Consultation with Eloiza Serate (Virtual Champions) to finalize the ClickUp implementation go-ahead. The blueprint/audit phase is complete and approved; this meeting scoped the implementation phase, identified the one remaining open decision (task assignee protocol), and established the data migration target window. A separate SOW for implementation will be issued.
Attendees:
- Eloiza Serate — Virtual Champions (external consultant)
- Melissa Cusumano — Asymmetric
- Isalia Ramirez — Asymmetric
| Decision | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Proceed with implementation? | ✅ Yes — greenlit |
| Audit/blueprint scope vs. implementation scope | Implementation is a new, separate SOW |
| Sales in ClickUp? | ❌ No — sales stays in HubSpot; integration considered only if needed |
| Data migration window | Targeting Thanksgiving weekend, Nov 27–30 (pending Mark's approval) |
| Task assignee / subtask protocol | ⚠️ Still undecided — see open question below |
This is the one unresolved design decision that must be made before or during the build phase.
01 -, 02 -, etc. to enforce visible sequenceContext: Asymmetric previously used single-assignee + subtasks, then switched to multi-assignee on parent tasks after subtasks were getting missed post-merger growth. Training was identified as the key mitigating factor regardless of which protocol is chosen.
On proceeding with implementation despite open questions:
"Once you see it and it's going to make a bit of sense, and then if there's anything that's still in a gray area, then we can further discuss. But yeah, seeing it visually would answer a lot of questions." — Eloiza Serate
On the assignee protocol history at Asymmetric:
"I used to be a true believer in one person at the top level, and then everybody would be on a subtask… Then we switched it because the subtasks would be getting lost, and people wouldn't see the subtasks. So that's why we started putting everybody in the parent task." — Melissa Cusumano
On the dynamic subtask trade-off:
"If it's like a Gantt chart with all of the tasks listed from top to bottom, then you have a forecast of what the workload looks like in the future… The subtask only gets added, so you lose that hindsight or the forecast ability." — Eloiza Serate
On the migration window:
"It would be great if we can have like the full four days… Maybe just an exception for this year or something, just so we can support the migration and make it a smooth transition." — Eloiza Serate
On sales staying in HubSpot:
"That was one thing that we decided not to really have in the Blueprint was the sales because he wants to stay on HubSpot… Maybe just an integration if needed." — Melissa Cusumano / Eloiza Serate
