Today, seventy years after the J. Edward Moran Municipal Generating Station was commissioned by then Mayor Moran as a coal-fired power plant, and thirty years after that power plant was decommissioned, I am thrilled to be here to announce the completion of phase one of the new Moran frame. The Moran frame, this revived steel superstructure, represents the rebirth of the post-industrial northern waterfront that we've been working on since 2014, and the reclamation of this site on the shores of Lake Champlain is a treasure for Berlintonians and visitors alike to know and enjoy. The Moran frame will stand as a proud symbol of the innovative spirit of this community for generations to come and will serve as a centerpiece for all of the outdoor recreation, community programming, local commerce, food and art happening in this part of the waterfront, which we are calling Water Works Park. The frame, with its preservation of the outline of the former electric plant, will represent the remarkable energy transformation that is underway in this city as we attempt to electrify everything with renewable power. We are also announcing today the creation of a new non-profit called Friends of Frame that is, that's right, Friends of Frame is partnering with the city right now to pilot a series of activation efforts, and we're going to get a taste of that today and it's going to continue during highlight of New Year's and then into the spring and summer. We'll hear more about this effort from Zach Campbell who is, this is really his, his concept, his idea. It's a really exciting idea that is grounded in successes that other communities have seen where, such as Friends of the High Line in New York City and many other parks facilities around the country where an independent non-profit can inject all sorts of energy and resources into the programming and evolution of public spaces. So we'll hear more about that from Zach in a moment, and we're out and we're here from a couple other speakers as well, Doreen Kraft, our director of the Burlington City Arts and someone who has really been with this city and seen this building evolve and all the, seen all the plans and efforts for this part of the waterfront over the years, and we'll hear from Jesse Beck, principal at Freeman French Freeman, which has been our architect partner through the years of getting to today. I want to thank and recognize a number of other people before we hear from the other speakers though, and I'm not going to capture everyone. This is a little bit of a reunion I feel like looking around to see so many people who have worked on this project over the years and in current months. So let me just call out a few people. It's great to see old friend and both General Manager of the Burlington, the former General Manager of the Burlington Electric Department and former director of CEDO, Neal Lunderville here. Neal was really crucial in the early months as we shifted away from other visions of this building to the frame concept. Neal had a huge, huge role in that conception. I see also from that period, Kirsten Merriman Shapiro is here with us. Kirsten has worked for CEDO for, I believe, over 20 years and was, or approximately 20. And you can see her stamp on so much that's around us. I want to recognize current CEDO director, Brian Pine, who also has worked on this project through the years and a variety of capacities and played a key role in getting us to today. And Samantha Dunn, who is our Assistant Director for Community Works. And really, since she joined us about a year ago, has really taken on this project and moved it forward. She took over from Grace Sifo, who was our first Assistant Director for Community Works, who's also here with us today. So thankful for the work that all of you put into this. I want to, I think we have some other members of the design and development team here as well today. If you could raise your hand and make sure, I see Kurt Muller from, who's been our environmental consultant with some of the big, we couldn't have gotten here without addressing the environmental issues on the site. DW has been our construction partner through this and really unique and unusual project and has been a great partner, even as we were struggling through the early months of the pandemic and trying to figure out how do you do a construction project while you're also battling a global pandemic. Very thankful for your help.  All right. Well, I do want to recognize Alex Halperin, who has been a really committed to this project for years. Sorry, he can't be with us today, but thank you. I'm glad that you're able to, Jesse, representing the firm. So with that, I think, you know, I will just call out to, it's great to have the current General Manager of the Brent Elections of our Brent Daren Springer here as well. You know, there's such, there will always be this connection between BED and this site in that, again, this served as this really unique facility that was both a coal burning plant and then helped us pioneer our biomass effort before we built a new facility over in the interval for it. And it is a really important part of the Burlington's history, an important part of our current moment that we are moving towards becoming a net zero city. And it will always be an exciting part of this project, that link to the electric past. So with that, I think the first person we're here from is Doreen Kraft. Thank you. Thanks, Maril.  Like, you know, it was in the 70s that we had an international symposium of sculptors that came from all over the world and used this facility as a backdrop for the creation of new work. And there's been, as you remember, a lot of opposition. There were people who were screaming, tear this down, tear this down. And it was a really rough period of time as to whether or not this extraordinary landmark and monument would be saved. And so I feel so proud today, you know, and I've been up on the top floor when it was there with a bunch of architects looking out over the city and talking about all the things that this could become. So it's really, it holds so much of our history here in Burlington. And yeah, so just happy to be at this point in the history. So today, I think marks the transitioning of this space from the unsustainable energy of coal to the cleanest, most renewable energy that there is creativity from generating pollution to generating beauty and wonder. The frame is a monument to thinking beyond the traditional parameters of public space. It's our community canvas upon which generations of Burlingtonians can represent any idea imaginable today and for years to come. From the lake, the mountains, the culture, the music, and yes, the ice cream, we are a small city with big icons. And this stunning work is now among them. BCA and our partners in the city are committed to the idea that public art contributes to a city's well-being in so many countless ways. From inspiring ideas and reflection and beautifying public spaces to supporting local artists financially and helping to