Research stats for the Design System

[Hanastevenson]

Overview

The design system team are looking for stats to assist for their user research outcome.

Action Items

• [ ] How many people onboarded in 2020, 2021 and 2022? Where there any trends in months?
• [ ] Do we know how many people onboarded on average for the last 5 years (before the pandemic and WFH activities)?
• [ ] How many people signed up for the onboarding session vs how many people actually attended the onboarding session? (can we date back to early 2021?)
• [ ] Do we know how many people joined and left projects in 2021?
• [ ] Do we know - of the people joined and left, in which roles were they in?
• [ ] How many dropped out after the Hack for LA onboarding session? For 2021 can we see the percentage of people who move on to onboard a team/program? (Github activity vs non-activity.)
• [ ] Can we measure the volunteer turnover per project (information perhaps found in role call sheet or otherwise through Github issue activities.)

These topics were discussed during the March 7 PM Design Systems meeting. Jeanette subsequently attended the VRMS team's general meeting. Please read the following answers below.

• How many people onboarded in 2020, 2021 and 2022? Were there any trends in months?

  • Answer: VRMS team can provide the number of people that signed into VRMS for onboarding meeting.

• Do we know how many people onboarded on average for the last 5 years (before the pandemic and WFH activities)?

  • Answer: VRSM goes back to 3 to 6 months before the pandemic started. What are the sign-ins for all the onboarding meetings and check out the exact date when HfLA moved to online onboarding (note: will be signaled in the title of event itself)? Note for the commenter: before the pandemic onboarding happened in-person.

• How many people signed up for the onboarding session vs how many people actually attended the onboarding session? (can we date back to early 2021?)

  • Answer: check the registered vs signed in for the VRMS onboarding meeting. You can measure the percentages of shows versus no-shows. (Where is the registered data?)

• Can we measure the volunteer turnover per project (information perhaps found in role call sheet or otherwise through Github issue activities.)

  • Answer: check the rosters for a good proxy, look back at the editing history. Idea to save time: classifying projects into e.g. high or low turnover. Subsequently, sample within those project categories and measure the turnover.

For later, if time permits

• Do we know how many people joined and left projects in 2021? (Time from first to last checkin for each team).
  • Answer: check the rosters for a good proxy, look back at the editing history. Idea to save time: classifying projects into e.g. high or low turnover. Subsequently, sample within those project categories and measure the turnover.
• Do we know - of the people joined and left, in which roles were they in?
  • Answer: look at procedure described above.
• How many dropped out after the Hack for LA onboarding session? For 2021 can we see the percentage of people who move on to onboard a team/program? (Github activity vs non-activity.)
  • Note from the VRMS team: You can track this through a good first issue. Note from Jeanette: This would actually be a good idea to output through an onboarding procedure.

@JeannyRen Do you need anything else from us for this?
