Decompressing from the PSO

Categories:

I am back in the office this morning after taking a couple days off from the successful completion of last week's PSO. Boston has been baking under 90-plus degree weather and it's actually comforting to be back in the air-conditioned cave that is UMass Boston.

Despite the completion of activities from the PSO, there is still a lot of paperwork to process, evaluations to read and improvements to be documented down for next time. We've ran four PSOs in the last year, which has kept the process fresh in the Project's mind. Fortunately for our stress-levels, our next full-PSO won't happen until next summer; unfortunately, that leaves a lot of time to forget what we've learned unless we document it.

Even with the Lowell PSO over, there are a few more VISTAs that will be joining us in August. They will be attending the Corporation's PSO in Providence, RI, which is gentler since the Project won't be running it, but we'll still have to orient them to all the CTC VISTA specific info and procedures. All of the paperwork for those incoming VISTAs is due next week!
