85 minutes actual

[jrhorn424]

Previous actual was incorrect. I mistakenly lumped the time together with ga-wdi-boston/git-github-fork.

Actual was 65 minutes.

[RealWeeks]

70 minutes.

[jrhorn424]

70 minutes is practically a 2 actual

[berziiii]

77 minutes actual (break included)

[RealWeeks]

70 inc break

I'm going to remove the prepared label until we've merged changes and closed other open issues. Apologies @payne-chris-r.

@jrhorn424 looks like this one is a "long 1 unit" (70+ is 2 units, correct?). Is it just that this is a "long 1" and github is a "short 1"?

[jrhorn424]

I'll adjust the calendar. Thanks @payne-chris-r

1 Actual. 55 minutes. It went shorter than I anticipated, but went long on github lesson.

2 actual 80 minutes. Still think this is 1 actual. I went off script in the beginning and didn’t stay tight on time. This should be 1 block, I think my delivery and the size of the room contributed to the actual here.

2 actual.
Scheduled: 1-2pm
Actual: 1-3pm (with two 10min breaks)

Spent more time explaining what version control and git are, why we use them, what they are similar to that we already know. There were MANY questions from the developers since some of them have experience with LM software that is similar. I was able to avoid most rabbit holes but still had to field questions and put them in perspective.

We made up to and including Stage 3 of http://learngitbranching.js.org/ and then encouraged them to do the rest on their own.

There was time spent drawing diagrams on the white board, potentially it would save time to have another consultant draw while the other presents. Also, having diagrams in the repository as image files or in the README could have been useful for saving time as well.

I think spending additional time on what git is was time well spent with this cohort and thanks to a well planned calendar we had the time available.

2 actual. 120minutes.
Scheduled: 12-1pm, lunch, 2-2:30
Actual: 1230-1pm, lunch, 2-3:30

Talk before this went late so we only had 30minutes to start before lunch. Similar delivery as previous though. Still spent more time explaining What and Why about Git and Github using Dropbox and Google Drive as examples.
