Training Templates

Tech Fleet's guilds have prepared training templates that are based on group work to complete the entire project lifecycle, from intake to delivery.

See all of our training templates here on our website:

Notion

Notion is used for Tech Fleet project repositories, where teams document their work for historical purposes.

The Project Coordinator will create a project page for the team that's based on a template we use for every project. Check out the template here:

Google Meet

Google Meet is Tech Fleet's video meeting tool. With it, recordings and notes can be managed. Sometimes teams add meetings using Discord streaming channels instead of Google Meet. All meeting links, whether Google Meet or otherwise, should show on Tech Fleet Calendar events.

The Project Coordinator will share a Google log in for the team so that they can use the Tech Fleet Zoom account (Video recording storage and transcription for each project).

Storing, documenting, and rewatching recordings

  • Record meetings that are important for the team (and observers)

  • Document recordings in Notion and share links on appropriate Slack channels

  • Please make sure that you are sharing a link that is open to anyone with that link as appropriate

Lettucemeet

For scheduling team meetings and establishing availabilities

Figma

Figma's the main design tool Tech Fleet teams use on projects.

  • Figma - a prototyping tool used by teams to make pixel-perfect designs

  • FigJam - a digital whiteboarding tool great for brainstorming / group work / UX research / UX design / sprint planning / retros / workshops

Google

Tech Fleet uses Google for shared calendars and meeting scheduling.

The same email shared by the Project Coordinator allows for the team to have a dedicated email for scheduling research sessions and a focused calendar for the team.

  • When creating meetings for the team use the same project prefix everywhere. Examples: “#Project-Design” on Slack, “Project-Design Working Session”, “Project-Sprint Planning”

    • This makes it easier for team members and shadowers to find the meetings

  • Login to the team email

  • Add all team members to the respective google calendar

  • Add a zoom meeting to the invite with the Google Meet link on the invite

  • Invite [email protected] so that meetings appear on the Tech Fleet Google Calendar

  • Create agendas before all meetings. This ensures the meeting stays on track when they need to
