'm gonna continue testing these you can see a bunch of them did good today and I'll continue to test those but just testing with that kind of size not a smart move on my part, but that's how it happens the the Frustrating part is, you know, my three out of my four accounts were pushing new all-time highs From a P&L perspective Everything was going just great And then I did this and then on top of that had some other losing trades that kind of compounded the frustration. So Unfortunately that is part of trading my friends, but it shouldn't have to be those kind of stupid Just kind of disaster should not be should not be part of my trading at this point but it is what it is and So we move on beat myself up enough today over it and Next week's a new week my friends. So have a good weekend and we will chat with you soon. Take care


Is it audible? Good? Very good. All right. Welcome, everyone. Thank you for coming out post-lunch. Yeah, I'm glad you all could make it to the session. My name is Rahul Sharma, and I'm the principal product manager for our container products at Dell. And today, I'll be talking about our open source store the solutions for our cloud-native stateful applications. I guess just by a show of hands, we've got a few people in the audience here. How many of you have stateful applications running in your environments at your organizations? Good to hear that. And how many of you by a show of hands have more than one cloud running in your environment, like public cloud, private, more than one public? All right. So let's just agree that we're all in a multi-cloud world. We had this announcement at Dell Tech World. And we talked about how it's not just going to be just public cloud or it's just private cloud. It's going to be like a blend of these two environments. And we found some research to support that. So we did some research at IDC, where we found that more than 90% of companies worldwide will rely on a mix of private, public, more than one public cloud environments. And we see that reflected in a lot of our customer environments today. And speaking of this multi-cloud environment, I think in a stateful application context, what our customers are looking for is really that consistent experience across private cloud, public cloud, and have just that consistency in setting up storage for their stateful applications. So when you think about stateful applications, what do you believe are the most significant challenges for the stateful applications that customers are running in their environments? And we see a number of them. High availability is a key one. Stateful workloads and persistent storage has been around for a while, but the problem of high availability is not fully solved. And we'll talk about how at Dell, we're approaching this problem and what kind of products we have out there to address that problem. We see a lot of customers who have traditional roles. Some have like storage admins or storage engineers who are still getting up to speed with containers and cloud native skill sets and Kubernetes skill sets. And then we have, on the other hand, a set of customers that are really good at setting up their cloud native environments with Kubernetes and containers, but they don't have as much knowledge of the storage side of the equation. So we're trying to fill the gap there. Compliance and security, as we heard this morning as well in the keynote, it's a major concern with stateful applications. Cost control is another one that comes up in many, many customer conversations. We hear all kinds of cases, but one case that stands out to me is where this customer mentioned sort of like a mid-state startup and they were like, we've been, we started off in the public cloud and we thought we'll have the benefit of that flexibility and elasticity. And what they found was that ultimately they just lost complete control of their costs. And they came to us and they asked us, hey, how do we rebuild that in our private cloud environment where we can actually control those costs? So that's another major challenge that we see. And finally, application portability and deployment. Now with containers, it's easy, like portability is just like a principle driving containers in terms of mobility and portability. But what's, the missing piece is the mobility of volumes that are associated with those containers and cloud native applications and we'll talk about how we're solving for that. So in terms of the environments that we see customers running today for their stateful applications, we see customers that have a mix of either their container orchestrator, Kubernetes, running on bare metal. We see some customers having a virtualized cloud native environment and with some customers we see a blend of the two. And that's really the most common operating model that we see customers using today. Now, irrespective of that model, what they do need underpinning that environment is the infrastructure elements, to compute the storage and the networking. And what I'll be focusing on today is how we are enabling customers to set up their persistent storage for their cloud native applications. So we have three key products in this space today. We have our CSI drivers based on the CSI specification from the Kubernetes community. We have our container storage modules that offer advanced enterprise data services that are built on top of the CSI spec and the CSI foundation. And then we have, from a data protection standpoint, we have the PowerProtect Data Manager that can protect your Kubernetes or containerized workloads. What I'll be focusing on is just our CSI plugins and our container storage modules. So speaking of our CSI plugins, we've got basically a CSI plugin for all kinds of Kubernetes workloads. Whether it's block, we've got a scale out software defined storage with PowerFlex. We've got a really high end block storage in PowerMax and many financial services and financial institutions use. And we've got a unified storage with a