Retrospective
Something our team did well is... 
- 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 or feel free to keep it annonymous)
- Shout out to the Dev team for working hard to capture design details despite challenges in responsive behaviors which make consistency matching no picnic in the park. Always appreciate their patience and taking time to go over issues even if requires a brief slack chat. (Stogsdill, Hannah (NIH/NCI) [C] )
- Testing team for finding out the critical issues for the table. QA Design review also revealed issue with delete action for the table. (Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] )
- Easy Configuration for DMN integrate to other bento app. (Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] )
- Coordinations with different teams ICDC/Bento for the development of bento-core components (Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] )
- Shout out to this entire team, every single one of you, fantastic job on all the work that was completed during Option 2. I enjoy coming to work every day because of the type of people I get to work with
(Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] )
Something that I think we need to improve for next time is... 
- List anything that we could have done better in this sprint (these comments can be anonymous)
- Bentofication road map was created prioritizing the existing components over the new features like LF and GS. Prioritizing new feature and backend services could have prevented prolonging of the Bentofication. (Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] )
- Need to work on documentation more for the bento-core and DMN. (Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] )
- If you are are planning on taking a vacation
, make sure you tell the team in standup and you might want to mention it several times so that people remember, this is not a dig on Eric, I just want to make sure we start to do this since it impacts everyone (Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] ).
Something I learned about during this sprint is...
Setting up java spring-boot with graphql and neoj4 database. New features of java 17.
- I learned that many of the scroll bar and zoom issues that we face are due to the fact that we are using an outdated version of WebPack and that upgrading to a newer version will not be trivial and will likely need to happen at the Bento level (Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] ).
- I've learned a better and more detailed way of writing defect tickets (shout out to Gina for the format she provided, sometimes minor details are left out - but with this format it assures any and all necessary details are included)
Actions
- Better catalog/documentation of system changes, ie. a DevOps log
- Always reschedule standup meetings
- Be sure to update test cases if and when requirements evolve
- DevOps leads should sign off on new microservice designs
- Create an external service to cache data from external APIs (Performance Caching)
- Mukherjee, Amit (NIH/NCI) [C] to create a DevOps task to implement performance caching and polling/reporting of outages to Slack or email.