draw businesses and the creative community that values culture and the arts. We look forward to working with friends of frame and with lots of local artists and promoters to bring this wonderful, unique, and lasting work of art to life. Thank you. Well, congratulations to everybody. The Marianne Journey has been a really long one with many hands shaping its future along the way. I'm Jesse Beck and for FFF it started 32 years ago. We were hired by CEDO, then led by a very young Michael Monty. I don't know where he is, he's not here. And a group called BEAM led by Carol Stewart. Since then there's been many valiant runs at repurposing this iconic structure both by ourselves and many, many others. Many minds and hearts have touched this building during this journey and it truly has been a community effort to achieve what you see today. On behalf of FFF, our consultants and partners, I'd like to thank the mayor for his very active role in shaping this project. CEDO and the friends of frame are going to be great for their enthusiasm and dedication to keeping this going and the parks department and parks foundation who will continue to keep this evolving and active public space. Finally, I hope you all enjoy the design features of this historic place including the visible light features only at night. So come on back when it gets dark and you'll be amazed at what you see. Through creative design and architectural detailing, this community has preserved a unique landmark that makes our waterfront a memorial experience. Thank you. Hi everyone, thank you for being here today to celebrate this convergence of the Moran plant's history and its future as the frame. The Moran plant has always had a unique way about it, giving rise to an intangible yet undeniable impression on the human experience when one is in its presence, an experience at once familiar and uncharted. It's well known that over the years those many individual experiences rarely seem to manifest in feelings of indifference towards the Moran plant with strong contingents both for and against a new vision for the bygone behemoth. My name is Zach Campbell and I founded Friends of the Frame on the belief that in its next chapter, this amazing place, a former power plant, could be a source of empowerment for the community to which it belongs. The striking red steel superstructure becomes a literal framework for creative expression to unfold within, beneath, and around. Simultaneously a gallery and a park, a stage and a shelter, a playground and a market, an ever-evolving public space where art, nature, and connection can inspire us to open our minds and hearts to new perspectives while perhaps learning something new about ourselves as well. As we stand here now at the threshold of this next era, I want to invite and welcome everyone to be a friend of the frame, to actively participate in shaping the future of this special place and whatever way holds meaning for you. The structure of Friends of the Frame is intended to be an ever-widening circle, an inclusive, engaged, collective of contributors who believe in the potential of this extraordinary space to impact people's lives for the better. One person who embodies that spirit is Lauren Larkin, who's here today, despite the chilly November weather, to present a preview of her aerial healing arts hammock stations, which will be popping up at the frame throughout the spring, summer, and fall of next year. Please head over to experience the hammocks for yourself after the ribbon cutting. They are not to be missed. Friends of the Frame has also partnered with Burlington-based artist and designer Jasmine Parcia and local photographer Katie Palatucci to produce two original posters for today's event. These two designs each reference the past, present, and future of the Moran plant and the frame in their own distinctive ways, while providing a compelling glimpse into the breadth and depth of talent within our local creative community. We're pleased to offer prints of both posters to everyone in attendance today to take home and enjoy as a thank you for your continued support of the Frame. You may notice as you explore the space today, and I hope you all do after the ceremony is concluded, there are a couple hanging bench swings on the lake side of the Frame. These swings were designed and fabricated in collaboration with the awesome team at Generator, and they turned out beautifully. Friends of the Frame is currently in the midst of its first crowdfunding campaign on patronicity to bring additional activations, art, and public amenities to the Frame. If we reach our crowdfunding goal of $20,000 by December 15th, we'll receive an additional $40,000 matching grant from Vermont's Better Places program. If we're successful, we'll be able to bring additional swings to the Frame, including two ADA compliant wheelchair accessible swings that will be designed and fabricated by the faculty and students at Generator. Over the next several months, you'll be seeing and hearing about many more exciting installations, events, and partnerships that are currently in the works. But more importantly, we want to hear from you. What do you want to see or do at the Frame? What can we do to make the Frame more accessible, inclusive, or inviting? Do you have an idea for a project or performance? Do you have a suggestion for further democratizing the decision-making process around public programming? The Friends of the Frame model thrives on participation, and we are actively working on some really cool ways to make participating super easy and fun. Right now, the best way to get involved or informed is to visit the Frame's website, theframebtv.org, and follow the Frame on social media at theframe.btv. My ultimate hope for the Frame is that it never loses that intangible sense of possibility and promise that eventually led us to this very moment, and that for decades captured the hearts and imaginations of countless dreamers, inspiring bold ideas, and bringing people together in substantive, meaningful ways. That is the true energy future of this power plant, and when that energy can be harnessed into action, there is almost no limit to its potential. Thank you all, and welcome to the Frame. Well, that was great, Zach. Thank you for sharing that. Very exciting. The initiative is now underway. As we do move out of this construction phase into having a facility that's fully open to the public, this is becoming a parks facility. I want to recognize the Parks Recreation and Waterfront team that is here as well, and for all that they have done to contribute to getting today, and they will do well forward. Because it is going to be a parks facility, we are expecting to partner with the Parks Foundation on future investments and phases of the Frame's future. I see past Parks Foundation member John Bossage with us, and current member Paul Odie, thank you, and the rest of the Foundation for being here as well. And Brooke Gelman is here as well. I didn't see you back there, Brooke, in the hat and glasses.