block and file on a single platform with PowerStore as well. In terms of VWalls, for any of you who use Tanzu, Tanzu environment, you can leverage VWalls, SBBMs, and we support that through both NFS or NFS CSI drivers or you use CNS to access block storage. And again, in terms of file shares, if you have sort of an environment where your pods are directly accessing NFS shares, we've got the PowerScale storage or if you wanna use the CSI driver to spin up your NFS environments, we've got the PowerScale storage out there. From an object storage standpoint, we just, at Dell Tech World announced, ObjectScale, which is going to be a new object storage platform. So for any of your object storage needs, you can always use that. So today, your Kubernetes clusters can access that through the object store APIs. In the future, as some of you may know, there's a new specification coming out called Container Object Storage Interface. So we'll have a CoC driver that's going to enable you to set up your object storage in a private cloud environment with Kubernetes cluster using that CoC driver. So that's coming out shortly. Whether it comes to any kind of Kubernetes distribution, all of the major Kubernetes distributions, whether it's EKS, Rancher, Kubernetes Engine, Azure Stack HCI, Google Anthos, Tanzu, OpenShift, Mirante, Kubernetes Engine, we've basically support and qualify all of these major distributions out there. And it doesn't matter what workload you're running on it, whether it's a database, whether it's an analytics workload, whether it's an AIML kind of application, we support all of those today from a stateful application perspective. And of course, we've got HCI products as well, things like VxRail, PowerFlex, and of course, the storage as is described and we've got data protection as well that is qualified on most of the popular Kubernetes distributions out there. So from a Tanzu perspective, like I described whether you're using sort of policy-driven dynamic provisioning, you can do that on Tanzu with our storage in the backend. If it's block, you can use Vvolves with VMFS and SPBMs. If in its file, you can use our NFS CSI drivers to use them in the backend as file storage for your Kubernetes clusters running on Tanzu. And we're seeing a lot of adoption in this kind of configuration picking up. So if you have any questions about that, feel free to have a chat offline or come to the booth later and we can dive into the details there. So now let's talk about what's not covered by the CSI spec or the CSI drivers. Like apart from the standard volume, creation, deletion, update, resizing, cloning, operations, what's not covered? Monitoring is not covered. So we're addressing that through observability. DR is not covered. Replication is not covered. So we're plugging that gap through our container storage modules for replication that are purpose-built for our storage arrays, leveraging the native replication capabilities in our storage arrays. From an authorization perspective, there is Kubernetes RBAC available today, but what it doesn't do is quota management. So we're plugging that gap with our authorization CSM module. You can do quota management, storage admins, they can basically set up tenants, assign them a JWT token, set up a quota and enforce that quota for those tenants. In terms of resiliency, so what we're doing with resiliency is identify any kind of like hardware failure, Kubernetes control plane failure or any kind of network failure and we can reschedule pods automatically. We've automated that workflow where whenever there's a node failure or hardware failure, it can automatically reschedule the pod, unmap the volume from it, remap the volume to the reschedule pod on a healthy node. In terms of volume placement, that's a module that's on the roadmap for now, but the idea there is that we plan to basically, whenever a developer fires off a PVC request, they would be able to match those PVCs with the array based on the performance characteristics, whether it's SSD, HDD, NVMe or they could even, it could match with the arrays based on the available free capacity on those arrays so that there's better load balancing. And then we also added an enhancement on the snapshot feature through the CSI driver, which is the volume group snapshots and what it does, it basically enables crash consistent backups of your applications. So what you can do is you can take a snapshot of a group of volumes together where you have your application deployed and you can do that to the sidecar that we've created so that you maintain referential integrity and you have a crash consistent backup of your applications. So now let's dive into some of the details and I can even provide a demo for each of these modules. So for the observability module, what we're doing is we are leveraging the open telemetry collector which scrapes the performance data, the capacity utilization data from the storage arrays. It stores that data in Prometheus and we visualize that in Grafana dashboards. And what it shows the customers is storage pool consumption, the system IO performance, it basically shows the provision volume topology and all of the key characteristics that you're looking to observe from a storage perspective for your stateful applications. And the way to deploy it today is through Helm charts. We're also adding that to our operator as well. So let's look at one of the demos. So you see we are using a Rancher Kubernetes engine here. We see that we've got our hotel collector available in the marketplace. You deploy the collector. We've also got our Grafana dashboard set up here with Prometheus in the back end and you see all of the key usage characteristics, memory usage, file system usage, topology data and we're using our PowerFlex storage array in the back end here for demonstration purposes. And you can even see that topology view with Kubernetes which shows you all of the provision volumes and what array they're connected to. And it is a view of