Call My Name

Waiting to be picked uplast activity Nov 10· waiting on the session date

Next: The team's first pass on the names, then the shared session; then the rename and the records updated in one change.

Why we did this

Two new things need names, and a name decides what customers think they are.

What happened

A brief with the candidates placed by the model each attaches to, the agent's proposal, and a one-hour agenda for deciding as a team.

New in this cycleEvery candidate name sits next to the idea it attaches to in a customer's head.

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

Someone said

From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

We decided

c0-D2 The names are decided out in the open in a shared team session, after a first pass; the brief places the suggestions by the mental model each attaches to. — The Qpoint team

So now

Every candidate name sits next to the idea it attaches to in a customer's head.

Thanks to

Asked for the names before the code

Started the app's repo with a naming cycle; framed it by the customer's cognitive map and the job they undertake; named the two verbs the test rests on: the control plane is something you connect to, qcontrol is the thing you deploy.