She's trying to jump. Oh my god. Don't do it. Natasha. I'm trying to save your life I guess the type of love they have for each other is strong enough. I guess it doesn't have to be like an intimate They're besties. Yeah Don't do it. Tell my family I love them. Oh my gosh. No way Oh my god They're both about to fall I'm so tired of seeing that. I'm speechless guys.  That's an og one right there. I know I hope we don't need to choke nobody with our legs Just like Thanos man. He's gonna have it. Oh my gosh I Significantly different reaction than when Thanos got it. I know that man was like bathing in that bang chillin Do we get them all? Are you telling me this actually work? Clint, where's net? The old Hulk wouldn't have been able to handle that Do we know if she's dead? We have the stones right?  Can't get her back Sorry, no no offense, but you're very earthly being okay. We're talking about space magic Yeah, look, I know that I'm way outside my my pig right here, but she stills in here and she can't be undone That's at least what the red floating guy had to say.  He might give us an Avengers movie Oh, wow. Yeah, I forgot they were a thing. She's not coming back. We have to make it worth it We will You see that baby Jarvis? Oh, wow. He's got a lot of them. What?  I'm the strongest Avenger But this responsibility falls upon me. It's it's my duty. It's not that it's nice Nah, I falls upon Tony Stark. The Hulk is remember. He's the strongest Avenger. Let me do something good It's not just the fact that that glove is channeling that for energy to light up a continent I'm telling you you're in no condition. What do you think is coursing through my veins right now and lightening? Yeah, lighten one up your pal gotta be me Stones to the Thanos, none of you could survive. How do we know you will? We don't but the radiation is mostly gamma. So it probably does have to be the whole I was made for this. Yeah, that kind of sucks, but it could be true That's kind of crazy how calculated it really was Nebula is something's wrong with her, right? Because Thanos had let's do it. Everyone Thanos snapped away five years ago We're just bringing them back to now today. Don't change anything from the last five years I was gonna put his hand in that right.

Did it seem like Laura was going? You think she came out that fast? Let's go. Answer it So it worked, but then that happens, right? I mean, yeah, I guess it worked, right? Canopy canopy canopy Dang you'd imagine that wouldn't be too heavy for the Hulk. Are they still on there?  Look at that. That'd be so scary if you looked up and saw that This is the future.  He's got a nice whip though In the future what happens to you and me?  You know maybe but it looks like the Gamora from this timeline could make her way into the new timeline So like Gamora died, but not this versioner. Maybe the time trial was confusing guys like you get into a lot of paradoxes You mess with time it tends to mess back. What's it been doing? Absolutely nothing. Where are the stones? All I know is he doesn't have them so we keep it that way. You know it's a trap, right? Yeah Just as long as we're all in agreement He's fat, but don't forget about him. He's got a thunder y'all. Oh, and he got a ponytail.  Basically. Yeah bring you back to me Thought by eliminating half of life the other half of thrive, but you've shown me that's impossible You don't think as long as there are those that remember what was there will always be those that are unable to accept What can be yep?

Oh my gosh I bet he was a good husband too because bro. He went through a lot to get there. Mm-hmm. No, this is not over Oh, that's how you make a movie So does that mean all the og's are gone the Hulk's injured Ironman died caps old Natasha's out. I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack, bro They couldn't have made the ending of that better. Yeah, they could have made if Tony Stark didn't die What a name Benedict Cumberpatch I wonder if she was related to the Russo brothers You know when Dr. Portal opened up the string uh the portal babe or Dr. Strange opened up the portal I should say sorry and when Chadwick Boseman came through you could see it in his face that he was like losing weight and stuff Wasn't it kind of ironic two people were named Benedict though? Like what's the odds? I don't even know one Benedict It's like a really dope tribute to the cast I you know, I understand why there was like a finality to this movie because like the og's are out right In my opinion that was Vin Diesel's best role But I'm probably gonna get stabbed for that Okay, that was dope. That was sick. I can't believe she died too, man.  Oh wow, this is cool I can't Oh, baby It's very wet Oh my gosh, you don't understand, babe. I just simply left my phone under the couch needed to go get it Okay, guys, so that was an interesting game. That was crazy. That was insane. We think are you about to cry? No, absolutely not I would never what a movie. No, that yeah, they get a little choked up guys. That was a vendor's in game. Uh, wow um What What do we even say? What do we say? All right, how do you top that? What do we do now? I know we have to say our favorites But I just want to say like what a movie like from start to finish it was captivating It was great the callbacks were so nostalgic Like but the end like we're all of the people that we've just like spent like 23 weeks like in a row Getting emotional maybe you want me to go? Yeah. All right guys, so I think what mrs. October is trying to say is We spent so much time getting to know these characters hearing about how these characters were Meaningful to so many people, you know, like I mean so many stories guys everything from you know When I was going through a hard time my husband got me a captain america You know plushie stuffed animal and you know, it was just a someone saying my dad died of cancer I mean my mom died of cancer the same age star lord was like I guess all the months of just building up to it and just seeing a performance is so hard to even talk about the actual Movie Jesus I said it in the last avengers movie the last maybe hour to 45 minutes of that movie was just was just I mean, it's as good as it's as good as it could possibly get I mean very few times in life the things come together like that and I just feel very I guess really just lucky and blessed that we got to experience these movies, man I'm just glad I haven't came across a man because I could have ruined this whole experience by seeing these movies Because if I would have seen the first Iron Man, I'm pretty sure I'd have ended up watching all these movies And I'm just glad that I got to experience with you guys that was bananas that was nuts I didn't really see them You know, I was we were developing our theories right and let me know when you're ready to talk to me I know you feel a little emotional and overwhelmed We were coming up with our theories and we were thinking okay Well, they know snapped his fingers and then you know, he ran off So we were thinking they would go and somehow like Still the time stone and go back in time and fix it or something like that And so we were kind of close on our theory But I didn't see them using like quantum time travel like moving in and out of the quantum realm to do it That was insane of the way all the Avengers came together through the portals with Dr. Strange You can make marvels for 50 years guys like you're not gonna get a better shot in the cinematic universe Hands down to me um probably the greatest moment in marvel I don't I don't even know what to say man This movie was incredible the acting was incredible from the first scene of this movie with Hanging out with his family hanging out with his daughters and then them just disappearing totally caught me off guard The movie played it out and drug it out, right? So they didn't give you time to like They really got you sucked in so like the happiness of the film and I don't know man I don't really know what to say about it. It was just pretty incredible. So I just want to start by saying like thank you guys so much for supporting us through this But all of you guys who have watched it from the start when it came out in 2008 You went into the theaters. You did that for 11 years, right? 