Build a feedback plan

[binford2k]

Think back to your charter. You identified some metrics that would identify whether this project was a success or not. With the release next week, how will you measure these metrics? How will you identify course corrections for the future? Put together a quick plan for answering these three questions:

• Did the project fully solve the problem that it was designed to address?
• What can you do next to iterate and deliver more benefits?
• What lessons did you learn for future work on this or other projects?

This can be as formal or not as you choose. If your chosen success metrics orient around download count or repository forks, then maybe all you need is a comment closing this issue with a link to your repository insights. If something more formal would help you, then write out your plan and determine how you'll execute on it.

Remember that you can ask Puppet project managers for advice, and you can reach out to individuals you've worked with to provide feedback on the process and the project.