the capacity utilization through the observability module. And in the future we'll be adding customizations to these dashboards as well. And here you can see all of the performance characteristics of the arrays that have been made available through the observability module. So let's talk about replication. This really is one of the key differentiators for us when it comes to supporting stateful applications and containerized workloads. I'm not sure how many of you have heard about our SRDF capability on PowerMax for our block storage array. So for containerized workloads we basically extended that SRDF capability for PowerMax to Kubernetes through our CSM replication module. So we've got a side car that runs on the controller, master nodes and the worker nodes. And we've created a command line utility called RepCTL that you can use for failing over volumes to your DR site. You can fill them back, you can re-protect them and it's basically supports both a stretch cluster configuration or a replica cluster configuration. And similarly for your file storage needs for PowerScale, we're leveraging syncIQ today. And similarly we'll be leveraging our array replication capabilities and extending them to Kubernetes. So authorization, so like I mentioned, for Kubernetes today there is a native RBAC capability but what it lacks is the ability to do quota management and enforcement. And how we enable that is we deploy a proxy between our CSI drivers and the storage system and we enforce role-based access and we enforce usage rules. So what the admins can do is they create these tenants, they assign them JWT tokens, the tenants can access the storage based on those JWT tokens, they're assigned a quota and that quota can be enforced by the storage admin. And we also enable credential shielding. So if you've got multiple developers, multiple tenants running on a cluster, they just don't sort of basically use up all of the storage that you've assigned to a Kubernetes cluster. You can control the usage of storage through the authorization module. And we enable this today through another command line utility that we've created called Karavi Cuttle. Karavi by the way was the code name for our container storage modules internally. So on some of our GitHub repos you might see references to that. So let's look at a demo again. So we're using Rancher Kubernetes Engine and we have deployed the Helm charts for our authorization CSM module and we're using a Cockroach DB database for this demo. You'll see that the storage admin will create a tenant. Here we'll assign a quota to that tenant and then we'll see that the tenant is being a bit naughty and trying to exceed that capacity and then you'll see that that's denied because we've provided capability to the admin to enforce the quota that's been created. So you see he sets the quota limit for three gigs and you see the tenant listed here and one of the tenants he goes in, she goes in, she tries to create a volume. They try to exceed that volume capacity and then you'll see that the request was denied. Not enough quota available. So this basically really just just demonstrate how we're sort of extending the capabilities that are available on our storage platforms today that the CSI spec lacks. And by the way, all of this like I've already mentioned is open source, free of charge for all of our customers today. So let's talk about resiliency and how we enable that. So today, when you set up a Kubernetes cluster, you have a hardware failure so we're sort of demonstrating that right now. We have a Kubernetes cluster running with three masters to workers with running on vSphere. We disabled a VM just to show what will happen to that pod and you'll see that stuck in terminating node. Nothing happens. So how do you solve that? Like, you know, you generally have to drain the node and you have to manually intervene and reschedule that pod onto another healthy node. So, you know, we spoke to customers and they brought this problem to us and, you know, we thought about how do we fix this problem? And, you know, the result of that was the creation of this resiliency module which is essentially a pod monitor side card that we created and what it does, it basically makes the persistent storage more resilient to failures. And this pod monitor basically, you know, it's like a, it's a side card to the CSI driver. So when you're deploying the drivers with the Helm charts, the operator, you can deploy the resiliency side card as well. It's deployed on both the controller pods and the masters and the workers and it basically looks out for any kind of hardware failures. It puts a taint on that node and then it reschedules the pod onto a healthy node, unmaps the persistent volume in the backend, remaps the volume to the healthy pods and, you know, all of that is done in the backend in an automated fashion. So let's look at a demo for that as well. So again, we're using an RKE cluster here and we've deployed our resiliency side card in the backend. We're using a cockroach DB deployed deployed with, you know, on a three node environment. And then you'll see that, you'll see, you know, we're, you'll see that, you know, we'll manually disable one of the nodes, the network connectivity on one of the nodes and that in the background, automatically the, you know, the side card will have put a taint on that node. It will have rescheduled the pod onto another healthy node and the volume will also automatically have been unmapped and remapped onto the healthy pod. So all of that is being done in the background and you'll see that, you know, right now you see we just manually intervened and killed the node and then, you know, soon after you'll see it will be up and running again, like nothing happened.  I think this piece is really useful in those kind of use cases. So again, you know, just showing those nodes and you see it's back up and running again in that automated way.  