11 because 2008 to 2019 So you got all these experiences in between you probably had like a bunch of life changes We did it in 23 short weeks, but I can't imagine you guys like how different it must feel for y'all But i'm telling you this was a unique experience and I wouldn't have changed it any other way We got all this insight from you guys and you guys didn't spoil a thing and that is Yeah, you guys are the ghosts man the best community hands down you guys I love you guys there's a couple really awesome communities for sure I mean, you know like you guys didn't spoil a thing, right? You guys have just been so awesome in that way Like you guys have been so willing to just teach and explain and to be patient because you know You know me man. I miss a lot, you know, so you guys just been awesome in that way They really have but like to get to know these characters like you guys got to know them for those 11 years And i'm sure even more if you read the comics But for us like reading like just editing seeing them over and over It made us like like them a lot love them almost and to just see all that just crumble away and one movie hurts like Yeah, I feel really sick right now. So that's why I was like it's hard not to talk about it But my favorite was Tony Stark. I'm gonna go ahead and say that now. He's my favorite He's the hero and he's my favorite character and I'm gonna admit that now I think we've said it before but you know guys like with this being part of like our youtube channel We're growing we've thought about these characters every day like every day We've had a conversation about marvel and that's not exaggeration guys There's not been one day since we since we first reacted to iron man. There's not been one day this went by there's not been one Dinner conversation where we had we haven't mentioned a marvel movie talked about a character talked about a movie a prediction A comment about it. My names have been our lives We've been really really really involved with this series and even though we're saying in the beginning the series isn't over There's still a lot of content to do and you know, there's space for this movie sort of felt like it had some type of Finality to it and like mrs. October said Perfectly it hurts. It really hurts because it feels like you know, I can't imagine how you guys feel like she was saying you grow up with these Characters, you know, you grew up, you know loving Tony Stark you spend 11 of you 11 years of your life You know, maybe like wearing the t-shirt or you know Just appreciating the movies or just whatever the case may be right this happens and this you know I can I can empathize with how you guys would feel about that the feeling that you feel I just want you to know like, you know, I don't know how you guys feel exactly But I'm pretty sure the gut-wrenching feeling you have is what I'm experiencing also So we have a different way of feeling it because we we did we got to like these characters in a shorter amount of time But trust me we got to know them very well very well and they they're gonna always hold a place in our heart um The series always is um, it was amazing like I'm so glad we did this I would have never in my life watch superhero movies just because like, I don't know guys I don't really know how to put it. I just wouldn't I wouldn't watch them because I think it was overwhelming You're just a girl. I mean to all the females out there who love marvel and who love comic books This isn't in any type of way negative like we don't mean this in a negative way, but this October You're just a girly girl. I mean you're just a girly girl who likes girly things and maybe this wasn't your cup of tea Maybe you were just closed-minded because of your because you were a girl Well, and like when iron man came out I was like in high school So like I don't it wasn't like on my go-to. I'm not like I'm gonna go watch iron man That just wasn't what I was doing and then I went to college and I wasn't gonna go watch those movies And then by that time when you're like into the 12th movie, you're not just gonna watch the 12th movie You have to go all the way to the beginning and I and then you have to like watch an old movie in a way so and so this unique experience of Doing this like in front of people which was like bizarre. I never would have thought that but it's cool Like I loved it. I think the storyline was amazing The movie was amazing Like I said man going back to get all the infinity stones and there's certain particular points in time So that way that you could go before the time came where they know snapped his fingers to defeat him before he can even Know that you're basically at war with him really incredible Uh, really good job by the Hulk gathering that thing up. He sacrificed also, but ultimately man They were able to bring it they were there was able to bring everyone back ultimately and it just worked You know, I don't really know how much I can say about the movie. I mean the movie was you have to say your favorite Yeah, I'll say that I'm just saying like in terms of the movie the movie was pretty straightforward It was like one of the most it was one of the most simple movies We've actually seen in the marvel universe Actually, uh a lot of them have been really complex and a lot was happening and a lot was you know Happening here and happening there and they were branching off and we knew they were all going to come meet But I guess everything sort of came to a head in this movie. It was very easy to follow It did have a smooth way of doing it. Yeah, it was very easy to follow and understand Which the ruso brothers have they did a great job throughout the series Right And so really I guess when you break this movie down instead of talking more about the exes and those of the Meet and balls of the movie you really just have to talk about I guess really like the emotional impact of the movie I thought captain america given the falcon his shield was a beautiful sentiment I mean that's somebody who's been with him has been loyal to him There's someone that he can trust and he just seemed right for it To me the most beautiful part of the movie hands down was captain america got to go back in time and spend his life with Miss peggy and you know, I never saw that comment I thought that was the most track. I thought that was the most tragic story in this whole entire Universe and to see that written Correct was it was almost worth, you know, it was just a really great way to balance out the bitter reality It's only starting not being