Thank you to everyone who attended our meetup in February, it was an absolute pleasure to meet all of you and some very interesting discussions were had. I am very sorry to say that it may also be the last time I meet with some of you, although hopefully not, as I am stepping down as Co-Chair of this wonderful community group due to the fact that I am leaving the Tessitura fold for a new position as Head of Data and Insight at another organisation that does not use Tessitura (unfortunately!).
I am sad to be leaving so soon after joining this community, but you are in the very capable hands of the wonderful Yasmin.
However, before I go I do remember that I promised some follow up from our meetup in the form of the Master Decision document we are beginning to trial within our Development department.
This document is designed to be a central place to record data and process changes in Tessitura, who was involved, when it happened, and importantly the logic/reasoning/impact of those changes. This was actually inspired by a session at TLCC London last year (if my TLCC notes don't lie to me) on Scalable Training Programmes by Jenna Whitnall and Sarah Berryman. Jenna specifically discussed a decision mapping document they use alongside their data dictionaries and product hierarchy mapping.
As our document is still in very early stages, what I have done below is provide the template we have designed to then record each change. It is quite simple, to allow it to be accessible to all staff within Development, but I hope it helps.
I thought to add a couple of things to Lauren's mention of co-presenters of the TLCC session on scalable training programmes: - Jenna Whitnall is co-chair of the EU Museums & Attractions Tessitura Community (next meetup 30th March)- Sarah Berryman is co-chair of the Onboarding & Upskilling Your Team Tessitura Community (next meetup 29th March)Feel free to join either of the groups above or both, and thanks to Lauren for this last post - we wish her all the best for pastures new!