And when you compare that with many of the products that are out there today, you see that, you know, there really is no match for our storage products, especially for containerized workloads. Like with PowerFlex, you can get up to 2.2 million IOPS in terms of resiliency. I just demonstrated we have a CSM replication module that enables resiliency and we also leverage our Ray-native replication capabilities like SRDF or PowerMax, which really enables, you know, disaster recovery and high availability. And in terms of scalability on PowerMax, you know, you can scale up to, you know, 64,000 VWalls. You can have up to 40,000 NFS exports per cluster on PowerScale. And, you know, there really is, you know, really not many alternatives out there when it comes to that level of scale. So now that we've talked about what's available today, you know, we also wanted to, we also wanted to sort of talk about what we're, what we have, you know, coming out in the future. So we talked about monitoring through observability, DR through replication, quota management, and RBAC through authorization, hardware failure detection and recovery through resiliency, volume placement through intelligent volume placement, crash consistent snapshots through volume group snapshots, what next? So we talked about application mobility or portability and deployment as a key challenge. And we're solving that through the application mobility module. And I'll just dive into a few more details about that module. In addition, another challenge we've heard from customers is that how do they enable encryption for containerized workloads? So we will have another module come out called CSM secure, which is going to enable data security. It's going to enable encryption of volumes. And it's going to enable integration with some external key managers, such as HashiCorp World. So let's talk about application mobility and how we enable that. So, you know, we enable customers today to run our persistent storage in the backend for on-prem Kubernetes clusters using our CSI drivers for customers that have sort of hybrid cloud environments and are using multiple container management platforms or Kubernetes distributions like Rancher, OpenShift, Merantis, and Tanzu. They can use our CSI drivers as well to expose our persistent storage in the backend. For public cloud environments, we just announced a Dell Tech World that will be bringing our storage operating systems to the public cloud. So even in the public cloud, if you have Kubernetes clusters and cloud-native applications running, you will be able to have a similar consistent experience. Now that you have those standard CSI operations enabled, you would also need some of these enterprise data services that I spoke about like observability, replication, authorization, resiliency, and intelligent volume placement. So we'll enable that on each of these environments. Now what's missing? What's missing is the capability to move not just the metadata of the applications or the containers, but the volumes that are associated with those containers. So we will enable that through application mobility. And, you know, through that modules, you will be able to move an application from on-prem to the hybrid cloud, on-prem to the public cloud. If you have a repatriation use case, you would be able to do that and, you know, we'll support that kind of use case as well through application mobility. So we put a little demo together here that I wanted to show, but let me just disable the audio here. So what we did here is like, you know, let's imagine a use case where you have, you know, you have an on-prem environment and you have an environment in the public cloud on AWS. And what you want to do is, let's say you have a sort of a blue-green deployment kind of use case, or you just want to do like test dev on an application, take it from an on-prem environment to the public cloud. So how do you do that with just a single command? And what we did was we wrapped up some of the components in the back end, you know, like we use some open source tools like Valero and Restick. We wrapped them up with our controller. So what we've done is you see on the left is the on-prem environment and on the right is the environment in AWS. And what we're gonna do is with a single command, you can move the metadata of the application and the volumes to that public cloud environment. So you see we've already configured the application. We're using a WordPress application with a MySQL database in the back end. We've already configured the components of application mobility module on both the source cluster and the destination cluster. And we're just sort of demonstrating right now the key components in the AWS environment. So you see we've got our application mobility controllers installed, we've got the volumes configured on PowerFlex with our block array. And this is just the example of WordPress blog that we've created. We've created a test entry there. And now what we'll do is we'll use a single command to move the entire application from the on-prem Kubernetes cluster to the AWS EKS cluster. So you can have any source cluster or any target cluster and with a single command, you'll see that soon the objects will start backing up or being cloned to the S3 environment in AWS. You'll see then the volumes will start showing up on the right in the AWS EKS environment as well. And then we'll demonstrate through just, we've automated basically the orchestration of that application from S3 to EBS volumes and orchestrating that directly with an EKS cluster. So that the application is up and running directly in that AWS EKS cluster. So you see right now that the volumes are backed up to the S3 object store. We see the application data there as well. And now we'll go through, we'll go to the EKS command line. We'll pick up the public, the external IP and we look at that application through the external IP and you'll see that the same blog that we were running on-prem is running exactly the same with that test entry, exactly the same. So