in this universe anymore. And so it was just a beautiful movie guys I mean we could go on and on about this movie one of the best I've ever seen 100% When we watched the Lord of the Rings that movie was incredible, but I've never ever in my life, you know I've said it before let me just I'm sorry. I'm ranting. That's why I've said it before guys I like tv shows more and I've said it a hundred times at this point I've seen a lot more tv shows in movies like significantly more I don't really watch movies a tv show will build you up and build you up and build you up And then when it's finally over you really feel invested into it in a way, right? And I felt that way a lot with Lord of the Rings But man, I've never watched a movie that I've been more invested in I'll put it that way So it's been a really long build up. Thank you guys so much for the support You guys really are, you know, one of the greatest communities out there. You guys know that I'm sure So thank you guys so much for just being awesome supporting it. We got a lot more to go That was awesome. We'll be Overminded with these though because I know a lot of you like I like to drop the negativity about it But you know how we are we find light in everything my favorite character I didn't even say so my favorite character, you know after that is it's I don't want to be prisoner of the moment and be emotional and Say Tony Stark, but it's really hard not to like Tony Stark and he's definitely like a 1a. Um You know man, I might just have to go cap. I really might have to go captain America He might be my favorite character in the whole entire series I could go on and on about it forever and in the future I'll probably do that But I just think that's a good choice. I just think at the end of the day cap Just had his head on his shoulders the straightest for the most amount of time And at the end of the day, he seemed to be the play caller Tony Stark seemed to be the hero But captain America seemed to be the captain obviously and yeah, just liked him a lot But it's it's like, you know, man, like which one of your kids is your favorite? You know, you love them all so I can see though Why they would get rid of those characters kind of so to say because that's 11 years of their life You know what I'm saying? Yeah, absolutely.   Like because you know, they're like some old people in some suit So like no, they're not gonna be like that they have to move on eventually Yeah, I understand that but you know, the movie can have a way of like retiring the character And then leaving an opportunity for them to like come back in the future Like, you know, Thor could come back 15 years from now and there could be like a new Thor And he could be the new, you know wise King who once ran around with his hammer and smacked things up You know, he could be the one playing the Odin role But that's hard to do if you kill them off like they're just 20 stars so But I mean, yeah, definitely man, all eras have to come to an end There always has to be room for like the new generation to come up But I'm definitely feeling the end of an era man. I'm sad I'm sad too. I feel like we got broken up with it'll just never be the same. No, really It really won't be I mean, I'll never be the same because if you think about it These are like the og films and if you think about it in like 20 years when our kids have kids They might have a captain america like re-release on like, you know, probably in like another form Yeah, man, and you know the you just said that and it made me want to throw up I can't even imagine replacing these characters if they would have done such an incredible job on screen Then I could you know, I could see it But if you ever attempt to remake an Avengers movie, you're gonna fail You cannot you cannot make a better movie than this I mean unless unless the aspect ratio and the visuals and the and the bit qualities of tv's are just so far advanced 20 years from now Yeah, like if we can smell the swarm of exactly like yeah, then maybe it'll be great Right, but there's just no way you could ever try to replicate But then again, man, they always do and then the new generation just moves on and that's just how it works So just a timeless movie Um, I'm sure so many of you guys feel the same way, but this was genuinely this was just one of the greatest experiences You know of life. I mean this was one of the great, you know in terms of like cinema and entertainment and you know art and things like that I mean, this was genuinely this might sound jacked. I'm saying there's a there's there's wonders of the world that I would Pass on seeing before I'd give up seeing this Avengers movie. We just watched it was that good So it was good. And it was so we're seeing I can't believe I missed it my whole life Like absolutely and you know, I've had so much fun because I've got to sit in this seat with my best friend in life And watch our last time in this room right here. Yeah, that's another thing guys. This is our last Yeah, this is our last time recording in this room. We're moving. So like we said before man This is all fake behind us. It's just decoration on the wall our house is basically empty Like what you see is what we got left and we're gonna be out this house and we're gonna say goodbye to it Just like we're saying goodbye to this phase. Well, we got one more movie But just finality everywhere for you know, the October So I'm basically prolonging this video at this point guys because I genuinely am just sad to end it Once we end it it's it's over. So yeah, Jesus guys I love you guys. Thank you all so much for sharing that with us. I hate you guys because now I feel very depressed Comment your favorite character below. Let us know and let us know also in the comments if you want to When did you guys find us? What movie was it? Yeah, that's really cool I mean, that'd be really interesting though. And you know, like I said guys We understand how important this series is so many people It is something that I genuinely didn't know when we first started making youtube videos I was a lot dumber than I am now but You know, if I didn't like something I would just trash it and I have a bad habit of that But I do try to understand that things are really important and mean things to people We did our best to commentate over these movies. You know, we did the best we could do So, you know, these are some of the first movies we ever done on our channel We're you know, we're learning we're getting better more experienced than you know I just hope we've done these movies justice because they they've done a lot for us They mean a lot to me and I just hope if you guys decide to watch these videos and you know Three years from now. I just hope you all look back and just hope that we did them a little bit of justice because They were incredible. All right Yes, as always it's been the outtubers. Thank you guys so much for hanging out Bye


