Vacations



Ian's manager (Chrissy Rissmeyer) is concerned about the amount of Ian's time is being spent on Apigee.   She would like to setup a schedule of periodic participation on the project.  Perhaps some sort of Sprint schedule where Ian would dedicate some percentage of his time to the Apigee project for 2 weeks and then be mostly off the project for 4 or 6 weeks.  Such a schedule would decrease context switching and encourage planning, resource scheduling and effort coordination.