there could be many use cases that you could use this for. You could have a resource augmentation use case where you need to run some additional GPUs in the cloud or you need to just have like a really a bursty kind of environment in the cloud where you have a very high CPU requirements, you let it run in the cloud and once again that season is over, you repatriate back on-prem. And all of those tasks are orchestrated through a single command line. So that really is the value here. And you'll see this module come out in the near future. We did sort of talk about this at Dell Tech World but we'll have a tech preview coming out soon for you to test it out. Speaking of encryption and security, as I mentioned, we'll have a CSM secure container storage module which is going to have a sidecar running that can encrypt your mission critical volumes. We'll also enable integration with external key managers like HashiCorp Vault. So you can create your keys through HashiCorp, you can use that key to encrypt a volume, you can seal that key so that no other developer or tenant can modify that volume and then you can unseal that vault and then you can use that volume in an unencrypted configuration as well. So that's sort of again like a future-looking module that you'll see come out in the near future. So all of the demos that I presented today, we have them available on YouTube. We've got a blog as well that one of our VP runs. Really cool blog, I encourage you to check it out, volumes.blog, all of the details that I spoke about today, you can find them on his blog as well. And then in terms of our GitHub repos, I just wanted to provide a few links here and the link to our doc site as well in case you want to dive into additional details. So with that, yep, we're all done. And by the way, we do have a booth as well at the expo floor. So in case you want to come have a chat with me or with Jen or any of our other colleagues, feel free to come over and we can dive into additional details. So with that, let me open up any questions that anyone has. So like I said, with all of these container management platforms today, Dell has compute, network storage, all kinds of products that support these Kubernetes distributions. So if a customer is looking to recreate their cloud-native environment from a public cloud on-prem, we actually have reference architectures that are published for Rancher, for OpenShift. I think the team is also working on vanilla Kubernetes environments. So if they, like in this case that I spoke about, that's what our recommendation was as well, that they can use those reference architectures to recreate those kind of environments as well. You're welcome. Any other questions? All right, I mean, we'll be here and at the booth as well. So let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.


Much of the bushfire safety research in recent years has focused on what it takes for people to act decisively and safely in the event of a bushfire. In many of the most tragic cases, the evidence suggests that lives could have been saved had people acted differently. This sobering fact has led researchers to focus on the factors that influence people's decision making before and during bushfires. What we've learned is that making decisions during a bushfire is extremely difficult. A bushfire confronts people with complex, dynamic, intense, and in most cases unfamiliar circumstances in which they must make critical decisions for themselves and loved ones, each involving different actions and risks. Because we often see evidence of people delaying evacuation or other key decisions, a common conclusion is that, faced with heat and uncertainty and paralyzed by fear, people wait and see what will happen before taking action. But more recent research suggests that this delay is actually an important part of the decision making process. Rather than procrastinating, people are actively engaged in determining their most appropriate course of action. As fires rarely unfold in the ways that are expected or planned for, the delay in decision making reflects a scheduling or prioritising of action in response to the circumstances rather than waiting due to indecision. So, while we might think the safest approach is for people to make rapid decisions and take immediate action, it seems that evacuation occurs at a time and in a manner determined by people's unique circumstances and state of mind. Further to this is the finding that our attitudes and beliefs about the bushfire threat and the most appropriate ways of responding to it vary widely and delay protective action for differing reasons. Researcher Ken Straughn has been working with the Country Fire Authority in Victoria to develop his research and embed it into bushfire engagement and communication activities. Ken has used cluster analysis to identify seven householder archetypes, that is, characteristics that typify people when it comes to their perceptions of and responses to bushfire threat. These archetypes help us to understand why people act in certain ways and shed light on decision making processes that may otherwise be seen as wait and see. Segmentation is important because people do have quite different attitudes to bushfire and the way they react to bushfire.  