You're on hello everybody. How are you? I'm Kristen lands, and I'm a member of team practices group here at the media foundation And I will be talking to you today about this notion of Team health there we go team health. What is it and what the team practices group is doing to help teams learn about and improve their overall health and also what we're seeing as trends across the team so my goals for this talk are for you to understand the health check philosophy and the process that we use to Gauge team health share what we've learned so far and also hear what you think I'll leave time at the end for questions and discussion Also hello to all the non SF people out there. I'm usually remote So it's nice to be on the other side of the camera So how many of you know what the team practices group is quick show of hands? All right, quite a few people and there's two members in the audience anyone from IRC. I can't see so I don't know But I'll assume a few so anyway just in short the team practices group is a Team here and we exist to help teams find practices and processes that work for them either through Dedicated resourcing so for example I'm a member of the mobile web and app team here as well as a member of the team practices group We also offer coaching to people who are just interested in learning a bit more about specific processes And also workshops by request for teams that might want to hone in Improve the things they're doing or even kick off new processes and practices We're also doing some org level stuff We've been involved in streamlining the quarterly goal setting process And we do some not just team level stuff But cross-cutting stuff like these team health checks that we talking about today clicker issue. Sorry. Thank you So just to be clear Team health I'm not a doctor. I'm not going around taking people's blood pressure What the team practices group is talking about when we talk about team health is actually a Set of qualities that it's a it's a range of different focus areas that make up a healthy team So Process First actually before I dive into the process Why do we even care about team health a core belief of the team practices group is that Healthy teams build better products so And it's not like we're making widgets here or whatever We have like really awesome products to make in a seriously awesome mission to fulfill So we want to make sure we have the healthiest happiest Most effective teams that we can have And I want to pull the thread on that a little bit too and say that Great organizations care about healthy teams I'm grateful every day to be able to work with the teams here and Do the type of work that we do in helping them reflect on processes and practices and Just their overall health and I think it it speaks to our leadership and to the values of the organization that We make time to reflect on how to be better and how to have healthier teams so the way that we start to learn about team health is through a Team health check survey so We kick this process off September of last year and this was really our pilot survey to Explore like is this idea even sound does it make sense? We just started with a handful of teams. There are Five teams and the idea was to do this health check with teams at or around the quarterly boundary And it's in a survey format That's the actual team health check that we use We shamelessly stole this survey from Spotify They've been doing this for a few years at least But we tweaked the survey in these focus areas Oh, there we go The examples to be appropriate to our culture here at WMF and to make sense for The things we care about Mike switch Jack Jack Okay, that one was this is better good. Good. Okay Where was I we stole a survey from Spotify? We tweaked it This is the survey you can see our focus areas over here and we include examples of awesomeness in these areas and crappiness in these areas and We have a rating scale the original scale was ranging from crappy to awesome So it was three points crappy meh and awesome It's evolved since then so the way that the survey is administered is Really important part of the process It's a group conversation So we don't give individuals this survey and they go and fill it out It's a team conversation with a member of the team practices group and we go through each of these focus areas team health focus areas and Converge on one rating So this is a really important part of this exercise getting to that single rating Raises a lot of really interesting information and a lot of questions come up and maybe even surprising things Like I didn't know you felt that way about food quality. So Given that a big part of these health check surveys are also Taking contextual notes as we go through the process. So we have Pages and pages of notes from the health check surveys that really inform Where the team was at at that point in time and helps Helps us to unpack like what they were talking about when they said that their Sense of value was mediocre for example And another nice part of this process is that it builds a lot of trust in the teams So we don't always get a chance to reflect on what we're doing in the course of doing business throughout the quarter from sprint to sprint from release to release and It's nice to be able to pause and talk through some of these things Sometimes it can be a little awkward or uncomfortable or even dare I say emotional But all of that builds trust and and helps the teams to Learn how to communicate honestly and openly with each other So we piloted that first version of the survey in Q1 we got a ton of feedback on How it went integrated that back into the process in the survey rolled out our second version in January and We just wrapped up our third version a couple weeks ago. So quarterly process We improve every quarter One important caveat before I dive into what we've learned is This survey is not meant to be an indicator of a team's performance. So it can be a Temptation to look at a team That rates themselves as crappy and say they're underperforming relative to another team But this isn't an apples to apples team. It's a qualitative assessment of each team's Sense of how they're doing. So there's a lot of reasons why one team could rate themselves crappy in one area One man's crappy may be another man's awesome So it's important to keep the context in mind and to know that these can't be side-by-side comparisons so what have we learned from Learn from the team health check process. I See it as there's three dimensions of learning We've learned a lot about the survey in the process We've learned a lot from individual teams and the teams are learning a lot about themselves And we've learned about some patterns and trends across engineering So what have we learned about the survey in the process? We learned about the timing and the pace so We've tried an hour. We've tried two hours. We've landed on about 90 minutes. That's about the right thing It's a bonus if we can get in a short retrospective at the end of the survey It's tricky to have meaningful conversation around these 11 focus areas in a time constrained environment, but 90 minutes is okay for that one thing we're going to try going forward is to change the sequencing of the survey areas So there's not so much context switching. So we might be talking about fun One moment and then jump to code quality. It's a little well It might not be a shift for some people. Some people think code quality is really fun but to group things together in a way where There's more of a natural flow and not in less context switching We learned a lot about the focus areas themselves and the examples we use so We got some feedback that some of them were confusing. So we tuned up the language there for example I think one of our original focus areas was speed We we changed that to pace because speed gave people like this impression of we have to