Purpose
To reduce unnecessary time loss on engineering personnel’s time, and retain the same level of information for management to direct resources/schedule
Responsibility
- Drafter/Engineer
- To post one update per weekly thread detailing changes from the previous week’s updates
- Head of Engineering
- To align information with the submittals and labor tabs in Innergy (with regards to drafting) prior to meeting with management, in order to best allocate resources
- To change the dates in the associated work orders to best reflect current understanding of priorities
Procedure
-
Once per week, a thread is automatically created in the Engineering Teams channel. See below example:

-
Prior to 10:15 a.m. Monday morning, all drafters must post an update to the thread by hitting “Reply in thread”:

-
The Head of Engineering will then collect the information, and come to the Engineering meeting with updated schedule/priorities
- PMs must ensure submittal statuses are correct prior to the meeting
Expectations
- All updates are posted prior to that week’s engineering meeting
Reminder: Structure of Teams threads are as follows:
- Channel is a filing cabinet
- Thread is a folder within that cabinet
- Each reply is a sheet of paper in that folder