I collected the data by sitting on the phone and talking to 457 people in areas that have been affected recently by bushfire. I then went out and spoke to 60 families and just talked to them about their experiences and that helped to fill in and colour in the information I got through the telephone interviews. Once I had the data, I looked at how many people actually said various things and then I did a more sophisticated analysis which broke down the data and then put it back together into groups, which are the seven archetypes. Ken's data suggests that threat deniers believe and wait for confirmation that there is no bushfire threat. Responsibility deniers and dependent evacuators expect others to take responsibility for them, while community-guided interact with other community members before they decide on their protective action. Considered evacuators leave immediately but may delay while they organise dependents and pets and take last-minute actions to protect their home. Experienced independents are committed to remain but if defending their property is unsuccessful, must evacuate late. Worried waiverers want to be sure that they are unable to defend their home before they can justify abandoning it. By shining a light on the rationales and behaviours that underlie people's decisions and actions in bushfires, researchers like Ken have provided the emergency services with new insights that can be used to enhance community engagement and education approaches. The archetypes reveal considerable differences in the way people perceive and respond to bushfire threat, which in turn determine all aspects of their planning, preparation, response and potential recovery. As a result, community education and engagement programs can be designed and tailored to address the diverse needs that result from these varied perceptions and responses. For example, considered evacuators primarily require assistance with planning safe evacuation and finding reliable sources of information about escape routes. While worried waiverers need to test their planning and even more than others establish clear triggers for evacuation. By clearly identifying and defining the needs of people living in bushfire prone areas, community education and engagement programs can be targeted more effectively, address real and specific needs and support people before and during bushfire events. In order to understand the bushfire response archetypes more deeply, we need look no further than your average Australian community. Across the population we'll see a mix of bushfire experience, risk perception, confidence, knowledge and preparedness. We know that these attributes shape people's relationship with bushfire and we also know that people will let this relationship guide their actions in the event of a bushfire. By honing in on each bushfire archetype we can see how this relationship works both before and during bushfire.


Let me tell you a little bit about me. Again, my name is Shannon Birch. I've been in the sales industry for about 15 years, and during that time I've held various roles in the sales industry. I was a sales consultant for about three to four years in the New York Metro area. I was also a sales manager for about three to four years in the New York Metro area as well. During that time I managed a large team of 35 sales consultants, and then I've held various training roles as well. I've been a trainer, a training manager, and a senior trainer as well. During that time frame I've worked on multiple projects. Most of those projects were on product development and launches based around new product launches, mostly. They were large scale projects with high visibility and they were high profile projects as well. I have a good deal of experience in the ins and outs of these types of projects, what makes them successful, and what can cause you to have some failure there as well. And I'll share some of those examples as we go throughout the session. I have a master's degree in theater arts, which I've used in many forms throughout my career in the last 15 years. I like to think of myself as an entertainer, hence why I probably ended up in the training role as well. I reside here in Boston, Massachusetts, and I'm originally from New York. Let's talk about knowing your team. It's an important part of the process in managing a project team. There are several key areas that go into knowing your team. Identifying the elements of the team, such as who are the people that are going to be on the team? How are they going to interact with each other? Are they going to work well together? Are there different things that you're going to have to do to ensure that you have a successful project team? You need to think about these things before you even start the process. Also it's important to think about interaction within a team. So those individuals have different personalities. They're going to work differently together and they're also going to interact as a group differently as well. You may have had experience with some of these individuals before. That will help you to think about this process before you even start managing the project. Some of these individuals may be unfamiliar to you and you may need to get to know them a little bit better. And we're going to talk about some of those things that you can do and how you can make that happen. Communication within a team is a vital part of the process. It's an area where you really have to spend a good deal of time thinking about how are people going to communicate with each other? It seems kind of simple, but actually you really need to think about the methods that you're going to use to communicate with each other. You're going to need to think about when that communication is going to occur. For example, when are meetings going to happen? How frequently? And then you need to also think about who is going to communicate with the customer. A lot of times in companies, they find it's more successful if you allow only one person to have contact with the customer. That one person enables the customer to have one point of contact and it eliminates any confusion. And then you've got to think about identifying standards. So how is quality going to be measured? How are you going to evaluate and measure how well the project is doing? Are you on task? Are you going to meet your goals? Is the project going to be completed on time? Thinking about all of these key areas is a vital part of the process. Knowing your team is going to help you be a successful project manager. Let's talk about identifying the elements of a team. There are two key areas when you think about identifying the elements of a team. There's the team concept and there are the team