always be racing and like killing ourselves and getting to the destination and Speed in and of itself isn't always a virtue. Sometimes it's more important to slow down so we changed speed to pace to give more of a to frame that focus area as We want teams to have the appropriate pace not necessarily be super speedy We learned a lot about the rating scale. We started off with three points People kept over a couple rounds of this Hacking that scale and saying, oh, this is like crappy plus or awesome minus So we gave in and made that a five point scale. I think where we're heading with it is one to five That seems to be what people want and this Word became controversial. This was the middle anchor in our scale for a while, but there was a sense that it wasn't That that it didn't convey the right thing to people it kind of gave the sense of I Don't care. I don't know. It had some negative Negative responses to it. So we changed meh to mediocre Again, the context is incredibly important not just for understanding individual ratings better But from quarter to quarter, it's great for teams to be able to look back on their notes and See where they were. It's like a snapshot of the previous quarter And it helps them kind of connect the dots to how they got to where they were in that current quarter We learned a bit about scheduling of these surveys We've tried for the quarterly boundary and after I think in the organization that we're in it makes sense to do it after the quarter ends we had an experience this time around of People saying I would have rated our value high But we didn't have a chance to release yet because we're not releasing till the end of the quarter so I think we nailed that we also want to turn around our survey results a little quicker and Communicate them back out to the teams and to the team stakeholders One of the biggest lessons we learned from the first round of the survey was and we learned this from like really bombing one of these surveys and Sort of failing it failed for a few reasons, but the big one was not establishing the right expectations at the outset of What the purpose of this thing was for when you get into reflecting like this Sometimes it can feel like finger-pointing or blaming so it's just really important to establish that this is a tool for learning And not for blaming so we've changed how we frame this going forward and most importantly We established that this practice and this process of measuring team health is valuable to the teams Through feedback from the teams and from the people that support them Which is good because if it wasn't valuable we'd just stop doing it so What have we learned on the individual team front? I don't have time to go through Every teams results right now. We're up to 11 teams that have taken the health check survey How many people here on the hangout or IRC have taken the health check survey? All right For So, yeah All these results are available on office wiki. You can Go check them out right now. They are not public yet. We're still working out How we want to present this info And it's important to note again that The individual Survey results are not the whole story and textual notes are available You can talk to the individual visual teams if you have questions about how they rated themselves But it's important to remember that that isn't the entire picture These are the teams that have participated so far in the team health checks and Analytics research and community liaisons are bolded because they are actually not purely engineering teams So we're expanding this process out beyond engineering once again the caveat So The moment we've been waiting for what have we learned? What is the state of team health across engineering? Sounds so dramatic the state of the Union Spoiler alert. There is no definitive state of team health across engineering, but I will present some patterns and trends that we found A warning we're about to see some very colorful slides So these are the rolled up results from our first round of team health checks So we averaged Across the teams and came up with a single single rating across the teams So what do people notice? Here Anything stick out? Lots of yellow things were feeling kind of mad Q1 Support was red So people were feeling pretty crappy About support so we rolled up these results and we also pulled out some of the salient points from the notes from the contextual notes that we took so teams are Feeling difficulty in escalating problems. They felt like they were always waiting Too many external dependencies things could go forward Anything else that we notice? Mission fun and learning are looking pretty awesome Does that sound like WMF? So that was our proof of concept initial Survey Ultimately, it was just four teams represented here. Oh, that's a different view. I told you it was colorful So our second round we doubled the amount of teams that was nine teams So things look a little bit different here What do we notice? That's different here. No red more green some more awesome More teams giving input Anything else? Yeah, so again, we rolled up the results came up with an overall rating and Hold out some Some trends and highlights that we observed different view of that so After the second round of doing these health checks We really wanted to you know, keep keep the learning inside the teams but also Pick out what we saw as trends across teams so the big ones that came out for from not just the ratings themselves but from the notes were tech debt and Cross-team dependencies were the big pain points so This is where those contextual notes came in super handy again because these were both meh yellow in the survey results But as we looked through the notes, we noticed that tech that was impacting Value is impacting speed. It was like hitting all these different areas same with cross-team dependencies So here's another visualization of All of these results. So I anonymized this and jumbled up the data. This isn't even real data I just wanted to show an example of How another way that we can visualize the trends across teams so you get that horizontal view You can see what's happening across a focus area and then you can look In the columns and see how the teams are feeling about themselves Team nine is feeling pretty darn good about themselves so we looked at these trends across these nine teams and And asked ourselves, okay, what do we want to do about these? So our plan was Team practices group. That's TPG Was going to take ownership of improving the situation around tech debt Cross-team dependencies we wanted to present to engineering management to see if they would take ownership of Helping out helping resolve some of those issues oops sneak preview So team practices group has met with release a subgroup of the release engineering team to talk about what we can do to improve the state of code overall across themes and came up with a provisional plan Plan of attack to Gather a tiger team of people who really care about code quality test coverage to to try to come up with some solutions To ease tech debt and standardize on some practices share practices and try to take Try to ease the pain on this one of it Arthur who's not here and he's in the Mojave desert has bubbled up the cross-team dependencies stuff to engineering management and I don't have a latest update on how that's going But I heard the conversations were going well