## Tools

### Documents and tasks in Github
We'll host project documents and the task board in a (Github repository)[https://github.com/18F/fs-human-centered-design] for this project. I'll also keep a (task board)[https://github.com/18F/fs-human-centered-design/projects/1], updated with what I'm working on, there.
### Documents and tasks
We'll host project documents in a (Github repository)[https://github.com/18F/fs-human-centered-design] for this project. For visibility to the broader ePermits team, project tasks are tracked in the ePermits Trello (task board)[https://trello.com/b/ONDcGQnk/forest-service-e-permitting-project]. Tasks for this project are marked with a blue "nrm-hcd" label.

Github is the one place that both Forest Service and GSA staff can access without much rigamarole.

### Chat in Slack and Skype
We have a channel in the GSA TTS Slack for this project, #fs-hcd. Aaron and Oleysa are there already. I will invite other Forest Service folks involved in these efforts to join us there, as well.

As the project gets underway, I will also make myself available on Forest Service Skype.
### Chat in Slack
We have two channels in the GSA TTS Slack for this project, #fs-hcd, and #fs-hcd-partners:
- **#fs-hcd** is for 18F staff and FS leadership to discuss agreements and program-level questions.
- **fs-hcd-partners** includes FS staff who are participating as cadre members.

## Other rituals

### "Weekly ship"
I will prepare a weekly update on this project's progress for Aaron and Brian. I'll also work with Oleysa to include project financial status in each one. I'll send a shorter version to other Forest Service staff involved in our efforts.
We prepare a weekly update on this project's progress that we email to Aaron and Brian each Friday.
