Retrospective

Liked (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)
  • 2022 Q2 Software Release on April 4th!!! Nice job by all (Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] )(Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • With the OSA01 fully on-boarded onto our DEV tier, and with the submitter preview successfully completed, we've finally been able to push the study up to the QA tier for formal testing, and therefore release in the immediate future Musk, Philip (NIH/NCI) [C] 
  • Although the bug-fest that erupted on the Thursday and Friday immediately prior to our planned Production release was unwelcome to say the least, I think we should give ourselves some credit for the way we triaged the situation, such that we could still release only days later, even if the release process itself still went sideways Musk, Philip (NIH/NCI) [C] 
  • The process by which we're now handling the iteration of designs and the review and sign-off process for them. From my perspective it's working really well Musk, Philip (NIH/NCI) [C] 
  • The ease with which we were able to move to fully compact Accession IDs, given that we were dependent upon changes being made at Identifiers.org Musk, Philip (NIH/NCI) [C] 
  • The data model explorer's data loading template and PDF export functions hitting Production with near perfect timing relative to upcoming data submissions. Our timing couldn't have been much closer to perfect and major stakeholders are very clear on the impact of the functionality in question Musk, Philip (NIH/NCI) [C]  
  • Appreciative of the ongoing improvements and refinement (subtle to great) to the canine data commons, and how it has served our Bento family as a whole Stogsdill, Hannah (NIH/NCI) [C] .
  • New News & spot light page (Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] )

  • List anything that we could have done better in this sprint (add your name after your comment)
  • Some bugs invoked by edge cases surfaced on the Data Model Explorer (Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • Hot Patches will be required for the Data Model Explorer (Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • Despite plenty of discussion around our plans, the final deployments to the Stage environment, and even more so to the Production environment, were poorly coordinated Musk, Philip (NIH/NCI) [C] 
  • Discovering major bugs, albeit edge cases, in new functionality only after our Production release is disappointing. Thankfully, the functionalities of the data model explorer most critical to data submission, i.e. the table view downloads, were not impacted by these issues Musk, Philip (NIH/NCI) [C] 
  • Data model explorer facet filter implementation and bugs . (Udosen, Toyo (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • Quicker turn over of design fixes prompted by Design Reviews, whether it is done within the same Sprint as Design Review submission or the next Sprint. When time between review and fix is elongated, it requires relearning or getting reacquainted with all the requested changes which makes the process cumbersome Stogsdill, Hannah (NIH/NCI) [C] .
  • Last minute bugs found in Data Model Explorer before release (Sheth, Karan (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • style changes on bento component (footer). (Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] )

Learned(lightbulb)

  • List anything you learned about in this sprint (add your name after your comment)
  • To support gene annotation tracks in JBrowse genomic feature files need to be sources and formatted (Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • Getting to know JBrowse environment from the user's perspective in order to consider possible solutions for access to multiple file and alignment views Stogsdill, Hannah (NIH/NCI) [C] 
  • additional style configuration for bento component (Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] )