and there's some ideas out there about how to ease this pain So I mentioned that we just finished up our latest round of health check surveys and this is My interpretation I haven't had a chance to Go over this with the team practices group but From round three and this is probably not terribly surprising, but the things that are coming out in this past quarter are kind of a hit decrease on on how people are feeling about mission and goals and destiny so in light of our Organizational changes reorg stuff I think people are just wondering How do our team bowls aligned with the organization goals? They are wondering that like several teams ask that very question People are worried about their autonomy. There's this call to action. Sounds exciting. But what does it mean for me? What does it mean for my team and how I work? People mentioned a looming reorg and there's generally a great hunger for clarity about this stuff So what's next for the health check survey? We're going to keep adapting and iterating. We keep getting feedback from the people that take the survey We're going to include more teams including more teams outside of engineering We want to continue to measure our effectiveness. So So far this has come in the form of direct feedback from teams through retrospectives and from managers But we want to want to keep honing in on how effective we are and Think of the best ways to measure that and we want to I think obviously we want to evolve this. So are there other Ways of measuring team health that we could think about are there complementary things we could do for example I've been talking to some people about Maybe doing more like of a team 360 talking to teams you collaborate with and getting their input and their thoughts on their perspective on what your team does and Yeah, what's next for team practices group? This is our good friend. Okay our objective key results This is our objective for next quarter and it's not directly related to team health checks, but Our goal is to develop repeatable best practices for engineering teams and It's sort of like a almost like a menu of practices that people can look at where we describe the best practices that have worked well for people here and We could certainly feed this back into the feedback we get from health check surveys so the challenges that I see us facing is Continuing to identify the best strategic interventions for People that support the teams and for the team practices group So what's going to get us the most bang for the buck? What areas can we focus on to keep improving team health? And we want to measure how well What kind of impact these these interventions have whether their process changes or whatever But there's a balance between like measuring stuff and Well, you don't want to be creepy about it and be like oh our fun has dropped below three. So now We got to do something. So there's a balance of measuring stuff and Continuing to make the qualitative dimension The survey is visible and making sure we have plenty of context around those and a big challenge that I see is balancing standardized practices for teams with what works for the team individually. So There's stuff that we want to share and Standardize on but also there's practices that aren't appropriate for certain teams. So we want to strike the right balance there That's just attribution. Okay. I think I'm done I'd love to hear questions comments and thoughts and also I just want to say thank you to my fellow team practices group members for being great colleagues and developing this process To our leadership who support this process and the team practices group and to the teams themselves who take this survey and teams we work with It's always really a great honor to spend time with teams and hear what they're up to and hear what they care about. So thank you And if you have questions, could I please ask you to use this microphone over here? Thanks Burning questions about team help We'll close your mouth Pull it down. It's on a gooseneck There you go. I'm curious if you have had any This particular team practice team practices group has worked with any other teams besides engineering We worked with we did our first well Research and data team have been on board since the beginning actually and I think they do a little bit of engineering But I don't think there's strictly an engineering team and they were actually Instrumental in helping us to evolve the survey because their feedback drove us to change it to be Generic and not just engineering specific. So we changed releasing which was one original focus area to delivery So delivery, what are we delivering? We're delivering maybe publications or reports or we're delivering services So the survey is now ready for primetime with non-engineering teams We also did the survey this past quarter with the community liaisons And I'm sure you probably mentioned it is the survey posted Yeah, the survey itself is on media wiki.org and the results are on office wiki, okay Quick question from IRC. Where can one read about these results technical bet? Good question Nowhere yet, but note to self next check in we do with release engineering We shall make a note to get some documentation up. Hi. Yes, sir. Thank you for your presentation So you mentioned at the beginning that the process was done through a group discussion that I was Fascinated by the TPG group And you mentioned that sometimes people were discovering Feelings from other members of their team. So it feels a bit like Like couples therapy where you know just having people in the same room and talking about Meta, you know meta awareness and discussion, etc. Just can improve communication between members of the of the group. So Is that your feeling as well? And do you think that maybe just Having these discussions is a net benefit Yes Yeah we explicitly Part of we explicitly exclude Like next steps from this process. So we don't go in saying we're going to find all these problems and and Identify next steps. Sometimes we do find them, but I think we really wanted to keep it as the value was in the conversation itself and You know, it also sets a baseline for that quarter, but outside of the process people can talk about What actions they want to take afterwards? They can take this information and do what they want with it But I absolutely agree that The process in and of itself is valuable. It's time that we take as a team It's a special thing that we normally don't get to do in the course of day-to-day business So it can be really illuminating to hear What is you know, what are the pain points that the person you work to next to every day is experiencing? It provides that space to listen and talk Be curious to hear from anyone who's taken the health check survey about their experience While someone's waiting to give that experience, there's another question from IRC Which is are there any blog posts on the results? No That would be a good one. I Don't think so. Grace or Kevin. Do you guys know? All right, we'll put it in our team practices group backlog other questions about process the results team help Anyone who's taken the survey All right, thank you everybody. I guess I'll point out to we have team team practices mailing list Join up on that. There's some interesting conversation there and resources being shared and Team practices IRC channel as well. All right. That's it. It's a wrap. Thank you
