Retrospective

Where did we improve? (smile) 

  • List anything that went well in this sprint including shout out to others that went out of their way to help (add your name after your comment)
  • It really seems like we are starting off very strong with the FE Refactoring Effort, nice job and keep up the good work! (Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] 
  • Frontend team adapted to the new design quickly and finished all planed tasks for this sprint, that's awesome, kudos to the team! (Ying, Ming (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • New approach for component configuration. (Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • Congratulations to the team for successful release of Bento 3.10.0 (Sheth, Karan (NIH/NCI) [C])
  • I would like to give kudos to Frontend team for refactoring complex components in short amount of time frame. (Sheth, Karan (NIH/NCI) [C])

What areas still need improvement? (sad)

  • List anything that we could have done better in this sprint (add your name after your comment)
  • I still see tickets that don't have story points during a sprint (Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • I think we should try to include "Acceptance Criteria" for user stories that are very technical in nature so that there are clear expectations for the QA team (Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • Our initial plan missed a couple of small components, and also didn't realize dependency between cart component and the table. We (I mean I) need to do better planning next time. (Ying, Ming (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • Short time for learning and applying new concepts (Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • If I can create tickets for upcoming sprints early on it will be helpful for the team to have early view rather then just learning about new tickets in Planning Session. (Sheth, Karan (NIH/NCI) [C])
  • We need to make an effort to continuously keep project dependencies up to date as new versions are released so we that we can minimize our security risk (Mueller, Austin (NIH/NCI) [C] )

What you have learned? (lightbulb)

  • List anything you learned about in this sprint (add your name after your comment)
  • I am getting the opportunity to learn more about URIs (Unique Resource Identifiers) that are a part of the Data Repository Service (DRS) which will ultimately help us to implement an "Export Files" button to the Cancer Genomics Cloud (CGC) (Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • Writing frameworks needs a completely different mindset from writing application. Best practice for writing application might not be best for a framework. (Ying, Ming (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • MVC pattern for configuration. (Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • I learned a lot about dependency upgrading tools and processes as well as best practices associated with this that can be implemented into our future work processes (Mueller, Austin (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • I learned about access-token based authentication and how it can benefit Bento when we implement token-based authentication in the next Sprint (Mueller, Austin (NIH/NCI) [C] )