members. And we're going to talk a little bit about each one of these individually. When you think about the team, you have to realize that all of the people involved in the project, not just the actual team members, are actual elements of the team. They make up for a successful team. So you have the team members. You have the stakeholders. These are the individuals that have a very high interest in the project. And the end result really does affect them more than anybody else. And then the group or the person requesting the project is also an element of the team. Team concept. A team is a group of individuals who work together toward a successful completion of a common goal. The team members in the group can be either effective or ineffective depending on how well they work together. I can tell you that I've had some situations where I've worked on some projects and some people just didn't get along. And a lot of that was due to the fact that the project manager didn't think about the varied skill levels, the differing personalities, and the varied interest of these individuals before going into this project. It's important to think about this. Every person coming to the project brings a certain type of expertise. They also come with a very unique personality and they have different interests that cause them to work in different ways. So it's important to try to think about these things. It's important to try to gain an understanding of who these individuals are and how are they going to work together? Let's take a look. Thinking about this team concept, I was recently assigned to manage a new project and I wanted to understand the history of my team members and I wanted to understand some of the things about them and understand how they were going to interact together. So I had to think about their skill levels, I had to understand their personalities, and unfortunately when I came into this project everybody on the team was pre-selected. So I had really no idea who I was working with. So I did some investigating. Through that investigation I discovered that all the team members on this team actually worked in different departments. Now initially when I found this out, I thought well this could be maybe not such a good thing. I really was hoping that the individuals on this team would be people who were working in the same department possibly and had a previous relationship. But through some initial discoveries I also found out that all of these individuals actually worked together on a previous project and they got along very well with each other. So this was a positive in my discovery in the process of starting to think about managing this team. They were also very effective at reaching their project goals and objectives. And that of course is a positive in this process because if we can be effective in managing our project and getting those goals achieved, that's a huge plus. They also had a good range of experience anywhere from two to 18 years with the company. That was a really good thing for me because if I've got people on the team who have less experience with the company I had a good range of experience where they could rely on the other people who had been more let's say a veteran to the organization and had worked on a lot more projects. So there was a good range of experience there, people that could work together and partner and that was a positive for me as well. Understanding all of these things I now knew that this group of individuals had all of the right components to be a successful and effective team. Let's talk about the team members. In my example, I said that my team members had been predetermined for me. Now team members can absolutely be personally selected. Sometimes the project manager is the one who's selecting the team members. There are other times when the person who actually asked for the project is selecting the members or it's a combination of an effort between those two individuals. When you think about these team members it's important to understand their work habits. It's also important to understand their interaction styles. How do you find this stuff out if you don't have a previous relationship with these individuals? Well, it can be very simple. It might sound like a lot of work to try to get to understand these people but actually you can just simply ask their managers or supervisors. Ask them how they work together. What are their work habits? How do they work with other people? You can also ask those individuals how well these groups that apparently have worked together on projects before have done in terms of working together on the team. You can also, in terms of understanding their interaction styles, you can self-survey the team members. And what I mean by that is you can actually ask them to take a survey. It can be anonymous and talk about how they like to interact with other people. How do they feel that they work on a team? What are their work habits? What are their styles? A lot of these surveys can certainly be pulled off of an online site. You can go and look for a survey and certainly just pull it together. Or you can create your own survey as well. Any way that's gonna help you to glean information from these individuals as well as from people who know these individuals is gonna help you better manage them and have a more successful project team. Let's talk about stakeholders. I mentioned that stakeholders were an important element that makes up the team. A stakeholder is either an individual or a group that has an interest in the team's assigned task or project and benefits from its positive outcome. There are two types of stakeholders. There's the primary or key stakeholder. We typically call this just a primary stakeholder. There's someone who has the most interest in the project and is most affected by the project's positive outcome. And then there's of course a secondary stakeholder. This is someone or possibly a group that has some level of interest in the project and is indirectly affected by some degree to some degree by some of the project's outcome. So you've got to figure out who the stakeholders are. This is important because these individuals or these groups have expectations. They have certain means in which they'd like you to evaluate quality. They have certain milestones they'd like you to achieve in the project. They have certain goals that they want you to achieve with the project. And they wanna make sure that the project's done on time. So it's important to understand who these individuals are before going into a project. Try to meet with these individuals as very important before the first meeting to get an understanding of what their expectations are. How involved do they wanna be in the project? How do they wanna be communicated with? It's very important to think about this because if they only wanna be made aware of things on a monthly basis, then that's what you need to do. They may wanna be involved in all of your weekly meetings. They may not wanna be involved in those meetings. And maybe they just want you to give them a summary via a memo or an email. So you've just got to understand how involved they wanna be and what their expectations are. Because that's gonna help you also to make sure that you mold your expectations, your goals, the means in which you measure quality around the stakeholders as well. Let's talk about a real life example. I was managing a project and we were responsible for implementing and launching a new product. This was a very high profile project. There were a number of stakeholders who had invested interest in the project. It was very important to understand who the primary and secondary stakeholders are. So I began to start to formulate my process and getting ready and preparing for that initial meeting to start the project and to launch this process. I was able to determine that Matt, one of my colleagues that I'd worked with on a previous project was actually the primary stakeholder because he had a direct interest in the outcome of the project. And the secondary stakeholders were made up of project designers, marketing, and sales consultants as they would be working closely with the project team but would not be directly involved in the outcome. The key here was that making sure that I identified all of the elements that make up a successful team and understanding who those stakeholders are is a key part of that process. So when we think about how to identify the elements of a team, we're gonna take a look at the guidelines. In this slide here, you see that there are several guidelines that you can follow to help you to make sure that you identify all the elements of your team. Some of these are understanding the concept of a team, identifying the purpose or the goal for the team. It's important to have a purpose or a goal. It helps the team to understand what are they striving for? What are they working towards? Obtaining relevant information about team members. That's very important. If you don't understand this before going into a project, it's gonna be very difficult to control how people work together and to also be able to anticipate any of those challenging situations. It's important not to prejudge your team members. You're going to get information sometimes from certain individuals who maybe don't have a very good perception of someone. But it's important to ask multiple individuals because lo and behold, if one person tells you that someone was terrible on a project and three other people tell you they were fantastic, chances are you know that it's likely that those two individuals just didn't get along together. So it's important to get a better picture. Again, identify the stakeholders, know who they are, know what their expectations are, and make sure that you communicate that to the team. Determine whether the goals of the primary and the secondary stakeholders are the same. Are they different? Do they have a conflict? It's important to iron all this stuff out before you even start managing this team and start the project. And then envision potential areas of conflict among team members. This is important because if you have dominant personalities on your team and then you have more submissive personalities, you've got to determine how those people are going to work together and who is best to partner on that team. You can control that. So before you even go into the process, you can say that Jane and Tom are going to work together because their personalities best match. Or Thomas and Betsy, they're going to work more effectively together. I'm going to put them on quality control. So just think about these things before you go into it and this is going to help you to make sure that you cover all these elements. And again, make sure that you start this project in a high note and as well as be successful. In this slide, you'll see that there's an assessment activity. I want you to take a moment to look at these questions and jot down some information. Think about your experiences as a team member. Did your team leader play an effective role in facilitating teamwork? What methods have managers used to determine your strengths and interests? In your experience, what has been the cheap source of conflict among team members? How has your team leader dealt with this conflict? In thinking about this type of information, asking yourself these questions and jotting down some information, you'll be able to rely on your experience of being involved in a team. Think about some of the things that actually worked, some of the things that were successful. Also, you'll be able to think about some of the things that didn't work so well. And then this will help you to determine how can you better manage your team in your future projects so that you don't make those mistakes in the future. So take a few moments, jot down some information, and when you're done with this session, refer back to this information and use it to help you with planning.
